I've owned four of these pens since 2008 and still own three; all linked together to provide my lady with all the secured room she needs. I do recommend plastic zip ties to help secure the fencing to the frames but that is a very small inconvenience. In my opinion; if you can get this kennel at the sale price it is regularly offered at...it is an extremely good buy

The kennel itself is of good size to hold our hound unfortunately any dog with a long nose or smart enough can get out within minutes. We purchased this kennel and have since had to repair it 6 times in less than 6 months. We now have barb wire all weaved through the bottom to prevent our dog from pushing up the wire fencing to escape. So all who buy be sure before putting your dog in to take preventative measures to keep the fencing connected at the bottom. The pieces of panel wire separate easily and can cause a large hole quickly in the fencing. A true disappointment for the price ... Other wise it is a great size as we also have a medium dog house and tree inside for protection for our dog. Take the extra minute while hour or two and be sure it is wired well across the bottom frame .. sure saves a dog from being hurt .
