Dieselamateur's link lead me to
The manufacturer's website. I called, got advice on what to order, spent more than I intended and got the $209 unit.

Petrol blowtorch with separate petrol tank. Thing is that pouring gasoline from a canister is easier and cheaper than filling a balloon with gas.

Deminds me of the old brass and cast iron white gas blow torches My dad used to use to heat stuff with.

Ok you farmer guys I need to attach 7 gauge welded wire panels together. Seems like hog rings would be the easiest. These need to be taken apart and moved every year so doesn't need to be too heavy duty , what am I looking for?

Everbilt 4-5/8 in. Nickel-Plated Double Bolt Snap 42804 - The Home Depot

Snaps are ideal to use with rope, chain, straps, animal leashes and recreational applications. Both ends have the same size opening. The spring loaded latch makes connecting and disconnecting easy.

Or just the single units and fasten two panels together under one clip.
Could cut those in two too and accomplish the same thing.

Maybe 3/16 cable clamps. They'd be easier to take apart and put back together than hog rings.

Depending on how many panels you're talking.

Can they be folded to make 2 panels flat?

pretty much what I've been using already

 

[MrMarty51]

I use just regular old baling wire, mechanics wire to hold some pig panels together that fences in a part of my property.
I’m constantly moving one panel to park trailers and such in the yard. Use the same wire to tie it back into position.

I've no ever had great longevity out of the wires.

I don't know if they make coated ties. I've never seen it any.

I do have the old style twirler twisters

The reason I use wire to tie together the panels I have ?
It is plentyful and it is cheap.

Why not regular zip ties? Even in the sun, they would probably last a year.

I use nylon bailing string to secure temporary panels for cattle because I have an abundance of it. It is very tough and I just use more than necessary in case they start to chew it - safety factor.

The old ironheads would never use the Twisties. They all carried a roll and cut their own.
Much heavier wire involved.

We used plastic zip ties on a couple sections, to hold them upright.
That lasted a while. Not a long while

We actually had good luck with the small stainless tag wire.

We used similar on the tree tubes. Ours had a little thumb button so you could release and reuse them.

We found them hard to sinch down as tight as we would like.
