Amazon Basics Foldable Octagonal Metal Exercise Puppy / Dog Playpen - Indoor/Outdoor, Single Door, Extra Small (8 Panels, 24 x 24), Easy to assemble and store, 24" - Puppy, Black

I have been on a long time hunt for a good affordable tall dog fence panel like this. I RV live but I also have chickens and chicks this year so portable fencing is a big deal in my life. I like to move my Hens around the yard to eat up the grass and weeds, and my area is rural and rife with hawks, coyotes and errant neighbors dogs ect, so I can't let them free roam.While 4feet is not a daunting task to summit for my two flighty adult chickens, it makes a big difference for me to be able to go into the chick kennels I have set up with this product. I am wholeheartedly about socializing with my chicks so that my flock is at ease with me, and they can be handled without too much stress or squabble when needed, and until this recent purchase I have been unable to sit down inside my other shorter kennel setups with this new batch of chicks till now.Already I can tell a different between the socialization levels that I had with my first batch of chicks, where I lived somewhere else and had an enclosed space to sit with them, and my now second batch of chicks, and a small third group of younger chicks. My oldest chicks(my 2nd batch) are well familiar with me and aren't all that skittish of me(black australorp and 2 Speckled Sussex), but they don't initiate contact with me the same way my youngest group now does(2sapphire gems and 1 light Brahma), by jumping on me and on my lap and letting me hold or pet them, like my first batch (my current adults) used to do as chicks. Its a huge plus to have something tall enough for me to go sit in with them on a stool, with a shade cloth draped over top for shade, and have a lil room to spare for head space.This review is for the section without the gate on it, so it only has latches to connect to other panels. For the latches, I only had one that wasn't securing to another fencing panel but i was able to use one of the extra clips that came with the product to keep the panels together. It probably would have been fine without the clip to keep the chicks in, but I'm paranoid about what's outside.The gated fences I bought that go with this product work well if you're able to connect it to another panel of it's own kind, but since the gate is on the the end, and the portion where the gate latches connect is thinner, if it's not braced right it can lead to issues with the latches holding. However there are three gate latches on it, so you have options for keeping it more secure or just opening one latch if you're going in and out. Technically the gate slide locks are only designed to be opened easily from the outside, but if you're nimble fingered it's possible to slide them open from the inside. You do have to lift the handles of the slide locks to be able to slide it side to side, so it wouldn't be the easiest for a critter to fineggal open.In comparison of my other portable dog fence panels, they don't feel any less sturdy than the shorter ones, but their height makes them feel more flexible when extended.Also, none of my shorter fencing panels from who knows what brands, have the latches on the ends of the last panel to attach to another fence, working latches or non-working. I've bought tons of carribiners to hold them together and having to keep track of that is annoying and pricey.I have not used any of the ground stakes yet and I have no issues with keeping them upright. They also come with corner braces to use, which the couple I tried fit well, but I wasn't having any issues on my uneven ground so I haven't needed to use the rest.If this comes back into stock it will surely be an additional purchase or two to add roaming space safely for my growing flock. I certainly hope to phase out my shorter dog fence panels for these taller ones. I know it won't stop my couple of flighty rebels from leaving any uncovered runs when they decide they want to press their luck and leave the safety of the fenceline, but it will still be able to contain the majority with ease and headspace for me!

Perfect to keep the dogs out of the kitchen while cooking, or keeping them blocked off from certain rooms during the day. I use them when I have people coming to work on the house and don't want the dogs to get out. They fold into a playpen but I don't usually use it for that. I have a 15 pound shih Tzu and a 70 pound golden retriever. If my big dog was a jumper he could probably get over this (40 inch height) but he's not, so this keeps him inside just fine! My parents loved it (they use them in their house when they watch my dogs) they ended up buying a second set themselves. They're very long, and look much nicer than the old plastic baby gates they used to use!

I bought the playpen because my dog had TPLO surgery in mid March and needed to be restrained from climbing and jumping, etc. This would help her with the post surgery recovery. The playpen is great serving that purpose. Giving the price, I think this deserves a 5 star, those small parts will not hold the playpen in shape, which does not bother me. My dog hated crate. I thought she would hate the pen too. How wrong was I. She initially resisted from going in. But now, she probably perceives it as her safe spot. She would walk into the playpen at night herself sometimes. And now it's not hard at all to ask her to go in.She is a big dog weighing 80lbs. This is her 11th week post TPLO surgery as this review. She has a good recovery. Buying this playpen right before her surgery is one of the best decisions I made for her.

Some of the corners don’t match up and are higher or lower than the other so the connectors don’t stay in place. I don’t like the bottom of the walk way at the door entrance that sticks up, which you have to walk over. However if it was made for pups that portion should be raised higher. But I fully have pups and wood prefer nothing at the bottom. The door latch is flimsy and takes a while to align to be able lock it, I haven’t been able to accomplished locking it in the dark. I have to mess with it for a while and see what I’m doing for it to line up to lock. Also the door panel is at the very end so would have been nice if it was located as the 2nd or 3rd panel from the end. Also would be great if the connecting latches were removable to be able to move the door panel over to where you want it to be.

Great! For keeping my cat on the patio when I can not watch her. She is an indoor cat, but can go out with supervision, but I do not always have time to supervise, so this lets her enjoy being outside and safe. I bought the tallest one and I can still easily move it around and fold and unfold it to place it in different areas or put it away. It is a bit heavy but very manageable even at my age of 75.

Size is great. I was expecting it to be a little smaller but this is perfect. I have a Yorkie Pup and when it is inside it has more than enough room to play, eat and place 2 large pads for her needs. Hight is also good for its size (she cant scape).I also loved that it is so easy to set it up and store as well.It comes with gadgets to use on the grass or to lock it so it doesn't move.

I got this playpen for my 10-week-old puppy and it’s been exactly what we needed. The setup was super easy — it folds out right from the box, and the panels are sturdy without being too heavy. The door latches securely and gives easy access when we need to step in. It’s a great size for keeping her safe while still giving her room to move around and play with a few toys. We’ve used it both indoors and out, and it’s held up well in both settings. When not in use, it folds up flat and slides right behind a cabinet. For the price, it’s a fantastic option for anyone with a small puppy or even other small pets.
