Hi Everyone. Just wanted to show you the dog pen I eventually made. He will never escape. This image is before I put the door on and the mesh roof. Just got to cover the mesh floor now for comfort. Dirt? Thanks for all your ideas!!!! Really a huge help with ideas Jo

Cheers Persephone I priced some 5 mm mesh today. 3000 mm x 2400 mm. 50 x 75 mm. Can't get 50 x 100 mm in Australia so it seems. I don't want him to get his jaw stuck if he does have a good go at it. tdierikx, thanks, That sounds good. I am an old woman too!! haha. I do my own welding but not keen to weld galvanised, so I'll think about your wood! I have an Amstaff breeder phoning me tomorrow with advice too. Feeling more confident to make something solid, thanks everyone!!!!

Thanks animallover99. I have emailed them for some info. Be great if the 3mm is strong enough.

Thanks Persephone How do you join the sheets please? Do you weld or wire onto steel tubing? I guess it is galvanised. I can find a pen and copy that, but just wondering how you do it.

Hello - I am a new member. I have an adorable 2.5 year old Amstaff and I need to build him a strong, safe and escape-proof outdoor run, for times when I am away from home. I'm in a rural area so I have to be absolutely sure he can't escape. Currently, I put him in boarding or take him to my mother's house when I go out, but it's not a great long term solution. Would anyone have any ideas, plans or images of dog runs that are suitable that they are willing to share? Thinking dimensions of about 4 m x 4 m, or thereabouts, possibly bigger? He'll be right beside my other dogs so won't get lonely. The others are in wooden/wire runs but Kotz would escape those very quickly. I've uploaded an image of him Love him to bits!!
