Priefert just got done replacing 5 of mine. One dog got heg lef through the gate. $150 to sew it up. The handlers have rusted and won't open the gate and dogs jumping at the ends have also broken the welds and got their feet caught. The new ones I just received seem to be much improved. They did back them up also. Ann GrnRam415@xxxxxxx wrote: I also have the Priefert dog runs. I got 5, 10X20 runs a couple years ago. They are awesome. Very sturdy and the dogs cannot damage the wire. They do have privacy panels you can put between the runs to prevent fence fighting but they are a pain to install and the bolts will loosen and fall off with active dogs who slam against them. Looking for a better option on that myself. Mine don't fence fight so no worries about teeth. But, they do leap and bounce off the panels when they play. For flooring, I have stall mats in the back under the misters and pea gravel in the front. I use shavings on that as a potty area to absorb moisture. The Priefert runs are expensive but are powder coated and will last forever. And, you can take them with you if you move. I had mine shipped directly from Priefert. They will give you a discount if you buy enough and ask them and promise to promote them :-) In a message dated 8/9/2006 4:27:51 AM Pacific Standard Time, Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx writes: The best today, IMO are Priefert dog pens (if you have a Cabellas, they have them), or they can ship, and Tractor Supply carries something similar (though not as good IMO). here's the link; _http://www.priefert.com/dynamic/default.php_ (http://www.priefert.com/dynamic/default.php) (Get ready for sticker shock!)
