What makes BarrierBoss hog wire heavier than big-box panels?
The welded mesh is 6-gauge (4.9 mm) wire — noticeably thicker than the 8–10-gauge panels sold at most home centers. It is dip-coated steel, not powder-coated, so the coating bonds into the welds where rust normally starts.
What colors and mesh sizes are available?
Dip-coated finishes in black, brown, silver, green and Corten, plus marine-grade 316 stainless for coastal builds. Mesh openings come in 2"×2" and 4"×4". Panels are sold framed (ready to mount) or unframed (loose infill for your own frame).
Framed or unframed hog wire — which do I need?
Unframed panels are the lowest-cost infill when you are building your own wood or metal frame. Framed panels arrive in a welded steel frame ready to hang between posts. Both use the same 6-gauge dip-coated mesh and the 40-year steel warranty.
How fast do hog wire panels ship?
We deliver on our own trucks and unload on your property — no freight broker, no depot, no LTL terminal. In our Standard regions (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba) unframed panels travel Loose Truck (C$49, about 2–4 weeks) and framed ones Crane Truck (C$149, about 2–4 weeks); checkout shows which applies, and both are free over C$2,500. In our Extended regions delivery is priced by distance and order total, there is no free tier, and both Loose Truck and Crane Truck run, in about 4–6 weeks. C$500 order minimum. Your estimated delivered date is in the estimate box on this page.
Is hog wire fence good for dogs, livestock or deck railing?
Yes — the rigid 6-gauge welded grid holds its shape against animals and impact without sagging like field fence. The same panels are used for dog runs, garden and livestock enclosures, and in code-height sizes as modern deck-railing infill.
