- Taking Cattle Panels Home in a Pickup Truck | Cattle Panel Trellis Inspired by Roots and Refuge. How do you take cattle panels home using a pickup truck? Here is an easy option that we used to bring cattle panels home. We talk about some safety tips, and how many cattle panels you can comfortably fit in the back of a pickup truck. We picked up our 16ft. cattle panels from Tractor Supply for about $23 a piece. This video is inspired by the cattle panel trellises featured in many of Roots and Refuge Farm's videos. We will be using the cattle panels to create vertical gardening by turning them into arched trellises. We can't wait to share our process with you!

Noticed the "Cru" shirt. . Great organization!
Wheel well.
If you put them in arch in first works alot better , you can do it by yourself
I went to pick some up with my SUV and ended cutting them in half for two 4x8 trellis. Gardening life without a pick-up is a struggle.
Great video! What you are talking about getting past without scratching is the top of the wheel well....the wheel hub is actually what your wheel is bolted to.
I was thinking, I've only known it to be called a wheel well. We used to sit on them while riding in the back of trucks down dirt roads. So many years ago now. Lol.
This is hysterical that this video popped up in my suggestions. I was at a friends house yesterday and we were talking about the R&R video about cattle panels and how we would get them home!
I had to teach the guy at Tractor Supply how to do this, he and my spouse were standing there, OK, so HOW are we supposed to put them in an 8 foot bed. Once I showed them, they were like "DUH". LMAO!!!!
I just filmed us getting ours last night😂 Chris and the guy at tractor supply loaded them. He has an 8 foot bed so we just folded them in half and used ratchet straps attached to the bed sides to hold them in. Our video will be posted this weekend!! Can’t wait to see what they look like in your garden!
Can't wait to see your video! How did it go for you??
Roots and refused has me hyped up too. But I only own an explorer. So thanks for this video. Because I was a little exasperated with thought of getting them home. Now I need to find a pickup and more people.
I got 2 cattle-panels (16 ft) home on my Jetta wagon. The reached from the front of the hood to the just over the bumper. No red flag needed and no tension. I could probably carry 5 or 6. The limit being can you see through them since they hang over the front window.
what a cutie!
I imagine Chris trying to navigate his way out of the strapped panels to the James Bond theme. dun dun dun dun dun!
hahahha totally!!
I'm so eager to get to work in the new garden I am going to have trellis' all over the place!
Me too girl!! Although the weeds are already coming up, which makes me a teensy bit anxious.
@@SunshineFarm Oh no!!! D:
Nicely done! Now I May have to make one about the alternative way of getting them home
Yes! You absolutely do!!
I remember seeing your post in the Facebook group 😂😂 That’s one way to do it!
This was very helpful. Thank you so much
You’re so welcome!
Awesome, thanks for the great thoughts.
Thanks for answering this mystical question that has challenged people from ancient times or whatever it was that Chris said 🤣~Heather
hahahha Chris is such a goof ball. 😂
Great tips! Thanks!!
You're welcome!!
Thanks for the tips 👍
You're so welcome! Thank YOU for watching!
Kinda new to your channel and had to watch the video because you just need to find out how to actually get them home. It never crossed my mind until now. 😁
Totally! I was all ready to get cattle panels and didn’t even think of how we would get them in the truck.
This was awesome! I am ready to get my arched trellises when we find a garden! (:
Girl, I know how you feel! I waited so long for these!!
Definitely some great tips. I can't wait to see those implemented in the garden.😃
Me too! Hoping to get some up this weekend! 🙃
I see that apple tree in there! >.> XD I seriously can't wait to see your orchard!
We're working on getting it all planted right now!!
Glad you guys were able to get them home!! :D GREAT tips! :D
Happy Homesteading ~Shaina~
I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!
Looking forward to seeing the gardens evolve!🤗
I can't wait to share them with you!! I'm being reasonable with my expectations this year though, since we are using no-till and it can take some years to get the soil to be adequate for planting. Hoping for the best, but also trying to keep my expectations realistic. 💛
Sunshine Farm I am sure they will be a wonderful work in progress!
Okay, y'all are awesome. I too have seen the Roots trellis video. I want to make them too. But I've been wondering just how the heck I was going to get them home. So now I know! Thanks so much!
Awesome!! I'm so glad it was helpful to you!
It’s going to be gorgeous... can’t wait to see it! I put mine on a car hauler trailer lol... my truck has a stupid bed cover and hubby didn’t want to risk a scratch on his 🙄 lol
Thank you!! That's a pretty genius solution! Luckily my father-in-law has a heavy duty truck bed so It was well-suited for this kind of job. Not sure what we would have done without that truck.
I wish they ere cheap here but we are getting inventive!
They definitely can add up really fast! Are they more expensive than $25 in your area?
Sunshine Farm $25! Wow really? I think they are $89 here.
WOWZA!!
@@SunshineFarm oh heck yeah! $75 here
🙉🙈🙉🙈
My Dad would have said, “very carefully” for the answer and tada! video done. lol But your tutorial was way more helpful. It does help if u have a very tough bed liner too , eek!! My visual brain just saw scratches in the trucks paint job as I saw you all load until I saw the liner. I think I would want to rent the big mama truck from Home Depot. But I would also be nervous I would mess up my husband’s small work truck. Oh, and btw, your horse is so beautiful and your mini is so stinking adorable!! We handled mini’s for an event and it was a treat and exhausting as we walked them all over a park all day.
That's a really good point! I have ZERO knowledge on trucks, so I would never have even considered damage to the truck bed. Thank you for bringing this up! & thank you for the complements on our ponies. We certainly love them. 💛
Where in ny are you located
Nice video. Texas prepper 2 uses another method using a pick up truck.
Thanks for watching 😊
I think your method is safer imho
I had mine delivered. ;-)
Lucky duck!! That would be the ideal solution for sure!
From what store. Tractor supply won't deliver to me.
How can i get 20' 8" drainage tiles for cat tunnels in pickup truck?
This is MUCH easier in reverse, we been doing this a long time. We use 2 people and can fit 17 cattle and hog panels. Straps do help but you will need to lay flat in opposite direction when you get home...
Thomas Valley Farms can you explain what you mean? That sounds awesome!
I don't get what you mean by "in reverse"...? Do you mean to put the bend toward the front of the bed instead of the back? Or, maybe you mean to bend them and tie the ends together first, and then slide the bundle into the truck bed? Or something else?
Thanks for asking! I also didn’t understand what was meant by this.
Rachel Campbell yes take the bend toward the cab end.. sooo much easier to load and unload
Sunshine Farm hope this helps, I’ve seen up to $75 delivery fees for these. Not paying that but this way works on any truck bed p
When he said strap them to the top of the vehicle I was totally hand in face omgosh also lolol. Great advice guys!!
I’ve seen a picture of it! I can’t believe people do it. 🙈🙈🙈 I’m glad you found it useful!!
Just came here from MIGardener -- who strapped one to the roof rack of his car. Even he said it was a little sketchy, haha. ^_^
What's the alternative, do they deliver?
They do not deliver in our area unfortunately. I wish!!
@@SunshineFarm Thanks for the response, I was searching after I asked the question and found how one person hauled the panels home on his mini van, gotta have a roof rack however, LINK www.backyardherds.com/threads/transport-16-foot-cattle-hog-panels-with-minivan.34211/
Your intro is waayy too long
Not a whole 30 seconds! Haha no I get it, we changed it. Well we dropped it and then I just made a new one that’s 10 seconds. New to TH-cam! 🤷🏼♀️
Good idea for getting the the panels home. I know you guys think you're cute and all but too much 'you' in the video.
