4x8 is plenty , if you hunt your dogs a lot , Mine are 4x10 I have 6 runs and can take the middle out when I am down on dogs , then 8x10 , if your putting up against a building or ur boxes are on the outside of the pens , They will be fine

They are going to be attached to a building with houses inside building my dogs get hunts 4-6 days a week year round. When my hounds are in there kennels all there doing is resting anyway.. I'm not looking for opinion on size of kennel I'm looking for brands of kennels and what everybody prefers.

Oh I understand your question , There is plenty to choose from , you can buy from you local farm store but the pipe is usually to thin and starts to rust out in a few years , what I would suggest is find a local Fence company and get some prices for custom made with heavy pipe and a 2 " mesh , and they can build your front in 2 sections 5 gates each , if you was a lot closer I would give you a price , and tell them you want a commercial grade pipe on all the bottom rails

Darrell is correct. With a little planning you can make your own panels that last many years. I put up regular fence post and spaced them so I could put those heavy duty panels in between them without cutting. (I wanted less work and waste) These panels are commonly called HOG PANELS but they are made in different sizes and called also horse and dog panels. Dog are the most expensive because the squares are 2x6 while the horse are like 6x6. You can attach the panels to the fence post just like you would regular fencing with the slip over the post bolt together hangers. Actually put up a to rail and hang the panels and put a bottom rail about 3" of the ground and attach.

One note: If you are using chain link fencing I recommend nothing but the heavier gauge. Some dogs chew apart the light gauge fencing like it is straw. I would build it to last and a little planning goes a long ways.
