Ideas on kennels

Since we are on the topic of kennels. Do any of yaw know where a person can get the gauged wire they use to build the 10x10 round tube kennels? I think the wire is 9ga, but not sure. I was thinking of getting a couple rolls of hi tension 9ga wire, get some 1 1/2" sq tubing and weld the tubing up in 10x6 panels and drill holes in the tubing, tacking the wire end to the top, pulling the wire thight and tack the wire to the bottom tubing and repeat the steps for the lateral strands but weaving those strand between the vertical strands. I know it's a LOT of work, but doing it that way will allow for custom size builds since the hog and cattle panels only come in 4' or 5' tall sizes. I would rather use the wire used to build the hog/cattle/utility panels, but I can't seem to find that size wire in rolls for retail sale. Any of yaw got any insight or contacts as where a person could get panel wire by the rolls? What's yaws though on building ea panel basicly by hand?
