I took the cattle panels and bent them over for my raised beds

I love this look! We have a whole bunch of cattle panels, just leaning up against a shed, doing absolutely nothing. I never realized they could be so pretty in the garden. Has anyone who's still on the forum ever done this? Any helpful hints?

I usually have one arched for my peas. I use hog panels, 34" x 16', they fit into a 3' x 8 bed nicely. I have used them to make large cold frames and a greenhouse as well. I have also made animal shelters with them arched and a tarp tied over.
Kim at sfg4u has made a lovely squash arch with them.
Arched livestock panels are incredibly useful and versatile.

YEE-HAH! I can't wait to get started. Do we need anything else besides T posts?

I'm glad this thread was bumped! I didn't know Hog panels wee only 34". These would be good for smaller beds. Thanks for the general info.
