• Northco Hog Panel Fencing is built
specifically for hog confinement by the
experts in the field. That's why
Northco Panel Fencing hasadvantages
like these:
• UPRIGHT PICKETS—Hogs can’t
climb the upright pickets and the
“open” design of Northco Panel Fenc
ing aids the ventilation system.
• EVERY SECTION SWINGS-The
closure rod can be quickly removed
so every fencing section in the build
ing will act as a gate.
• EASY TO INSTALL—Hinges allow for
some length adjustment to simplify in
stallation. Also Northco Panel Fencing
can be ordered in sizes to fit almost
any hog building including both total
confinement and open front systems.
