I don't know. Ask the fence company.

Is there a quality grade of chain link for animals ? I have seen
animals at the zoo behind chain link and not ehard of escapes.
Last year I purchased one of those 10 x 10 x 6 ft high ready made dog
pens. It took my German Shepherd about a hour to rip a hole in the
door.
I know have two German Shepherds and would like to to build a long
run. Is there a better heavier grade, like something made for lions ?
Most home installations use a light gague wire, #12 or 13. You really
want heavier, like 9. You also want a tension wire at the bottom or
even better a bar across the bottom.
