Chain link usually used for fencing or panels from a home store is 11 1/2
to 12 gauge. I have dogs that unravel it like a sweater, so I needed to
learn all about fence! The welded wire we're referring to is either 7-9 lower
gauge w/ a tight, usually 1 inch mesh (so nothing like an ear or a piece of a
puppy can get pulled through). In fencing, the lower the number, the
stronger the fence. Sounds like the opposite should be true! The panels used
for
runs today is actually much heavier than the old Mason runs........

I am going right now and give a big hug and a kiss to my dogs.... because
they are sooooo good and well behaved (although I did not think so before I
read
Kathy's note- hehehehehehehhe).
In my almost 40 years with GSD, I have never had a dog rip or get out of one
of my Mason Kennel runs - I love them. Early on I did have one dog that
tried to bite anything that stuck through the link openings (an ear or a
chicken
head... well that is another story) but I learned to buy the smaller (one
inch) mesh for that rascal and it never happened again. I still have in use
all the original Mason Kennels panels that I bought when I first started.
Mason is one of the few companies that has maintained its quality through the
years. However, I would love to see Kathy's "prison fencing" <G>
