It took me about 2 hours to put together it sturdy not 6 feet at all nor 8 feet but your dog probably won’t escape this kennel

This took me a few hours to put together. I almost decided to make it a two-day project but I was so close to victory I decided to push through. The instructions for the base around the door/gate frame are a little glitchy but we made it work. Patience and determination are your number one and two tools for this project. After the build, I did notice the canopy covering was not as snug as I might have liked, but I plan to resolve that with bungee chords eventually. I also will be mindful of precipitation accumulation. I am already considering how to best support the roof frame before winter sets in. My little homie was able to squeeze out the bottom corner of the door even while it was latched so, I added two bungee chords to the bottom and that seems to be working for now. Since he is an escape artist he is tethered to the doghouse until I can get some pavers or landscaping barriers to discourage him digging out. Overall, I'm quite pleased with my investment and the joy I feel from having done it all by myself for my little buddy. With a few modifications this is a 5-Star option for pet safety, peace of mind, and rewarding challenges that make meaningful impacts.

This pen is nice once assembled. It took a long time (about 5 to 6 hours) to put together by myself. The only thing wrong with this product is that the lock doesn't align up to close. You don't figure that out until it's part way up. The pen came in 2 packages and was heavy so sending back was kind of not an option I wanted to go through. I couldn't even find where I could message the seller. I like it a lot but wish the latches aligned.

We purchased this kennel in September 2024, and overall, it’s provided a great shelter for our dogs through both 100° summers and snowy winters. Setup was pretty straightforward if you follow the instructions—definitely easier with two people and power tools.
That said, a few issues have come up over time. The elastic ties haven’t held up well in our high winds, and the cover has started to tear after several months. One brace broke and another slips out during strong gusts, so we’ve had to reinforce those and add sheets of OSB for weight and added protection in winter.
Despite the wear and tear, the frame itself has held up, and with some modifications, it's been a reliable structure. Just be prepared to make a few upgrades if you live in an area with more extreme weather.

4x8x6 real-estate for the dog in bedroom. Perfect! Found a 4x8 mat for it to sit on carpet. Wasn't to hard to put together. Looks very nice without roof.

This kennel is good value for the money, it does take about 3 hours to put together, due to the many parts. It is solid and very funtional. The roof, however is paper thin. I replaced mine with a canvas tarp.

Easy to.put together. Im 64 did it by myself. Probably 4-6 hrs. Took my time. Top is not as thick as I thought but it works.

This is a great kennel once built, just know its going to take you HOURS to build. Instructions are OK, but definitely could be better.

This pen arrives in 2 packages,sobe prepared that they may not arrive together. It also comes in pieces, not panels. I didn't fully understand that when I ordered. At any rate, we separated out the pieces and searched for instructions, which we did not find (more to come on this)...minus instructions, it took about 3 hours to put the pen together (with no issues...the pieces are pretty self explanatory on how they go together). After we got the pen together and went to put on the tarp, we found the instructions with the tarp, so know that the first thing you need is likely packaged with the last thing you need!!! The tarp is not the highest quality, so be prepared to fight with that part and then replace it with a higher mil tarp! Otherwise, this is a recommended purchase. My 2 springer spaniels have room to move and stay safe when I'm not able to watch them outside.

Very sturdy. Simple to put together.
