Frisco XX-Large Heavy Duty Single Door Wire Dog Crate, 54 inch

I bought the cage for my German shepherd since I felt it getting colder outside (before the Texas snowstorm hit) hoping it would come on time but sadly the storm beat every deliver service. Luckily we had a cage for our little dog that we put our German in but she could barely sleep in it during the night, not being able to fully spend out easily. When this cage came I assembled it in my room, using walls, my bed and dresser to hold it together as I assembled each piece, I wanted to let my parents rest but every piece makes a thunderstorm of noise. I wanted it ready case any bad weather were to happen again I can put my larger dog in it but once I was done my shitzu had claimed it as her bedroom I bought the cage for my German shepherd since I felt it getting colder outside (before the Texas snowstorm hit) hoping it would come on time but sadly the storm beat every deliver service.

Considering she has never in her life wanted to enter her other cage at her own free will I say this cage is a definite win. … more

The promo photos don't do this crate justice. The customer submitted photos, even the ones I'm posting, doesn't show you exactly how large this thing is. I got two because I run a dog care business and needed easily accessible, safe areas that I could rotate dogs through and especially for safe keeping overnight for those that like to wander or get nervous. I'm hoping to open an actual facility soon, so I didn't want to construct something permanent in my house or in my backyard. I always felt guilty at the thought of 'caging' a dog for any amount of time, so that's why I chose the largest one I could find and these are so huge and spacious (and TALL) that even my largest of dogs have plenty The promo photos don't do this crate justice.

When my German Shepherd and Husky friends lay down, they actually look so small in it, it feels like an optical illusion! I tried it out myself and thought it was roomy! Lol Fair warning, you will need to clear an entire corner of the room in order to fit this. I keep one outside permanently and put one inside only when needed. And you will need to build it IN the room you'll be using it in unless you have wider than normal door frames. Assembly was pretty easy to catch on to. Says you need two people to put it together but I managed doing it myself after some figuring out how to strategically place pieces so I could grab them while holding the frame together. Once the first two sides are up,it's pretty much a breeze. It's not the strongest kennel in the world, doesn't necessarily 'fit like a glove' but for the sheer size and the fairly easy assembly/disassembly, you absolutely will get your money's worth. … more

I was pretty nervous to receive this item because of the mixed reviews. For the most part, it turned out fine. My only issue is that one corner wouldn’t line up, so the entire thing is shifted slightly and the floor liner doesn’t lay flat because of this. But I’m not a perfectionist, and my pup doesn’t understand how spoiled he is, so this is fine. It’s still perfectly functional. It took me about 1.5 hours to put together. 15 minutes of that was me trying to get the pieces out of the box. I’d recommend following the recommendation on the box, and having someone else help you put this together. It’d be a lot faster.

FYI, this crate is VERY tall, Our sweet bloodhound puppy - and she is still a puppy at 8 months, ~so she will be growing ~ (70 lbs+/- now) can stand, walk, and sit and lie down and completely stretch out soo comfortably until she can be trusted to roam freely indoors w/o supervision.

Material looks well built and coated to prevent rust. Very heavy in box had to carry in sections to desired location. Assembly of the cage is easy but you need an open floor area to do it. It has 3 latches which I personally would alter that design a bit. But I am using it as a whelp pen for my gsp. So it’s a perfect size even with a heat lamp in it. I could probably fit 3- 4 60lb gsps in one crate to give an idea of the size. Very happy with my purchase.

The cage itself is nice and was fairly easy to get together. The reason for 3 stars is all the damage it had when it arrived to our house. I spent more time straightening out the pieces than I actually did putting it all together. If not for the damage it would’ve been an easy 5 star item.

Work gloves are needed to protect your hands from the metal. From the time I started unpacking the pieces from the box, 3 fingers were sliced open. Really horrible experience and totally unexpected. I have had other wire crates that I folded closed and moved to other rooms, set up, and never had this happen. So just a heads up so this doesn’t happen to someone else.

I love this cage it's amazing and massive perfect for my great dane however it is very difficult to figure out how to put together my husband and I did have to watch a video. But once together it is amazing and I will be ordering another for my other dane.

The crate is wonderful and just what I need for my puppy but was disappointed when I seen the package was damaged and the tray that goes in the bottom of the crate was broken on a corner. Overall I am happy with the crate. I ordered a mattress to go in the bottom of the crate so it covers the broken corner thankfully.

The size is perfect for a Rottweiler, however I hate that it doesn't fold down easily. If this were the collapsible type it'd be perfect. It was a pain to put together and due to it's giant size it isn't reasonable to store it in that position.
