I have an 80-page chapter in my book on kennel setups and the advantages/disadvantages on each, where to get the best materials, etc., which obviously I can't include here on a post
However, that said, every type of kenneling system (kennels, pens, chains, cables) has its own assets & liabilities, and therefore involves some kind of trade-off in implementing versus another kind of system. Overwhelmingly, the advantages in most cases go with a
proper chain setup (least expensive, strongest, portable, etc.), which is why 99% of dogmen implement a chain setup.
Cable runs offer the potential for more room on a huge yard, but they're more expensive to implement, take-up more room to implement, and are NOT as secure as a chain-and-axle set up. The pulleys, clamps, etc. on cable runs offer failure points and as such must be observed with great care, lest an accident happen.
