Good stuff.

Very sturdy and robust.

Just one tip - when you are putting up the run, consider making the posts moveable so you can divide up the run ( in case you have a bitch in heat for example)

Use 2 inch weld mesh instead of chainlink in the run, I had a springer bitch that used to chew through chainlink like it wasn't there. She also figured out how to climb up over the fence by sticking her paws through the links and climbing up the side like it was a ladder. Had to cover the run too, but I just used the chainlink on top.

Had to put her down with cancer last september, what a character. Christ I miss her.....

I used this crowd in Kerry www.brenken.ie (they deliver nationwide - I'm not affiliated in any way)

Went for the welded mesh type about 2 years ago and it is lasting very well and can be added to easily. some other places supply similar panels but brenken came out cheapest incl. delivery at the time. I also ordered some panels from a crowd in Kildare but the finish didn't seem as good but maybe that was just the batch i received.

I had the exact same issue with a springer and chain link. Had to swap it our for the fence panels on fender.ie. They’re a great job.

How do people manage the drainage and hosing down of dog runs?

I have a fall in the run which slopes down to a drain running alongside the run, which runs into the sewer, you would want it.

I pick the ****e up with the ****e shovel, and throw it down the sewer and give it flush down with a half barrel of water every week or so to keep it all moving.

I've used both, the solid chain link panels seem to be the same alright but my order from brenken seemed to have a slightly better finish on the coating (probably luck of the batch). Don't forget to try to haggle a little on price though as there seems to be a little leeway with both.
