Frisco Wire Dog Exercise Pen with Step-Through Door

I've had dogs my whole life. Incurred all of the mischief and messes along with them. This pen is a freaking god-send. We adopted a very, very mischievous Golden Retriever puppy and on a whim, purchased this pen. Little did I know that our 15.5 year old pug would come down with a pretty bad stomach bug right after we got the puppy. The sweet old boy stayed a few days in the pen with lots of cozy bedding until his stomach calmed down. Saved my carpet and sanity. This stomach bug also meant that our 3 dogs were going to be on 3 different foods- the pen allowed me to feed them separately and avoid any sharing that would upset stomachs further. I also had no clue how insane this puppy was going to I've had dogs my whole life. Incurred all of the mischief and messes along with them. This pen is a freaking god-send.

Seriously- if you have dogs, or really any animals, having this thing will be a huge life saver. It also was incredibly easy to set up and will collapse down for storage between uses. And is sturdy enough to withstand the Golden's rolly-pollie antics. … more

I purchased this Pen to have a secure area for my Havanese puppy to go potty. After a few weeks I realized he needed an area a bit bigger so I purchased another and put them together. I also moved the Pen to the bottom of the stairs on our back deck so the puppy could go up and down on his own. This worked great. He understands that is where he goes potty and plays. HINT: be sure to clean up after your dog each and every time they poop and they will like going into the Pen because they like their space clean!

I recently got an 8 week Bernedoodle and have his training and play time in here while we’re potty training. This is a must have for new puppy owners. It helps control their environment and keeps them safe when you have to go do stuff around the house. I have the play pen connected to his crate. At first I couldn’t quite figure out the covers for the octagon shape but it’s holding up right now. Hoping to transition out of the pen when he’s older but as of now I think this pen was a good call. (It is a bit big though and takes over the living room, but it’s worth it)

So glad I chose this pen for it’s height. We use it to exercise our bunny and he has managed to climb over it when we left him for an extended period of time without supervision. I can’t imagine if it had been shorter. He would have easily jumped out. I was also impressed by the extra “s” shaped latch for the gate. Bunnies are clever, so that’s a nice added feature. It is easy to set up, move around, and break down to store. It comes with stabilizers and stakes. I highly recommend this pen.

We actually set up a little fenced in area in one of our unused tiled rooms. We used the tall fence, ordered two boxes, and our puppy does not panic-chew (but does jump his paws up on the fence sometimes), and it worked nicely. As we did not stick the fence into dirt, it was a little wobbly on our tile when we set it up, but it has held up strong against many excited jumps our pup has done against it. If it starts to seem TOO wobbly, we plan to place bricks in strategic places to hold it in place, but so far no issues. I would imagine this being perfect for outside.

We bought this pen for our new Samoyed puppy as a place to stay while we’re distracted around the house. Unfortunately, it is useless on hardwood, as our 10lb puppy easily scoots it around the room its in and scratches up the floor as he reconfigures it. He’s also been able to easily climb it, which wouldn’t be an issue if it had a cover. I’m sure it would be sturdier outside, but it doesn’t work indoors at all.

I bought 2 of these exercise pens for my rabbit. One for home and one for outside and travel. They are portable and easy to set up quickly. My only complaint is that the two latches on the door are independent of each other so you have to bend down to latch the bottom lock. Not a deal breaker but a small inconvenience.

We bought two of these and put them together for a play area for our new puppy. We did use extra stakes around the outside to give me more stability and it works great. The only thing I wish is that the gates were not at the very end as we had to take it apart and move the gate so it would be where we wanted it. Wasn't difficult to do just took a little time.

This exercise pen is SO well made. The metal is heavy and durable. The design lets you use the pen as a straight fence or an enclosed shape. We unhooked the panel next to the step-through door and that allowed us to use the product as a barrier fence and we can adjust it to whatever size doorway we need to barricade our 8 week old Labrador from entering. The price is outstanding!! So reasonable and great quality.

Really happy I got this pen for my 2-mo-old pup. Only issue we've found is difficulty to travel with it. Maybe it needs to be a lighter material or more compactable? We snapped the handles that came with the crate to help carry it easier. Also, they give you these small hooks to close the two ends together, but it's been 1 weeks and already 2/4 broke (while traveling, not bc of the dog).
