Which pen has the most room for the dog; the (1) Petmate 8-Panel Wire Dog Exercise Pen with Door, Black, Large (2) Frisco Dog & Small Pet Wire Exercise Pen with Step-Through Door, Black, 42-in


It shows in the design layout that it can open up to 16'. How does it open up to be able to use it as a fence ?

Answer by ChewyJun 05, 2019
To make this playpen into a fence, simply un-clip the hinge clips and release the panels from one another.

Will the metal rust if left outdoors?

Answer by ChewyMay 30, 2018
This play pen will eventually show wear and tear over prolonged use outdoors due to rain, snow, etc.

What do u put under exercise pen

Answer by ChewyApr 18, 2019
In some situations, there is not a need to put anything under the pen, such as when using it outside. Some customer's may prefer to lay a potty pad inside the pen when it is used inside.

Needed a pen to keep our shepherd-collie mix dog confined while he recovers from his knee surgery. This has worked well as long as we remember to use the clips on both top and bottom of the enclosure. Eight panels makes it easy to fit into different spaces around the house, as well as fold up to move around.

I like the ease of set up. I thought it was a little flimsy and I don't like how the gate operates. I think it would be fine in a different situation, but for my use, it isn't sturdy enough. It was also set up outdoors for two days and had rust already forming in places. I put my dog's in it, while we were at a dog sporting event and one of my dog grabbed the panels and bent the metal. I like the MidWest brand better, but it wasn't available in the size I wanted. I will probably get a different exercise pen.

I was thrilled to receive this heavy-weight, well- constructed X-pen. Extreme quality and strength.

I bought this to keep my Border Collie puppy out of a planter. It's a bit flimsy for keeping her inside. She is 35 lbs of determination! It would be fine for keeping a smaller, lighter dog. But it's kept her out so far so I am pleased I bought it.

Flimsy

It's ok for light small animal, but for our dog even staked to the ground the wire bends easily when he leans against it and that makes it easy for the gate to pop

It's ok for light small animal, but for our dog even staked to the ground the wire bends easily when he leans against it and that makes it easy for the gate to pop open because the warped wire.

Very lightweight

I purchased this on deep sale, so I’m keeping it, but this pen is extremely lightweight. I’m using it for an under 4lb bunny. It is not strong enough to contain

I purchased this on deep sale, so I’m keeping it, but this pen is extremely lightweight. I’m using it for an under 4lb bunny. It is not strong enough to contain a dog.

Flimsy

Extremely light weight, which was nice, except that they are not very stable. The tent style stakes helped a little, but not sufficiently. Even with 8 week old

Extremely light weight, which was nice, except that they are not very stable. The tent style stakes helped a little, but not sufficiently. Even with 8 week old pups they were being moved around easily. Bent within the first week.

Don't care for the one way folding.

Would have probably sent it back had I realized it was a one way folding. Prefer the option to fold in either direction. Was crunched for time, or I would have
