I buy mine from Tractor Supply Co. I'm not familiar with metro Atlanta, but it looks like they have a bunch of stores in Georgia. They have a store locator online at http://www.tractorsupply.com/.

Wouldn't know where there in Atlanta but you may want to visit the closest feed store or use the computer and search for agriculture supplies locally.

I went to buy cattle panels last year, but they were too long and I was too cheap to buy the tool needed to cut them. Instead I ended up with CRW which worked well too.

Thanks Its easy for me to get CRW. I see from the picture that its about the same openings with cattle panels being stronger and most likely harder to move. anyone have experience with both that would give me some advice. Thanks Bill

We use cattle panels in the veg. garden. Have for years. We use 4 "T" posts per panel. Wired the panles to the posts with baler wire. Some years we have to replace the wire but not often. Got some pictures of them but don't know how to post pictures. Can send them email if I knew what your addy is.

Cattle panels and CRW work equally well. The panels may be a little taller which I like. As previously mentioned, Tractor Supply usually has a good variety of sizes at reasonable prices. I've also found that if you check Craigs List or other local postings in the newspaper, they can be found for about 1/2 the cost at local welding shops. They seem to be a good product for welders to manufacture in their down time and earn some spare change when the welding business is slow. One nice thing about the panels is the fact that they are built with hinge joints on each end. If you position two panels at ninty degree angles and drop a pin through the matching hinges, they become free standing and don't require T posts or anything else to hold them upright.
