Assuming you just plan to run outdoors above ground get a 10 AWG cord specified for outdoor use. It will be a stranded conductor rather than solid.

How do you read breaker box amps?
The main breaker will have marking indicating size of electrical service, or if it is a fuse system....the fuses will have current ratings. If it is a subpanel, it might not have a main breaker. In this case you would have to look in the panel that the feed is coming from and find the size of the breaker that is feeding it. In either case you must look for the manufacturer's label that will have the maximum current the panel can handle, make sure the breaker feeding the panel doesn't exceed this rating.
