Lunge/Round Pen - Heras Site Panels....

[luckilotti]

Hi,
so i know lots of people use the Heras Site Panels to make round pens, but, i dont actually know of anyone local to myself who has one like this....
So...
If you do - approx how big is your round pen and how many panels are used? Do you find it's too small/large enough etc?
have the panels been set into the ground or do you just use the normal feet so you can easily move it if needed?

We have chance of sum yet i am really not sure exactly how many to have/use etc.

Thanks in advance!

Here are some pics of ours, it's 20m in diameter, which is perfect IMO, but bigger the better...

Thanks,
how many panels did you use as its really hard to tell from the photos
i've tried to do some calculations etc but when i have googled, i've read of different forums people using between 8 and 18 - all claiming to be a really good size etc....
If we're doing it we want to do it the best we can

Calculate the circumference of your pen in metres and divide the answer by the width of the panel. That will give you how many panels you need. Here is an online calculator to help you work out circumference http://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/geometry-plane/circle.php

Another thing to bear in mind with Heras panels is that they are a bit of a nightmare in wind. The rubber feet they come with are generally not heavy enough so I would consider a sturdier fixing like the photo above.
