MidWest Homes for Pets Chain Link Portable Kennel with a Sunscreen, 6L x 4W x 4H Feet, K9 Kennel K9644

This is a good buy for the money. It was easy to put together and is reasonably sturdy. I am using this as a temporary enclosure in my barn for my younger chickens after they leave their brooder but before they can be with the big girls. It’s perfect for that. The only thing I don’t like is how narrow the door is. Then again, I could stand to lose about fifteen pounds. lol. The door is still narrow. Everything else is great.

My review is on the build since we just built it. I’ll update on quality as time goes on. It took my husband and myself about an hour to build. It wasn’t difficult. We followed directions. A couple of poles weren’t labeled but it wasn’t hard to figure out. As others have said be careful with the fencing. Lay it down and roll it out. It tangles easily. It’s best to have 2 ppl to install the fencing to avoid a tangled mess. If having 2 ppl is an option. Overall fairly easy.

I needed something asap to handle a German Shepherd I'm fostering, something to temporarily contain her while letting out my pit. This worked out great, perfect for her size. I'm giving it four stars for a few reasons.1. The cover screen is a little too small and leaves too much of a gap around the top. This could be a problem if you have a dog that can stand up and stick its head through the gap/space. Be careful your dog doesn't have a collar than can snag on the zip ties. Fortunately, my Shepherd stopped doing this, or I would've had to remove the screen and replace it with wood boards.2. About those zip ties. They suck. They're thin plastic zip ties that will not hold in winter (they will break with the cold). I recommend lacing sturdy cord, instead (like paracord). I did that, and it helps secure the screen top a lot better.3. Not enough wire ties. Fortunately, since I had to remove some excess chain linkage, I just cut some pieces from that and used for them for ties.4. After tightening the chain link around the frame, the frame does become more stable. However, I really think the frame would benefit from being able to tighten in a screw at each joint (where pipes slid in).Overall, this kennel is just what I needed. I recommend this kennel. Thanks.Oh, btw, the dogs are starting to like each other. This kennel is great for controlling their meet & greets.

Great

Pure Junk. No quality control. Bad swedge job had to use a mallet to force together. Returned cost us over $50.00 and so much aggravation. Hope your experience is better. Been fitting pipe for a living 45 years and this is poorly made as pie plate thin material. Also missing parts and spent several hours on phone with Amazon to get returns as it seems items were scanned in as we had UPS Tracking but was stolen at point of return at Amazon Center. Sad indictment when they steal tracked items and then say we didn't ship them despite our records. Stay Safe and practice due diligence ~ Everyone doesn't wish you well ! Thanks.

I put this whole thing together by myself in about an hour and a half. The instructions are pretty straight forward and if you have a gob of patience, the chain link isn’t too terrible to untangle. I use it as a “catio” for our feral cats that we’re introducing to a property as working whiskers. It’s big enough to fit their entire cat house, a cat tree, cat box, and space to spare. I put a tarp over the top to keep it rain proof. I wrapped blankets around it to help them feel secure when they were first brought to the property.

The chain link was messed up from delivery and this was a b*** to put together ...after it was put together it seems loosely fitted and zip ties are not a great idea to hold it together my dog can chew right through those

Easy to use and clean. Great product!
