Weight
The weight of panels is determined by design, gauge of the steel, and the height and length
of the panel. A horse panel should be substantial enough to stay in place and withstand nor-
mal horse activity, yet should be easy to move around. There is a great variety in weights
of 12-foot horse panels on the market today, from 53 to 107 pounds. If you need a truly
portable pen, opt for lighter weight but realize that you are most likely sacrificing durabil-
ity and perhaps safety. Especially if you are using panels to make fairly permanent pens or
runs, choose heavy panels that will withstand rubbing and general horsing around.
