I'm thinking of building an above ground kennel. I saw this fence wondering about using it between each run(6 run) and outside. You can get 4ft x 200ft for $235.00(at Rural King). Has anyone had any experience with it? Or have any better alternative? Was looking for something heavy gauge maybe coated but most stuff is very high unless you get it at a chain store, because of shipping.

I don’t like above ground kennels, but the Red Brand horse fence is great. I just fenced about a half acre with it to make an exercise yard for my hounds. I can say it’s great to work with. There are videos on YouTube showing how to strip back the wires so you can tie off the ends for stretching.

Another alternative is chain link it comes in 4 5 6 ft. legths if the kennel is 8 ft mine are and the houses are 32 in of that 8 ft making the runs a little over 5 ft. Instead of standing the chain link up turn it so it runs left to rt. Just cut the same wire at both ends and turn it out like a screw to make it the height of the runs a 50 ft roll goes a long way and is cheap enough and plenty strong enough. Hope my explanation of how to use chain link makes sense if not get back to me and maybe i can send a picture of mine. I have a 8 run and a 6 run.The runs are 3 ft wide

Can’t beat the horse panels

I would get the Red Brand 2"x2" page wire fence, same as 2x4 fence, that is what I have used. When and if I redo mine I would like to use the horse panels and plastic like TJ's kennels.

I rewired my kennels a few years back with Red Brand Horse Wire It is holding up pretty good.It is not a forever fix for sure though.My next kennels will be horse panels with durabench floors on a concrete slab.

I think I'll try horse panels. How do you guys transport those? Do you cut them or roll them up? I have a short bed pickup. Do you attach them with wood staples?

 

[Curnel]

I hauled mine on an 18ft car trailer
I attached mine with fencing steeples but someone mentioned on here before about using screws and washers to attach panels that would be the best method to allow changing if needed

 

[TJRANGER]

I used fender washers and self taping screws on mine. As for as hauling I have a 16’ trailer that I used. I don’t think you could haul in a short bed truck.

Horse wire is good I kept some rough bull dogs behind it it last I have some made out of the horse panels now that would hold a bear but they are a lot more expensive.

 

[Curnel]

More expensive but their worth it

You could always take your wire cutters and cut to approx. size needed in the parking lot, than haul them home

I use the 16 ft X 5 ft horse panels....make the height 28 inches so that gives me 32 feet to work with.....the panels run me about $56 at Tractor Supply.

Finished product.....I built 4 just like this
