advice for raising a litter as a single person

where to buy kennel runs
I am looking for kennel run panels to fit a certain spot. I need 2, 5 or 6 foot wide, at least 10 foot long and 6 foot high runs.
TSC has a very expensive one ($550 each) but that seems a bit out of reasonable range.
Any suggestions?
TIA!!
