Sheep Panel
Product Introduction
Sheep Panel is a welded wire mesh panel specifically designed for containing sheep, lambs, and other small ruminants in pasture, feedlots, and handling facilities. Manufactured from hot-dip galvanised steel wire (3.0mm–4.0mm diameter) with a tighter mesh aperture compared to cattle or horse panels, it prevents adult sheep from forcing their heads through and stops lambs from escaping under or between wires.
The panel features fully welded intersections, a smooth top edge (optional rolled or capped rail), and a rigid rectangular frame for simple post-to-panel attachment. Common uses include permanent boundary fencing, paddock subdivision, laneway construction, and portable electric netting backups.
The open design maintains visibility across the flock while providing a durable, low-maintenance barrier that suits both intensive and extensive sheep systems.
Typical Applications
- Permanent pasture boundaries and internal paddock divisions
- Lambing paddocks (protecting newborns from predators)
- Feedlot pens and supplementary feeding yards
- Sheep handling races, drafting alleys, and loading ramps
- Boundary fences alongside roads or neighbours
- Temporary paddocks for rotational grazing (with step-in posts)

Key Features & Benefits
- Sheep-specific mesh designMesh apertures (e.g., 75×75mm or 75×100mm) are small enough to prevent adult sheep from pushing their heads through, and the tight vertical spacing stops lambs from crawling under the lowest wire. Also reduces risk of leg trap injuries.
- Smooth, animal-friendly finishAll weld points are flush; optional top rail is capped or rolled. No sharp burrs or protruding wire ends that could cut sheep’s eyes, ears, or wool during rubbing or fence walking.
- Rigid welded constructionEvery wire intersection is resistance-welded, creating a stiff, flat panel that does not sag, twist, or bow under sheep pressure (leaning, scratching, or jumping). The optional top rail adds extra rigidity for long fence runs.
- Fast installation with standard farm postsPanels ship flat and stack compactly. Attach to wooden, steel, or concrete posts using U-nails, wire ties, or pre-drilled bracket kits. Pre-formed lugs or pre-punched holes can be added for quicker fixing.
- Visible flock managementThe open grid allows sheep to see other sheep and their surroundings, reducing stress and pacing behaviour. At the same time, the tight mesh prevents escapes and keeps predators (e.g., foxes, dogs) out.
- Custom heights for different breedsChoose 0.9m for small breeds (e.g., Shetland), 1.1m for medium breeds (e.g., Suffolk), or 1.2–1.4m for hill breeds or areas with heavy dog pressure. Narrower widths and smaller mesh available for lamb creep areas.
All specifications – wire diameter, mesh aperture, panel dimensions (width & height), top/bottom rail profiles, zinc coating weight, and powder coating colour – are fully customisable based on your flock type, predator pressure, and paddock layout. From drawing submission to sample fabrication and final delivery, we provide a complete one-stop solution tailored to your sheep operation.
