Metal pipe fence.



You don't see a lot of this around here. This looks like a temporary pen set-up at an event, such as a rodeo. The thin metal tubes might make movable panels weigh less, but I'd be wary of using fence that light for everyday use.

A more conventional, permanent use of metal pipe fencing features sturdier, horizontal tubes, with far less opportunities for a caught hoof or a broken metal bar.

Properly installed, metal pipe fence looks good and is one of the safer types of fence for your horse. Generally it is also an expensive option, which you may notice if you've tried to price a 60' round pen lately with 6' tubular steel panels.
