This must be the best DYI assembly kennel around (I paid $199 each from Petsmart and had them ship two of them to me.) They can be configured in many ways - the gates work smoothly and even the cover tarp is cut and sewn to fit. Whoever designed this kennel deserves an award. It is well thought out, very easy to assemble and of excellent quality. If I had more room, I'd buy another one!

Assembly: This kennel was easy to put together and easy to set up. I bought mine for indoor use. I am a woman who hates assembly projects, but was able to do it by myself. I only needed help carrying the box into the house. After that I was on my own with just a pair of pliers. Everything assembles with bolts and wing nuts, and I only used the pliers to tighten the wing nuts. Over all it only took about 45-50 minutes to assemble. My only complaint is why is it broke down into 8 sections? It would be easier to make it into 4 solid pieces, but who knows what the manufacturer was thinking.

Use: The Lucky Dog kennel is very sturdy and heavy enough that the dog can't lift, knock over or chew their way out of. I would not recommend this for pitts, rotts, or mastiff types that are prone to massive chewing fits...they would not hurt the support bars but would definitely chew the grid/fence links. It is totally suitable for German Shepherds (my dogs), Labs, Husky, and smaller dogs.
I also want to point out this kennel was made for short term or temporary housing and time outs. It is not big enough for everyday 24/7 kenneling of any dog. Other than that this is great for indoor training and supervised kenneling.

This has held up through humid summers and severe winters. It's sturdy, attractive (for this type of thing), and was easy to assemble and disassemble. It has a secure latching mechanism on the gate.

I purchased this for my CATS (since we live in an area prone to coyotes--cats have to be locked up at dusk). Great value, good quality.

I am pleased with this kennel, it is well constructed and was very easy to put together. Not sure how long the cover, which is a fitted tarp, will hold up outside, as I am using it inside.

The Lucky Dog 4 x 4 x 6 uptown enclosure was easy to assemble,a good price and makes the pefect enclosure in our garage for our 2 cats. No more cold winter mornings driving to work because our cars have been sitting outside while the cats were inside the garage. Our cats are comfortable and safe while we park or back out our automobiles.

Product quality was as advertised! The only problem I had was that the product was an out of box/used item and when I received the item the box was damaged and the product was missing some hardware. Amazon issued a credit so I could go to the local hardware store to replace the items. Thank you.

If you need a durable, easy to put up dog kennel, this is it. Simple and easy to put together, maybe 15 minute. Looks good too. Gate is easy to operate with one hand.

I bought this because one of my Dachshunds kept getting out of the yard, no matter how we tried to dog-proof and fortify. Even when we just left the house for an hour, we'd get a call from the neighbors telling us they had her 'AGAIN' and we'd have to cut our errand short. So, we finally decided enough was enough. We didn't want to tie her up to a stake and leave her there in the middle of the yard. We were scared she'd end up strangling herself, and that there wasn't enough shade. We also didn't want to leave her indoors because I didn't want her using the carpet as a restroom and then getting into the habit of it. A home-kennel seemed like the best option for us. I ordered this kennel because of its reviews and its price.

It was very easy to assemble (the roof gave me some trouble, it would have been nice to have an extra set of hands for it), large enough to fit all three of my little doggies comfortably, heavy enough to keep them from squeezing underneath, and not too tall as to not fit under the patio cover. (I can see a very large dog getting out of this kennel, just by tipping it over. But it would have to be a very large beast of a dog.) I put a fleece dog bed down, and a dog-bowl of fresh cool water whenever we leave. The first time we ever left them all in the kennel and went out for dinner, we sat quietly, listening for the familiar ring of our cellphones telling us the neighbors had her. It never came. We went home and there they were, just as we left them.

We've had it for a few months, it's wonderful, and holding up well. We can now shop comfortably, I can run errands without worrying, go on trips (we don't leave the dogs in their for days, since you never should. We ask someone to house-sit when we go away, or stop by for a few hours and let them out to play and what-not before they leave).

I highly recommend this kennel, it's been a stress-saver and a superb buy.

Great product that was easy to assemble. I use it in a climate controlled garage for my boarding business, and the dogs love it. They enter easily and have plenty of room to move around. The top gives it the den feeling that dogs love.
