- As an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases. If you don't have a 16-foot trailer, and you need to haul some cattle panels, you may think you have a dilemma. Not true. Here, I show you how to load a cattle panel in a short bed pickup truck.
This method does NOT bend the cattle panel or distort it at all.
It's so easy that anyone should be able to do it.

Your videos are seriously useful. I mean, this is something I would not have thought of in buying cattle panels.
So good! This worked like a charm! I went to Tractor Supply yesterday to pickup 3 panels. You should have seen the look on the faces of the young guys that came to help me. Their jaws dropped to the floor! LOL They had just been on the ground tying a few panels together all contorted and struggling. I had explained to them how I was going to load the panel - afterward one of them confessed that he wasn't sure it was going to work, but that he was surprised to see how easy it was. Thank you!
(P.S. - I ran two ratchet straps weaved horizontally across the base to ensure it stayed it in the bed.)
Great... you got it done... AND you taught the employee how to do it for the NEXT guy (he'll probably swear it was his own idea) 😀
Glad I could help.
Check out my new video on using cattle panels for "Grow Arches":

Thank you. Picked mine up today and did just like you said. Easy, peasy.
Glad it helped
I tried to convince my husband to do that but put it on the side. Thank you. Can't wait to share with hubby.
Love this very simple I sent it to several newby small ranchers. God Bless you God Bless TEXAS and America
Awesome! Thank you!
Love it brother you are one smart dude. Love your videos.
Used to load it like that until we found you can do the same thing if you just put them on their side...that way you don't have that springy thing moving about as you go down the highway and don't have to strap them in. Works like a charm, try it!
I've seen some on their side. It seemed to me that they were bent a LOT.
Yes, they can be straightened out, but I don't know... this seemed better to me.
Also, even if I put one in laying on their side I would put a strap or 2 on it.
You never know if you'll hit a bump or have a little fender bumper that might kick it in the air. It's 'springy' even in that position.
Nah, they don't get too bent. We have a 5 ft bed and can bend 2-3 in there on their sides and shut the tail gate, drive 20 mi. and they still come out looking like they should. One bungee across the top will keep them from bouncing out.
Thank you for this great information. Good video
So helpful. I was wondering how I was going to get this panel home. So glad I found you! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Nice way to do it!
One of the best videos I've ever watched. Headed to UHaul this weekend. Thanks!
So glad it was helpful! 👍😎
great video. im a new truck owner, learning ways to take advantage of my shortbed before I take the plunge for a trailer.
Glad to help
Thanks for sharing -- been wondering how to do this.
Are you kidding me? Are you???? I was ready to abandon the idea of using cattle panels for my new greenhouse and I was not happy about it.
This video made my day!!!!! I will rent a truck from Home Depot and get it done. PERIOD!!!!
THANKS A MILLION, REALLY!!!!!!
Glad to help !
This was a great video. Well done. Thank you!
Well, thank you! :)
Thank you..great way to do it. I have a pickup but no trailer, and the wife wants a green house similar in size to the one that you have a video on
Holy moly!! Never thought of that😊😊😊 ON MY WAY TO TRACTOR SUPPLY❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Glad I could help !
Thanks brother. Going to do that tomorrow. God Bless
Great... glad to help :)
Damn it's nice to see a Ram w/o rust, beautiful....if you ever feel its passed its prime, just search for trucks in MN. This is definitely the reason I grab my trucks&cars in TX or CA.
Might be selling it soon... come on down :)
Wow, that was useful -- I would have never come up with that by myself.
Thank you for this demo. I saw another video before finding yours. The guy did it upside down. He laid it in and had someone else bend the end to him which he hooked to a bungee. He said it took 2 people & 3 people would be better. I am just one people.
Yes... ONE is Mo Betta !
:)
Thanks! I would ha e gotten to tractor supply and been stumped as to how the blazes to get that thing in the truck.
Just teasing Love the channel
That's way better than the way the guy at TSC put it in our truck. We couldn't shut the tailgate. We use ratchet straps so it wouldn't bounce as much as with bungees so that fixes some of the wiggle. Thanks!
You bet!
Brilliant. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Stick around... There's a lot of brilliance here 😎
Thank you.
Thank you very much for the video.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome!
Thanks, glad to help!
Thank you so much! I ordered two online from Tractor Supply this morning, to be picked up curbside. My husband was irritated at me, saying we couldn’t get them home in his Tacoma, since we don’t have a trailer. I told him there has to be some way to do it, since they will be flexing into a hoop in my garden. Thank you, thank you for your video!!
Glad I could help!
This is ingenious! Thanks
Glad you like it!
@@BIGALTX I’ve been wanting to get a few for trellising and now I have a way. Thanks again.
@@unpatonot1
Good for you. Glad I could help!
WOO HOO! THANK YOU!! Now i can go pick ours up from Tractor Supply so my wife can get off my behind!! lol
Have fun!
You should be able to do 3 or 4 pretty easily.
But be aware, the more you have, the more "spring" there will be in them when you're trying to take them out. Be safe.
Thank you...!!!!
Glad to help!

Thanks. I've been wanting to get some panels ever since you showed how useful they are for vines, but I didn't have a truck til this year.
I think you said before you got yours from tractor supply?
Usually at TSC, but there are several lumber stores and Hdw stores around here that sell them too.
Hey! A while back on your last video about your yard long beans you encouraged me to go ahead and plant some this year even though it was late. Just had our first mess of them last night! So happy I followed your advice. :) I've got your greenhouse plans and intend to build one this fall. Now if I only had a pickup truck. :/

That's GREAT... Glad I could help!
I was a manager at Tractor Supply for many years. I have loaded cattle panels and have seen them loaded in many many different ways. A guy showed me this trick (maybe you since we are both in Texas 😉) and I was so amazed lol. The best part is, is there is no permanent bend!
Absolutely THE best way.
What city did you work at TSC?
I had to haul 9 cattle panels and they were 4 gauge so would be very hard to bend. So, I laid two boards in the back measuring 2x14x14 feet long on the floor of the pickup. These supported the panels when going down the highway. They were also tied down with a 2 inch ratchet from tie downs in the bed. A large red flag was also secured to the rear of the cattle panels.
That will work... but I'm glad a cop didn't see you. I think you were out of "code".
Around here, I think a load can only stick out 4 feet from the tailgate.
"Youd be in trouble" lol, I can only imagine.
That's great - FOR ONE PANEL. I'm going to buy 5 tomorrow and I don't think it's going to be that easy. But thanks.
You can do 2 or 3 pretty easy, but 5 might take a little help.
Those things are VERY springy when you bend them
All I have is a cargo van. I wonder if a cattle panel would go in there and if I could pull it back out when I get home.
I saw someone put it in a suburban, but not sure about a cargo van.
Even if they WILL fit in the cargo van, I'm sure it would scratch the inside a lot.
I load mine bent in a u but not high, set them short side down in bed and then in a u shape from side to side, then it only sticks up the 50 inches and does not sway as much. I them run a ratchet strap from bed side wall to side wall thru the panel at bed height. then they are completely stable, no sway at all.
how many panels are you able to do with this method?
I do 2 16 foot boards 2-6 flat on the bed of the truck and lay the panels down I can usually get 12 to 15 without enough flex
Isn't it illegal to have them sticking that far out from the tailgate?
I think it TX it's 4' over the tailgate.
If you have four would you be able to bend all four at a time? Could you just lay them flat, pushed all the way forward and then fold them one at a time from the back to the front of bed and secure? Leaving the tailgate down?
I would think you could do 4... BUT... I would have HELP doing it... not just one person.
The spring-back of the panels would be pretty strong.
Also, make sure you have help UNLOADING them.... those things are going to want to spring back HARD.
Well, it is a good thing Coastal Farm and Ranch was closing yesterday, because I cannot imagine my daughter and myself (with her 9 month old twin girls in tow) to be able to load cattle panels onto her truck. Maybe they would do it for us. I wonder if sugar pumpkins are too heavy to grow on a cattle panel?
Might need to make a "hammock" out of something like pantyhose, to help hold up the the pumpkins.
Hey you could make a greenhouse with that..... :)
GREAT IDEA !
:)
There are RUclips videos showing how to do that
You can do multiples alone with a rachet strap to hold them for you while you close the tailgate
True... good idea!
You'd think these places would offer delivery ... Thanks for the video!
You bet!
would like to see how you do more then one panel.
Same process for multiple panels
You might need a couple of people, though to load and unload.
I think you could do 2 or 3 panels, but they will be a lot more "springy" if you do more than one, so be careful when you start to take them out.
This method is only good for a couple and it requires a lot of strapping down to be safe, a better way is to stand up on short length then grab both ends and bring together and lift cattle panel in the truck bed. . You can fit 8 to 12 into a 6 or 8 ft bed. 6 ft bed requires one strap at the rear of the tailgate. 8 ft bed the tailgate can be closed. Video:; Channel Matt & Sara; Video How to load cattle panels in truck.
You could do several using this method, but would have to be careful of the spring back.
Doing it the way you say will work, but I think it would scratch the crap out of the bed and tailgate while sliding it in.
Just zip tie the ends together if you do more than one wrap the second one around and zip tied the end of that one so on and so on I carryed 4 and then standing upright and you won’t get the swing on the top
Sounds like a plan 👍
you can roll them
"Run ya" Great accent.
What accent :)
how many could you load and carry at one time?
Not sure.
I would think 3 or 4 but you'll need to have someone help bend them.
They would have a lot of "spring" to them.
what about the other 15 panels?
I guess you'll have to make several trips, if you can't find a 16' trailer
cut a piece of wood the same width as the truck bed and place it at the rear of the bed and let the wood hold the panel or panels in the truck while you close the tailgate.
Great idea... thanks!
Show how to load into subaru forester plz ty
I doubt it's possible to get one into a Forester.
Try to find someone with a truck... Tell him you'll pay for his gas :)
@@BIGALTX does yours forester panoramic moonroof.. Mine has forester panoramic moonroof
I do not own a Forester, so I can't help you.
@@BIGALTX Outback is best it true but it's cost much more for me. It's much bigger inside smart choice my friend. Ty
Has anyone tried this while transporting these panels on a highway at 60 mph? I have a Toyota Tacoma pickup truck, so I have the transportation. But the nearest agriculture supply store is 28 miles from me. Of course, I would tie my panels down very well.
The wind just whizzes right through them.
There's almost no drag at all.
Shouldn't be a problem... but I would make sure they are tied down well.
@@BIGALTX Thank you!
Instant arbor. ;-)
Absolutely. Here's what I do with them.

How bout 4? Do I hear 4 panels? 😂 Imma try it and report back 💪😉
Careful... They will have a lot of spring-back :)

Did you try 4 panels?
Hell. use it for a tent..
Yep. I've used this for livestock sheds and storage.

I thought the only color for a pickup in Texas was white?
Naw... shoot, we drive 'em in all colors.
:)
What if you need 8 8 trips
You can probably do 3 or 4 at a time, but be aware that the "spring back" will be pretty strong. Might take 2 people to load and unload.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Nah, you can carry only one at a time like that. Lay 'em on their side and you can nest several of them together.
I am not sure how many I can carry in this manner, but I know I can carry more than one.… Probably two or three.
Only one ?
I can do 2... maybe 3 without help.
It's a little hard to whip more than one of them up in the air (to bend them in the back of the truck).
How about 40 of them?
Use a 16 foot flatbed trailer!!
hahaha
@@BIGALTX 😂
I saw another video where the guy was curling them around in the bed and tieing the ends together. That didn't make any sense. Way to much work. Just do it the way you showed and be done with it. The way you showd is how folks load them around here. Amazing how something so simple and we don't think twice about can be helpful to others.
Thanks, I've seen that too.
To me, it puts a hard "bend" in the panels.
This way, there's really no bend. They come out pretty straight.
Its the tie down inhave problems with...only knot i know is to tie my shoes.mmand that not too successful..lmfao....it's true
Hahaha.. I'm not too good with knots either
