On a boat, I'd say a winch is used for adding leverage to the tightening of ropes, while a wench is what would fetch the beverages and be helpful in other ways. The male counterpart being the cabin boy.

You guys are too funny and I havent had my Coffee yet....

straightening pipe is an difficult process.

A Car Jack comes to mind along with setting up a place to restrain the pipe panel. Depending on how far you have to go with it. The hardest part is keeping the rest of the panel in tact or unbent.

Car jacks the kind with the Acme screw thread through them can be layed on their side with one end fastened to a stationary object.... Fence post, Tree, Truck fender... (one that isnt made of plastic or 22 gauge material. then the panel can be layed on a board with some tooling posts fastened to it so the panel cant move.

For what its worth Acme threads work both ways.... Either to compress or expand....

If its a light weight kennel panel it should be fixable.... If its sixteen gauge or more..... Might be easier to cut out the offending piece and replace it with a straight one and securing it with a pipe splice.....

:/ There is a big difference between chaining a wench to a tree and using a winch to secure a tree....

The last wench that I chained to a tree tried to convince me that turnabout was fair play.

I will ignore the other screen name for the foreseeable future.

Okay. I hope you're able to continue posting on this name.
I'm getting really busy with school and we've got a lot of projects coming up with the chickens (coop to build, coop to move and rebuild, then another coop to build plus a brooder for that one, and I'm going to have to take apart my current brooder...lots to do). Please quote me or PM me, so we can keep up with each other. Okay?
I hope everything's going well with you and your chickens and all your loved ones!!!

Been missin' ya! =)

Brought home some dog run fence panels yesterday, the gate and one panel 20x6 escaped the falling tree without being bent, the others three are going to be a challenge. Maybe if I drink more coffee I will be stimulated enough to figure out how to make them straight enough.

You could lay them out on a slab of cement and bang them with a hammer or something.
