🐎 Where Continuous Fence Works Best
Continuous fence isn’t just good-looking — it’s built to work hard, too. Customers use it for:
- Arena kits – Clean boundaries for riding, roping, or turnout space
- Pasture fencing – No sagging, more strength and durability than standard wire means less time spent repairing in the future.
- Perimeter fencing – Easy to install, built to last, and low-maintenance
All panels are made from 14-gauge steel and come in three options:
- 4-Rail Panels – Fewer rails, wider spacing
- 5-Rail Panels – Our standard option, balanced for most livestock
- 6-Rail Panels – Tighter spacing for small livestock or added safety
Note: All panels are the same height. Choosing more rails means less space between each rail — not a taller fence.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How long is each panel?
Each panel is 20 feet long, which makes it easy to cover ground with fewer joints.
How tall is the finished fence?
Panels are designed to be installed 1 foot off the ground, for a finished height of 5 feet.
Can I install this by myself?
You can — and we show you how. The video includes tips for working solo with jack stands, a string line, and some patience.
Do I need to weld?
Nope. This video uses clips and self-drilling screws — easy to install, and ideal during burn bans or if welding’s not an option.
Can I use these panels in an arena?
Yes. Many of our customers use continuous fence in arena kits, and it works great for roping, riding, or general containment.
