How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsA game changer under the right circumstances
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018
An amazingly inexpensive solution to fencing in an area to keep your dog safe. A few things to keep in mind.... I have a jack Russell mix who is a runner & can jump incredibly high. She has not tried to escape—not once—BUT I still would never leave her unsupervised for even a minute. Buy extra stakes (for added stability—though I think it would have been fine w those provided) and most importantly, buy zip ties if (like me) you’re connecting multiple units as the gate closures don’t hold well—but for this price & such an easy solution, who cares. . What you’re seeing is 3 units connected to each other. Would this work indoors? I think unless you had carpet & kept to a circular shape (or wood floors but didn’t mind your dog moving it throughout your house) my guess would be no. It’s really the stakes that keep it in place. Bottom line, I’m thrilled with my purchase! For around $150 I have an area my dog can roam leashless & peace of mind (which we all know is priceless). Btw, for my jumper I bought the 42” H. She’s a jack Russell/chihuahua mix & is 15lbs.

2.0 out of 5 starsDoor locks assembled incorrectly so door does not open
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2018
I purchased this to my small dog purposefully with the door, and the way the door locks are either designed or placed on this particular gate have it jammed so neither of the two locks will move, therefore the door will not open.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great puppy pen! it is sturdy, easy to move!
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2018
Style: With doorPattern Name: Small - 30"HVerified Purchase
I purchased to keep my house clean and my new puppy safe until we figure out some good manners. I read lots of reviews and I am delighted with this choice. It is sturdy and easy to move. Simple to lift fence behind any mess needing cleaning. I put 2 clear shower curtain liners under it to avoid scratching floors. She put little bitty holes in the top shower curtain but she has been unable to bite thru to the bottom one so my floor is dry. I have a grabber to reach things which makes mopping shower curtain, with a slightly wet, soapy paper towel or Clorox wipe an easy clean.
Her small crate is in the pen with her toys and pee pad.
PS
I also got the pawz blanket from Amazon which is very cozy and washes up well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Quality Playpen, But Advertised Enclosed Area (64 sqft) Is Definitely Incorrect!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2019
Style: With doorPattern Name: Large - 48"HVerified Purchase
First of all, the product does seem to be of good quality and it does work well, at least outdoors (where we are using ours). As several others have already pointed out, though, the product description is flat out WRONG on this!! One (1) set of panels configured in a "square" formation would only equal 16 sqft, and even if you went with a perfect "octagonal" shape, you would still only increase the square footage by a little over 3 sqft...up to just over 19 sqft.....no where near the 64 sqft that they are advertising! :-(

We've already purchased five (5) of these, and they are working well, but after starting with just two (2) sets, in a pseudo-octagonal shape, we quickly realized that we probably couldn't do long, straight sections of fencing, as we expanded, as the added length of the sides quickly diminished the stability of the fence along the long sections.....even when using the included stakes! So, we ended up zig-zagging the fencing, making sure that we created small angles with each panel......nothing severe, maybe just a 10-20 degree angle every panel, or so, but it seemed to be enough to allow us to attach all five (5) sets together into one much larger pen....not a square or an octagon, but something in between, with zig-zagged edges.

For anyone who's interested (but doesn't want to do the math), here are the areas you would be able to achieve combining the sets, using a "square" configuration.....
1 = 16sqft
2 = 64sqft
3 = 144sqft
4 = 256sqft
5 = 400sqft

And, here are the approximate "octagonal" areas you would acthieve....
1 = 19sqft
2 = 77sqft
3 = 174sqft
4 = 309sqft
5 = 482sqft

Hope that helps!?

5.0 out of 5 stars Love!
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2018
Style: With doorPattern Name: Small - 30"HVerified Purchase
This pen is awesome! It comes already attached together so all you have to do is unfold it.
Easy peezy!
It has stakes so you can stake it down if you use it outside. I’m using mine inside and this pen is sturdy enough that it stands on its own just fine. Love that it can be set up in different shapes to accommodate whatever area in the room you are using or whatever decorating mood you happen to be in. Square., rectangular, etc.. The gate latches are very strong and well built. It’s a great pen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Using This as a Porch Gate-Fence
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2018
Style: With doorPattern Name: Small - 30"HVerified Purchase
We already own two AmazonBasics pet crates and we are super-impressed with the quality, so it wasn't a leap to try out this product. We were in desperate need of something to block the large entryway on our massive porch. Our dog is a chronic run away and we need something to prevent him from running away every time we went out on the porch. This exercise pen is perfect. We detached the two sides and stretched it out across the space (about seven feet across) with a few panels to spare. Neighbors have even stopped by and asked where we got the fence. Our dog is a small Foxhound (50 lbs) and a fantastic jumper. If he really wanted to, he could easily get over this 30" fence, but he hasn't even thought about trying as there is a step down on the other side. As far as quality, it is excellent as expected. It has gotten scuffed up on the bottom from the concrete porch floor, but it's not a problem for me. Something you should know - only one set of panels detach, not all of them. We were hoping to use the panels in two different places, but that won't be able to happen with this. I totally recommend this product, and would buy more if the need arises.

The media could not be loaded.
 We use this inside the house to keep our little dog gates into the kitchen and we use it out in the garage to keep the dog from running away while we’re spending time outdoors. We went with the 24” height one and the dog has never jumped it. It’s perfect and CHEAP for the length. Our garage door opening is 16 feet across. And it’s perfect

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price, don’t get the gate.
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2018
Style: With doorPattern Name: Small - 30"HVerified Purchase
I ready a lot of reviews and looked at many different products before purchasing this one. Over all, I’m happy with it. I live in a corner lot town house and although there is a fence, it circles the perimeter of all three backyards for my building. I wanted my dog to be able to roam free with out a leash. I purchased TWO sets of the 30 inch high fences, one with a gate and one without. They are the perfect height for my mini dachshund however the gate is worthless. I highly recommend sticking with the no gate option and just stepping over it to get in and out. I have two sets separated, on each side of my back yard so my dog has the full space to play. When these fences are not in a circle or square shape they are quite flimsy. I have them arranged a little wonky so they have more stability. Honestly, for the price they are really great. My complaints are minimal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great playpen for my pup. Recommend for dogs under about 50 pounds.
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2018
Style: With doorPattern Name: Medium - 36"HVerified Purchase
Have had this for almost six months now and am still very happy with it.

We got this when our English Setter puppy first came home. She was tiny then and this was where we kept her when we were out of the house or when we were home but couldn't watch her closely. Her kuranda bed and food/water bowls fit in there with enough room for her to still move around. Now she's almost 8 months old and almost full grown and we still use this as her safe place. She can jump up on it and has never knocked it over, it's a good height to keep her in. Really happy we got this and it has held up very well.

I think if you had a large or giant dog who was raised with this as their playpen I think it would be fine. If, however, you were to put an giant dog in this who had never been in one before and who was trying to get out, they could knock it over and possibly even injure themselves if it collapsed with them inside it.

Q.B.
5.0 out of 5 stars So Versatile! Holding up after a year of outdoor use. Great secure fencing when traveling.
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2021
Style: With doorPattern Name: Large - 42"HVerified Purchase
The media could not be loaded.
 I have purchased 6 sets of these gates for use when visiting my parents with 4 crazy dogs. It created a huge play yard for our 2 Golden Retrievers, Aussie Shepherd and Border Terrier puppies all under the age of 2. They work really well, and have held up to dogs jumping on them and running and playing. It provided a safe place to let the dogs romp without tearing up the house or running after neighbors dogs. The panels are very heavy and take some work to assemble. We put these away when we are not using them, as I am pretty sure they would rust over time.***UPDATE*** Still using these gates. I have been able to block off areas of new sod from dog romping and I created a “gauntlet” to direct my pup out the back door directly to the area I want him to use as a bathroom. Currently, we are using the rest of it to protect him from running out to the driveway when the gate gets left open and to protect the baby robins who will soon leave the nest from instant demise. they have been outside for an entire year and they are holding up very well. If my dog was huge, he could knock them down when they aren’t secured, but at 20 pounds, he’s pretty safe. I’ve secured one with zip ties to the permanent fence. Im using another section to protect the vegetable garden. No regrets on this purchase!
