Need Info On Siding Material For Cage

I am moving my guys into a dog kennel but there are 4'' long x 2'' wide wire mesh on the kennel so I may have to put some sort of siding along the bottom to keep them from climbing. Can anyone recommend what product I should use and where to access it? I was thinking of a vinyl or aluminum flashing at lowes but am open to any ideas. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also, rather than digging additional meshing into the soil to avoid them digging out the bottom, could I just put down concrete pavers and leave an opening in the middle of the enclosure for them to dig out their hide - or perhaps insert a rubbermaid hide at the center of the pavers?

Ok, the siding question went unanswered. So here's another one that I might have more luck with. Assuming I go with a modular dog kennel such as this one: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tractorsupply.com/pet-containment/pet-kennels-pens/doc-bob-kennel-pro-5-ft-w-x-10-ft-l-x-6-ft-h-3606033" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.tractorsupply.com/pet-contai ... -h-3606033</a><!-- m -->

Can anyone suggest anything for the flooring that will keep the tegus from digging under the side fencing? Making the top shouldn't be much of an issue but I was wondering about some ideas for the bottom.

For the flooring this is how Bobby does his <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.tegutalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1070" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1070</a><!-- l -->. This also shows how he does his sides. If you could build your outdoor enclosure like this instead of the kennel you might save yourself some money. But I would think pretty much and hard solid waterproof panelling would work for the siding.
