Livestock fence panel trellis photos

Morganc, they are the best recipe you ever tasted for greens. Lilly Mae is Gymgirl's mother.
Gymgirl made us a pot & brought it to the first RU we had @ RJuddHarrison's. They didn't need any seasoning @ all. They are more than one kind of greens & are absolutely GREAT!!!!!!!!!
Talk to her nice & I bet she will give you recipe but only if you call them "Lilly Mae's Greens"!
:~)

That's beautiful, Cocoa! What a refreshing sight for sore eyes! Love the brass caps on the posts, too!

Thanks!

I'm droolin

Sounds really yummy!

silly girl question....if the panels are 16 ft long...how did you get them home?
my hubby has a new truck...he'd just die if I scratched it getting those things
home.

My friend down the street is using them for a bean trellis..another friend
uses fence posts to hang them on for her veggie garden.

Thanks for all the great ideas!

We used a trailer but some places will deliver if you live nearby.

She is in East Texas we all have at lease 1 trailer out here .... LOL

I bought numerous panels over the years and since I drive an Xterra SUV I had the guys at McCoy's roll/fold them over and tie the two ends together - the result should look a huge rain drop :o) I then had them tie that down on top of the roof rack of my vehicle.

The next time I bought some I just had the guys lay them on top of the xterra roof rack and tie them down to that as well as to the front bumper. Mind you...those things are 16 feet in length so they pretty much will hang over the hood and out to the back of your vehicle. However, I didn't want to risk any scratches to the paint so I put a rolled up blanket on the front of the hood where the wire panel would touch the vehicle - and well the back end of the panel just sort of hung out over the back of my car...but since they were tied to the back end of the roof rack they didn't touch the trunk/cargo paint.

I live only about a mile from the local McCoy's so didn't have far to travel...but am sure everyone that passed me by thought I was a crazy woman!!!

Other than that if you have a truck bed you can probably get the panels to roll up into a semi-large roll that you can tie together so the ends don't spring back out on you and lay that into the truck bed...they are only 48 inches in height...so that should fit into any truck bed :o)

Good luck!

Now I just need to figure out how to fit one into my Geo Metro...

Strap 'em down on the top!! Just be sure to put some kind of pad on top of your car to keep the panels from scratching the roof.

Why can't the lumber companies like HD and Lowe's just CUT them for you? They cut lumber for people don't they?

Every time I buy 10 ft of PVC pipe I end up driving home holding on to it outside and parallel to my car. Can't go too fast cause the wind catches in the pipe and starts humming like one'a those Aborigine pipe thingies!

I have asked to borrow a PVC cutter or hacksaw to do just that GG.
Conduit comes in 20 foot lengths, and I can only get about 9 feet inside the car (rear seats fold down).
I can secure the trunk open a bit to handle 10 foot material.

Gymgirl, my HD has cut PVC pipe for me ... they'll only do one cut. Ask the manager of your store.

Marylyn_TX,
ROTFLMAO .... I can just see you driving down I45 with cattle panels end to end bouncing Up & Down ..........lol

See, this is what I'm thinking... LOL If it goes from the hood to the back of Cat's Xterra, I'd have to wrap my Geo - several times.

Linda, ROFLOLOL... The next time you buy PVC pipe, let me know. I want to watch. ^_^

I have DH all lined up with his trailer for a Sat run to the new Atwoods. They have panels for 19.99 and starter veggie & flower plants 3 packs for 58 cents I Thats cheaper then starting seeds ...
Now if I could only find some of last years baled hay
Cheryl

um, Do I have an Atwoods in Houston?

Ummm.... http://atwoodapps.elementfusion.com/store_locator.asp No.

Too bad.. It looks like a nice store!

shoot.

probably not much of a call for it in Houston--not much livestock to contain. you used to could get concrete reinforcing mesh which was basically the same thing just shorter (6-7' high by different lengths).

Atwoods just opened (Grand Opening Sat) up here also I think there are only 4 or 5 in texas ...
Im sure they will head south sooner or later

There is an Atwoods in Jacksonville demi.

Gymgirl...too funny! Who knows...making that pipe thingie sound might attract some long lost species of bird...or the chupacabra!!! Heh heh!

Marylyn...You can do it!!!
Don't you remember seeing those little foreign cars loaded to the gills?!

Y'all are cracking me up! Love that funny photo, Cat!

I do so want to make that arbor trellis! Keep the ideas coming ...

ROFOLOL, Cat!!! That's an awesome photo.

Poor car.

When I went to Africa, I rode in a little bus that was packed like that on the outside. And not only with stuff, but PEOPLE actually rode on the outside, too, holding onto whatever they could. Did I mention there were goats and chickens in cages strapped to that little bus? And there were these clever little seats that folded up to make an isle. Once four people sat down in their seats, they folded the last seat down for one more passenger. Then there were no aisles.

And all this activity was on a one-lane dirt road going up a mountain with no side railing. I sat in the very first seat across from the driver and watched him playing chicken with the bus approaching head-on. They instinctively seemed to know which way to curve so there'd be no collision.

And I said more prayers than I ever prayed in my life! Now I know what those reports of tourist busses going off the cliffs are all about....

TRock!

How do you make a "quote" box!!!???

KEWL!^_^

LOL All ~ TRock, I would have to say you are addicted to adrenalin... 8 )

Yeah...my neice was working in Nigeria last year and she said she'd see guys on bicycles and motorcycles packed to gills...and the buses or 'carts' had people hanging on from the outside. Wish I would've thought to have her take photos.

Wish I would've taken a photo of my xterra with those fence panels on it! Oh well, ya'll will just have to settle for this one of my after I raided a friend's yard for Golden Pothos cuttings!!! Mind you...I drove a good 10 miles through the city from her house to mine with this stuff on my car :o) ROFL!!!
