  Take a rake and distribute a layer of sand or any shredded plastic on the top of gravel. After that, you have to make an assessment of all the materials which you intend to use for your round pen. You can use livestock panels which are very easy to assemble and are moveable. If you want to use wood in your round pen, you will have to acquire some labour force for it.
