My suggestion would be cement under the fence line (like a footing for a building) with fiberglass posts in the concrete. Then use hog panels made of ¼ inch rod that will be attached to the posts in such a way that the cement is a backing for the panels so that the hogs can’t press it out between the posts.

Personally, I have used woven wire with an electric wire about 8” off the ground on the inside. Pigs are curious, so will walk up and “sniff” the wire and get jolted. The only problem is that they will also root piles of dirt up on the wire and short it out so you need a backup like the woven wire.

Pigs and hog manure will destroy everything economically feasible for pens (even steel and concrete) given enough time. Good luck.
