Overview
This is Amazon Basics' foldable octagonal metal exercise pen for dogs, an 8 panel indoor and outdoor playpen with a single access door, sold here in the 30 inch tall, small footprint size in black.
Despite being filed under Dog Crates in this catalog's category tree, the title and attributes describe an open top playpen, not an enclosed crate. It folds flat for storage and ships requiring assembly, with a listed footprint near 60 inches square before the door and panel count reduce the enclosed area.
- 8 panel octagonal exercise pen
- 30 inch height, small size
- Single door, snap closures
- Folds flat, 19.85 pounds
Who it's for
Suits owners who need a temporary containment area for a small to medium dog indoors or in a yard, for puppy training, vet visits or travel. Not a substitute for a fully enclosed crate if your dog is a known climber or jumper, since exercise pens have no top.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Folds flat for storage between uses
- Single door panel for easy access
- Usable indoors or outdoors
- Octagonal shape gives more usable area than a square pen of the same panel count
- Requires assembly on arrival
- No top, so it will not contain a dog that jumps or climbs
- Filed under Dog Crates in this catalog though it functions as an open pen
Performance notes
Eight metal panels snap together with a listed snap closure type to form an octagonal enclosure roughly 60 by 60 inches, standing 30 inches tall. Assembly is required out of the box, and the panels fold flat afterward for storage or transport.
