I use aluminum expanded metal that was run through a set of rollers at the factory so it would be flat. No raised edges, no rust. When I used 1"X2" wire I had to replace it every few years due to it rusting out. Dog urine takes a toll on regular fence wire.

I got the black mesh material from a nursery. They use if for sunscreens and it works well. I use it on the west end of my kennel to keep the hot summer afternoon sun out of the runs. It lasts a long time.

I have been using a 1000 gallon septic tank system for my kennels for years. I works great and has never given me any problems. I don't have to shovel dog waste every day. Just spray it down into a concrete trough that leads to the septic tank.

I have used Carhartt, Wicks, and Mule hunting clothes but the best I've used so far is the Briarbuster Bibs and Coats. They are tough and turn the briars. You can't tear them up and they are better priced than the big name brands.
