Is this pen tall enough for a medium dog?

No. At 23.5 inches, most medium and athletic dogs can jump or climb out. It suits small breeds, puppies and small pets.

Can I connect two pens to make it bigger?

Yes. Extra units link together to form a larger exercise area, which is the usual fix for owners who need more room.

Does it work indoors on hardwood floors?

It sets up fine, but the panels slide on smooth floors. Put it on a rug or mat, or anchor the corners.

Can it be used outdoors on grass?

Yes, the coated steel resists rust, but there are no ground stakes. Peg the panels down or a dog will push the pen around.

What pets fit through the 1.5-inch bar spacing?

Small puppies, toy breeds, kittens and small rabbits can squeeze through. Check your pet's width against the gap before buying.

Eight panels with one door panel and a manual. Stakes, roof and floor are not included.

Our take on the 8-Panel Heavy Duty Dog Playpen

This is a modular steel exercise pen: eight 31.5 x 23.5 inch powder-coated panels that fold flat and join into a rectangle, square, octagon or an open run. Bar spacing is 1.5 inches and the walk-through door measures 12.8 x 16.5 inches, so it fits small to medium pets but not large dogs. It is a budget wire pen, and it shows: panels are light enough to push over, the door latch is basic, and there is no ground stake or roof. Compare it with taller, heavier pens from MidWest or Yaheetech and it trades height and stability for portability and a low bar to entry.
