BestPet Heavy Duty Pet Playpen Dog Exercise Pen Cat Fence B, 40-Inch, Black

I just bought a new house that doesn't have a fence, and I have five small dogs who live inside but do their "business" outside. I chose this product because of the customer reviews on Amazon. I purchased two of these pens and hooked them together (16 panels) and then placed them in a semi-circle around my backdoor. Instant fence! It's been almost 2 months with no problems at all. We've had some really severe storms, and the pen hasn't budged. Plus, the door is great, because I can get in and out if need be. The quality is great (no rust yet at all, even though our weather is crappy), the price was reasonable. Shipping was really expensive (about $33 each) because they are so heavy, but it was worth it. Plus, the cost of the pen plus shipping was a little less than similar products in local stores. The two pens together, plus shipping costs, totaled about $200.00. Fencing was going to be about $2500.00. So this was a good choice for a quick fix. And the seller shipped on time as promised. Also, I'm a 53 year old woman (with arthritis) and I was able to unpackage and set this up by myself. All in all, I'm very happy, and I've recommended these to several friends and family members who don't have fences but want their dogs to be able to go outside.

We bought this to use on camping trips with our 90lb Chessie and our 30lb Pit Bull / Heeler. We used it for the first time this last weekend...Memorial Day Weekend. Let me tell you, with 7 dogs in our camp and our two on their first camping trip (their first trip anywhere, ever) this thing was a God send. We let our Chessie run free a bit, our little one is still too young. We also kept them on handheld leashes and staked cables...all for brief periods of time before the other dogs acted up or ours needed a little break. This yard allowed our pups to stay outside for 90% of the time. They only went inside the trailer for brief periods to nap during the day. A GREAT WAY TO KEEP YOUR PUPS SAFE AND INVOLVED WITH THE FAMILY IN THE CAMP. NO ROAMING BETWEEN WALKS. My husband was skeptical at first and thought we really didn't need it. He changed his mind as soon as we stopped to set up camp!This fence is very easy to set up. Be careful moving the fence...take care to not move it while fully constructed, as it will bend the lock pins (Hubby had to straighten two I bent, but it was easy). Just remove one panel and "snake walk" the rest of the fence to the new location, if it is close, and you don't want to take the whole thing apart. However, it is a quick and easy set up. Very sturdy, too!We had a lot of interest from other campers in the area! They thought it was a great idea. SO SO GLAD we bought this fence!

Loved Loved this pet fence. Light weight panels yet sturdy when assembled; and quick set-up. Went Camping at a KOA campground in our 5th Wheel purchased so we can take our two dogs with us we were the envy of the campground. People where walking their dogs asking where we bought the fencing at. I set up 4 sets of fencing surrounding our 5th wheel so we can all be together in the fenced area with our dogs. I am a 54 yr old woman 5.0 tall I assembled and disassembled by myself with very little effort. Only one issue the gate is very narrow to walk thru my granddaughter and myself went in and out fine but my husband that is 5.10 around 280 pounds couldn’t get through the gate; he just lifted a pin that connected the panels together to get in and out basically made his own door he said he didn’t mind it was an easy process for him still to get in and out of the fence. I would highly recommend this fence.

I rarely write comments, but I felt prompted to do this one.First – the positives:1. It is well constructed2. It is sturdy3. It is very easy to assemble4. It arrived on time5. It looks like something that would last6. It seems to be stable on the floor, given proper shaping7. Being that it comes in segments, it can be handled by one person to assemble or disassemble (or after one or the other – move)Now the negatives:1. The gate:!!!!!a. It is only 12” wide, and if the owner of the dog is a big person – there would be no way to get in or out of the pen (which you’d need to do to clean it, adjust the pillows, and do anything that needs to be done in the dog’s pen). It is hugely miscalculated (and no – I am not the one who cannot get in – but having to go in sideways and watch every step is a problem)b. TO compound that problem there is about 7”+ of a threshold that you (going sideways) and your dog would need to negotiate over!!!If you are the one like I am – to buy the pen to rehab my dog after TPLO surgery (and I have a Samoyed who is 75 lbs) – you are embarking upon a very difficult, and dangerous task. You would need to go in, sideways, in your socks (if you, like I do, have 2 dog pillows in the pen for the dog to rest on), hook the dog on the leash and put the sling underneath – and then – (ha, ha!) maneuver to get the dog out of the pen, with you following, leaning forward, sideways, and maintaining the tension on the leash in one hand and sling in the other, to get the dog over the hurdle (i.e. threshold) and not have the dog get hurt (by stumbling or hitting the threshold) and making sure you are safely over, sideways.Simply – the whole pen is great, but the gate is ill-conceived and needs to be changed by 1) making it wider and 2) having no threshold or having 1-2” at the max for reinforcement.Hope this helps you all – from the people like me looking to get the pen to the manufacturer who should definitely change a design. It’s a good product, it just needs safety adjustments that are desperately lacking now.

It is set up as a temporary fence attaching to our backyard patio for a new puppy. It seems to be sturdy enough and is quite attractive to look at, blending in with the area around and not too visually disturbing as it allows an easy view of the gardens behind it.

Total game changer for camping with my dogs! Should have had these a long time ago.Shipping was prompt, packages in good shape.

We've had this about half a year now. It was easy enough to set up out of the box but the sliding pins and heavier panels aren't the easiest to move around if you are looking for something very portable. The way the panels are attached does leave a bit of space at the top and also where the loop in the pins are spaces where dogs might catch themselves. For our calmer pup this hasn't been a problem but for a dog who jumps a lot, it could be. The panels are very sturdy and have held up nicely, even though we had them outside for a few months over summer. The pins have bent over time though and we haven't moved it around too much. The gate if opened comes off the hinges fairly easily which is a bit annoying and the latch ends stick out which could cause injury if a dog runs in to it hard enough, it's right around eye level for our pup. Having had dogs a long time and seeing some crazy accidents, I would prefer safer mechanisms for connecting the panels together and closing the gate. Also, the gate is very narrow so it may be hard or not possible for some people to get in and out through it.Overall it's very useable for a dog who isn't too interested in jumping on the panels and has given our puppy lots of safe space to play when I can't supervise her.

Great product and allowed my puppy to be safe when needed. If I had to leave him for a few hours knowing he was safe was so important. Easy to put up and take down. Can adjust the size of pen needed.

While the fence itself is very easy to set up, the gate leaves a lot to be desired, not sure who designed the gate but good luck ever getting out of it without having to turn sideways or not wear any clothes. Ridiculous design for a gate, way too small, to slender and one has to step over a large kick plate. Out of all the people who came to visit, this was the chief complaint, the Gate is way too small/tiny/narrow for a normal adult to get in and out of. I only gave one star because of the gate issue. We have two fences joined together and neither of the gates are large enough to come in or out. This should be redesigned with a human going in and out of the entry/gate ergo, larger, not so narrow and get rid of the ridiculous kick plate one has to step over, or make it smaller when you enlarge the gate area.
