    dog kennel or hardware cloth run.

    so I can afford one or the other and I don't know which to pick. I know the hardware cloth would be the safest route, but the dog kennel gives much more room. I can either afford a 6x6x3 hardware cloth run which will run about $80. or I can get a 10x10x6 dog kennel for $200 but I won't be able...
