my wife goes out with towels and a hair dryer after the really big downpours.. amazing how attached we become... for the run I ran 3' tall hardware wire bent into an "L" shape 2 feet tall with a 1 foot flap. I attached it with zip ties to my 6' chain link wall. I also buried the 1' flap a few inches under the dirt and popped sod right back over it. most of the grass stayed growing and you can no longer tell the fence goes under the ground. Many have tried but none got in. the door is a pvc square ziptied to the fence it clopses against a 12 x 2 board buried 6 inches deep and locks with clips from lowes - very cheap but it all looks and works good.
