Midwest Homes for Pets XX-Large Chain Link Outdoor Dog Kennel | 10L x 10W x 6H' & Includes Free Sunscreen

My wife and I set this up in an hour or so. It went together pretty easily. The only thing that gave us minor trouble was that the roll of chain link wasn't super easy to unroll because a lot of the top and bottom links loops became interconnected (assume during shipping). It was far from a significant issue and just took time to unlink them. Doing the unlinking was what took the most time in the entire process. We added additional tie wraps to secure the chain link to the bottom frame so that we had it secured about every foot instead of every two feet. We also used two tent stakes per side to stake it to the ground. In the end, it feels sturdy and solid. The sunscreen seems durable. We will leave the sunscreen on all summer but remove in winter - note that it is held on with plastic zip ties so you'll need to buy more when re-installing. The gate latch is a little annoying because the rod holding the chainlink somewhat interferes with it. I bet if we loosened or tightened the eye bolts more that it would solve that - not really a big deal though. I am happy with it, but I do feel the price was a little high and If we needed another kennel, I may or may not buy this one again. If the price were fifty bucks lower, I would definitely buy this one again though. So the price creates a fine line for me on the product even though I am satisfied with it. It's a good kennel overall. We filled ours with mulch at least temporarily as the dog likes to dig himself a spot on the ground.

The frame was very fast and simple to assemble. The fence took a little longer but was also pretty easy. Just make sure to keep it tight and even. We bought this for our Rottweiler and it’s spacious and secure.

I like this kennel and works for what I need (I have dogs that are good in the kennels). I use it outdoors and has held up well. Assembly was easy....but I have been putting kennels together for 15 years so...😂😂. This is NOT a good kennel if you have an escape artist. The chain link fencing is not of the best quality and a determined dog could pull/chew it to make it out. That being said if your dog is good being in there, it would work fine. It is big enough for a large dog bed and water/food bowls and movement for the dog.

Easy to use and clean. Great product!

The listing says this is strong, sturdy, galvanized steel. Now I've worked with galvanized steel before and it takes a fair bit to move it out of shape. It also doesn't rust for 35-75 years depending on just how corrosive the area it's in. So that was what I expected from this.The bars came to me bent so I took my two human hands and average strength, bent them back into shape, and assembled them. That was red flag number one. Within 2 months, they were rusting, even though they're "galvanized steel" so there's red flag number two. The chain link is assumed to be panels when you look at the listing but it's a giant roll that you have to untangle yourself. The gate is so narrow that if you have wide hips or wide shoulders, you will need to turn sideways to go through. If you have a belly that sticks out, you won't be able to get through. Even if you are stick thin with narrow hips and shoulders, you'll still have to squeeze through this gate. It also doesn't stay together if the yard is even slightly inclined. Therefore, I had to go buy bolts and bolt each piece together.All in all, this feels like a scam. It's not advertised correctly and by the time you find out, it's trash and no longer able to be returned. Thankfully, I can recoup some costs by scrapping the metal at least.

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

It’s a perfect size for 2-3 small dogs. Easy to lift and move if needed. You just have to make sure you put extra zip ties on the top shade cover and the bottom fencing (see provided pictures). The top says down, only because some zip ties have ripped, due to my cat jumping on and off of it. Overall, very happy with it.

I ordered this immediately after my neighbor posted a video of some local critters she believes 'took' her cat?!! I have Yorkies at a whopping 3 lbs and one of my senior citizens, although she has tried attacking a bear, IS TOOTHLESS! The bear was confused at the human running towards it, to grab a rabid, barking squirrel! I assembled it up to the fencing part by myself. The fencing part, i strongly suggest a helper but maybe have a helper that isn't a moody 17 year old? A good attitude will go a long way. They are correct, the fencing tangles easily and even more so, if in a huff, the fencing hits the ground! The child is alive, and uninjured, although threats may have been uttered if an attitude didn't improve. When untangling wear gloves, edges are sharp. Thankfully, I am rather gifted at untangling things and now my fur babies can be safe while outside! Thank you for an awesome product with clear instructions, parts labeled and everything we needed to assemble!

Took about an hour to assemble and needed an extra set of hands at one point. I would buy again and I would recommend it.

Second time assembling the cage I didn't even need the manual it was very easy. No bolts of screws, only some zipties for the fencing which was also very easy. It looks overwhelming, but it really isn't!

Arrived within a week and was not damaged. Easy to install and the Cover fit perfect. It was a bit pricy but I am happy with it.

Difficile à assembler. J'ai été obligé de trafiquer les morceaux pour l'assemblage
