How to install the Round Pen Kit #RP 300

Build your own round Pen in one afternoon !

We have constructed a round pen. We thought the horses would be too intimidated to work but not true. They work wonderfully with it on or off. They just don’t “run into” the fence, or try to escape the work anymore. It has broadened their education, so to speak, by alleviating an escape route, they seem to be more at ease, which really shocked us! Thank you for an extremely well made, affordable product.

The Round Pen comes in Brown, Green or White. It will be 1.5 metres tall and 18 metres diameter. Once you have driven the 20 T Posts (not included), look page 50 to find how to set the StockGuard sleeves and insulators on the Tposts. If you want a tagger or a smaller round, just call us to change the quantities.

-  Drive your t-post with the spade facing the round pen center.
- The tape should be attached to the outside of the posts for better tension-ing.
-  The strands are is installed at one foot intervals
- The round pen is usually 18 metres in diameter.
- At the gate, drive the two gate posts with the spade facing the tension.
- 10 tensioners + 10 block stressers. 5 on each side of the gate.

Working enclosures are typically designed with strands of tape installed at one foot intervals, but more may be added according to personal preference. First a horse is trained to respect the fencing. Later the fence can be switched off, as the increased number of tapes provides a visual barrier that is suffi cient. The horse can then remain relaxed in the enclosure and focus on the handler.
