We use 16-foot wire hog panels in a lot of different ways on our small farm, but the best application so far has been the greenhouse my husband made with three of the panels. To make a simple, low-cost greenhouse that works well and can be moved easily, arch the panels over raised beds — using T-posts to hold them in place — and then cover the structure with greenhouse plastic.
The 4-inch mesh on the panels gives stability to the plastic, so, unlike hoop houses, our greenhouse cover has never been damaged by a snow load, and this will be our fourth year of using the same plastic cover.
