Hinged Lambing Panels Our ewes are penned up with their lambs after lambing using 4’ and 6’ wood
panels. We build the panels with 1”x 4”s so they’re lightweight and portable. We
decided it would be helpful to have several sets of these panels hinged together
so we could create quick, freestanding pens. After trying several combinations;
two 4’ panels hinged together, two 6’ panels hinged together, and a 4’ and 6’
combo panel, we ultimately decided that the 4’ x 6’ combo panel was the most
useful. Supplies for one 6’ panel*: Directions: Lay the 2 vertical supports on the ground 6 feet apart. Lay the 5 horizontal slats - evenly spaced - on the vertical supports and screw them to the vertical supports. Note: slats can be spaced closer together at the bottom to reduce the risk of a lamb escaping. Once two panels are completed tie them together using 3 sets of 3” strapping hinges. Return to
