5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful golden finish, Tall, Sturdy, and Rugged, January 6, 2009

This review is from: Midwest Gold- Zinc Indoor/Outdoor Exercise Pet Pen, 24"W x 48"H (Misc.)

The metal bars are not the flimsy type like you see in pet cages, but thick no-nonsense bars with impeccable quality in their golden zinc finish. The xpen has 8 panels that fold in any direction so you can shape the 16 foot long product into a room divider, or snap the ends together with the included golden spring clips to form a rectangle or octagon. I have mine placed in the corner of the room, and so it is more of a bulging triangle at the moment.

The product included ground hooks, for persons placing the xpen outside in the yard, as well as thick polymer clips to latch panels that are running straight, so that the pen cannot be tipped over. These come off for easy storage. I originally hung a sheet over the top of the xpen to create an artificial ceiling to employ behavioral shaping to condition my dog into not believing that he might escape by jumping upward, and this has been fully successful, although you can purchase ceilings of bars or a shade tarp separately.

I purchased the xpen for my large golden to have a safe place to recover from knee surgery, and so I don't use the built in door, as it has a small 2 inch rise on it and I didn't want him to trip lifting his surgical leg over it, but I instead unfasten the main seam by opening the included spring clips so that I can easily part the panels and afford my pup safe exit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rough edges, metal pieces and patchy 'gold zinc', October 22, 2008

This review is from: Midwest Gold- Zinc Indoor/Outdoor Exercise Pet Pen, 24"W x 48"H (Misc.)

Fast shipping from Amazon as usual, product arrived ok packaged. Assembly was easy, but using cheap, not adequate hardware. Plastic 'stabilizers' fell of as soon as puppy jumped up against it.

The biggest problem however is the bad welding job on the metal mesh, parts are just rough whereas in other areas metal pieces/ particles come of the product, both defects can be damaging to animals imo. The gold-zinc coating is also patchy and comes off on certain spots - rust will likely occur soon!
Going to return it to Amazon and trying to find a better product.

4.0 out of 5 stars We just adopted 2 new puppies. This is essential if you want to get any thing done during the day., February 27, 2008

The pen arrive promptly, and was easy to assemble. We have it in the octagon pattern which allows the most romp area for our 2 mischievious little pups. There is also room for a medium a bed, large pee pad and water dish. The set up is stable, our puppies are between 10 and 15 lbs, and have yet to knock it over... and they have tried. My only complant is that a few of the edges were quite sharp and had to be filed down.
