I used a threaded male and female coupler and put an oring on each side no leaks!

We created our outer run using cattle panel and created a fence using a piece of it. Needed a way to connect the fencing that gave us the ability to open and close and still be secure and last.
I came up with adding a tension spring as the connector so the panels could "hinge" and stay upright.

How difficult are those to get on the panel?

Not very hard at all. Think of a key ring. Just had to pry open the end, insert the two ends, and then twist it down.

Excellent solution and I wish I known of it years ago! Thanks for including it here as I'm sure I can pass that along in the future and maybe even use it myself.

Thank you for sharing this! The timing is perfect as I am getting ready to put up some more temporary runs using panels and was wondering how I was going to do a gate easily. This fits the bill wonderfully.

I love this thread as I have incorporated several ideas from here in my pens. Thank you all for being generous with your ideas and solutions.
