Our intentions for this was to use this for our Giant Flemish Rabbits who are just babies right now, but have grown real fast and big. I was looking for something that we could put them for them to run and jump outside on the grass.
This MidWest pen with gate was PERFECT, until I realized that "Wow, these rabbits are loving this and we need it bigger!"
No problem there............I also found from this seller the same size but with no gate. AWESOME I though, and I bought that too!

What I love about this pen, is:
1) It folds down to a compact size and can be stored just about anywhere
2) It is very well made
3) You will received clips and stakes to tie down
4) Sturdy and not flimsy at all when fully upright
5) Perfect for our bunnies
6) Super easy to set up

The four pictures that I have included are of the extra pen attached to this pen listed here with the gate. Adding the extra pen without the gate made it huge! I did order another section, to make it even bigger!

I highly recommend this pen. If you get this one, this would be suitable for a smaller dog such as a Yorkie or small Poodle, Schnauzer etc. Getting another section would be great for any larger dog.

The pen was nice but needed some modification to work for me. So to put this in some context this is for a 20lb dog and used it inside.

If the dog jumps on the side this will move around if it's on a floor. If you use it outside and stake it into the ground this shouldn't be an issue. I mounted it on a piece of plywood which solved this issue.

So my dog wasn't use to being in a pen so she wasn't happy to be in this. She jumped on the side a bunch and broke a few of the dog leash style clips. I went to the store and got some zip ties and connected each section using three. They worked a lot better for my use. I can't break it down but I have no plans to do that anytime soon.

There are two bolts that slide over to keep the door closed. The problem is if you shake the door they will slide over and open up. I used two of the dog type clips to put through the bolt handles. This keeps them from popping open.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I got the 3.5 ft tall option and this has worked amazingly for me!
1. FLEXIBILITY: this is lighter than the 42 in crate, which makes transporting it easier. It will bend into different lengths which is great for if i want to section off my dog from certain areas of the house. OR it can be put together like the picture and become a make-shift crate/ containment area.
2. SIZE: I got the recommended 8 panels and it is quite large when opened up and put together like the picture. 50 lb lab/retriever puppy and her full grown mom at 80 lbs fit comfortably in it. Also when mom was still nursing all 9 puppies, she and her puppies could fit in this. About the size of two large crates when folded into a square or rounded out.
3. DURABILITY: I have had this outside (in rain) and inside for about 6 months now. I have not had any problems with rust yet. This is not truly a crate so, yes it is a little less sturdy and secure. However, I also feel that it is important to note that when dealing with dogs at a certain weight and age, if they want out, they will find a way out. The 50 lb puppy is capable of escaping and has, but I believe this issue to be a training issue and not a product issue. Puppy is now 6 months and doesn't try and escape anymore. Overall, this is pretty sturdy and I would definitely recommend to people with puppies.

Crazy bunny mom checking in here! After much deliberation, we decided to expand our bunnies play area for when we are out of the house. She is a bigger bunny but not much of a jumper. If you do have a jumper (of any animal) I'd recommend a little more height. The fencing material is of nice quality and the size/height is just perfect for us. My bunny has room now to romp around and also leaves room for us to put her boxes/toys while we're gone. It does come with small clips but our rabbit is not incredibly mischievous so we typically just leave it against her cage and let her believe she's trapped..which, to our advantage, she does. It should also be noted that while she is only 4-5 pounds, she is a hard flopper. Thankfully, this pen can withstand her brute bunny strength which I think we both appreciate. We "attach" it to her XL dog crate so she has her home still! It's a bit heavy, but that is probably just a personal problem of mine. :)

I love this!!! I put it around my Christmas tree so my dogs can't mess with it!!!!
