Overview

This MidWest exercise pen folds open to about 16 square feet of play space and stands 30 inches tall, for indoor or outdoor use. It has a single door with a large opening and a secure latch, and folds flat when not in use.

As an exercise pen rather than a crate, this is an open-topped enclosure meant for supervised play space rather than confinement, a different job than the crate lines MidWest also sells. The 30 inch height and open top mean it suits dogs that will not jump or climb out.

  • 30in tall exercise pen
  • About 16 sq ft enclosed area
  • Single door, large opening
  • Indoor and outdoor use

Who it's for

Owners who need a temporary, movable play space for a small to medium dog indoors or outdoors. Not suited to dogs that jump or climb, since the pen has no top.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Folds flat for storage and portability
  • Large door opening with secure latch
  • About 16 sq ft of play space
Cons
  • No top, so it will not contain jumpers
  • Single door limits access points

Performance notes

The pen folds flat for storage and setup, with a single door offering a large opening for the dog to pass through and a latch to keep it closed. Because it has no top, it depends on the dog's height and jumping ability to stay contained.
