Yup. They come in 16 foot long sections. I told the guy at my local Tractor Supply that when I was ready to buy, I would come with a hacksaw to cut up the cow panel. He said I have a faster method, bolt cutters. I agreed. He offered to do the cutting for me.
Cow panels are fairly rigid. You won't be rolling them up so you will need to cut them prior to loading them on a truck. For my application as a trellis, four 4 foot lengths would be about right and easiest to get them home.
Either cow panels or the concrete mesh will take some effort wrangling them home. There are advantages to each so spend time in advance deciding which will work best for you.
