Do you want a small pen or a much larger dog run?

If you intend to have the dog in the run most of the time... you will need to address climbing out (a wire or solid top) or digging out (wire buried under the grass or dirt surface... or a floor) issues as well as a place the dog can get out of the rain or snow or out of the sun.

I had a large area so wanted to do it as inexpensively as possible. I used cedar posts and wire fencing. The wire fencing is sold in rolls and i chose the rectangular shape openings rather than the small square holes. easier to work with and especially to cut. They make a type of nail that is a U shape with points on both ends....worked great! This type of fencing was also easier to fold under in to the pen and secure in case of digging. good luck!
