Here's a link: _http://chainlinkfencefabric.com/1-mini-mesh-chain-link-fabric.html_ (http://chainlinkfencefabric.com/1-mini-mesh-chain-link-fabric.html) I used 9 gauge, 1 inch coated (black) mini-mesh for my property. It comes in a variety of heights (I used 5 and 6 foot). It comes in 25 foot rolls. It IS expensive. I am really anal about fencing. Go look at the fence or have them send you a sample to be SURE it is coated correctly. If you can put fingers through and get scratched your dogs will get hurt. Now...this isn't what I use for pens; for that I use preifert panels. Cabellas used to carry them, not sure if they still do. Tractor Supply carries panels that look similar bit aren't as heavy. _http://www.priefert.com/ProductGroup/kennels-51/priefert-kennels-516/premie r-kennel-kits-237/_ (http://www.priefert.com/ProductGroup/kennels-51/priefert-kennels-516/premier-kennel-kits-237/) They do have the type that have a solid barrier part of the way up, but I opted not to do use those since it really cuts down on air flow. But, I don't use priefert for a baby puppy pen since there is a slight gap at the floor (for cleaning). For that I had the fence company make a 6 x 12 pen to my specifications, to the floor, bound on the outside (no sharp edges) so a little paw couldn't get hurt....like I sad, anal about fencing & pens. I always joked that when I moved here I could have bought a house in town for what I spent on fencing. Today, the same $$$$ would buy two houses. Zinc and steel have gone through the roof, not to mention transporting the rolls of fence. The rolls of mini mesh were delivered on a flat bed 18 wheeler fro, MA to PA.

If you buy the ones at Home Depot or Lowes they are 13 gage and I have had dogs just make big holes in the fence with their teeth. I use commerical companies and do the 9 gage. If there is another way to go I would like to know too! ; ) -----Original Message----- From: Doris E <irrenhaus4@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: msmarchin <msmarchin@xxxxxxxx> Cc: showgsd-l <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu, Jul 14, 2011 1:14 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: kennel fencing msmarchin@xxxxxxxx wrote: Hi listers Im putting up some new kennel runs and thought I would see what ome of you are using.

Sue Marchini =========================================================================== As someone who had a boarding kennel for many years, please do not skimp on he quality of the chain link!!! Also do double wraps at the bottom of he gates, as dogs will try to chew out. The best fencing will prove to e cheap in the long run. It is also helpful if there is a solid ivider between the dogs for about 5 feet, with chain link above. No ence fighting.
