How big "Hoop Coop"?

Just in case you haven't figured out the easiest way to transport the panels I will try to explain. You need a pickup truck. Don't need a trailer. Need a second person.
Stand the panel on edge. Push the ends together. Place in bed of truck standing on edge with the bow against the cab. Keep adding panels the same way. The panels will push against the bed rails making them solid. I've transported 25 at a time in a full size pu and could of easily added more.
This is just what I needed to know!

Thanks. :thumbsup
 
Alternative (from a guy with a Buick sedan and an 8' aluminum flatbed trailer).
Buy several 2x6 x 16' (you will use them when framing your hoop coop, most likely, anyways). Stick them on the trailer first, extending over the tongue. Expect 6'+ to extend off the end.

Stack your cattle panels on top of that.
strap it down good.
tie a red flag to a cattle panel (or three) at the end of the length, so the Ahole in the lifted 4x4 doesn't rear end your trailer when he forgets he's been folowing one for the last several miles (happened more than once).

Drive home, watching for the Ahole in the lifted 4x4 behind you.
 
Here's one. Not quite walk in height due to wanting a low profile due to the wind, not quite finished.
