Different gauges of cattle panel?

[Soon2BChixMom]

Are there different gauges of cattle panel? I am using free CP given to me by my in-laws. I don't think there is any way I could ever bend this stuff. So, just wondering if there are different gauges- or if I am just a weakling.

IDK about gauges but all brands aren't created equal.
I have some unknown brand that bends fairly easy and rusts easily compared to the Red Brand I bought. It has yet to show any rust and have to be more careful bending it or it turns into a catapult.

This visual is cracking me up! I feel like you’ve been watching me try to set up a trellis by myself!

Pipe panels come in different gauges.

You didn't mention what you're using the panel for, but if you're making a hoop coop or greenhouse (I've done both), all you need to do is build a sturdy 2x4 frame, place one end of the panel against the inside of the furthest side of the frame, & walk toward it with the other end. Couldn't be much easier.

Maybe.
You never know who's watching or filming now a days.
Go out and do a little naked gardening and next thing you know you're on You Tube and part of the sermon in church on Sunday.

My life isn't ever that easy.
I'd get 6" from getting my end in the frame and stubble then I'm looking like Wile E Coyote flying through the air when his rocket skates over shoots the road runner.

Currently it is used as the run, but not hoop coop - more of a square.
But, I have seen some uses around gardens bent almost circular. There is no way I could bend this stuff like that.

The stuff I have is rusted, but it is also really old. Like at least 30 yrs old. I definitely could see the catapulting if I tried to bend it.

I just found a website that sells welded wire panels and they do come in different gauges.
