MidWest Homes for Pets Chain Link Portable Kennel with a Sunscreen, 10L x 6W x 6H Feet, K9 Kennel K91066

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.

Requires Two people to work the chain link part but otherwise it's very easy to put together and very sturdy. Lots of room for Large dog bed and a water bowl area and a pee area Roof is great too. we put a Fake grass on the cement so it's very comfortable and very difficult for Coyotes to get in. Makes me feel more secure for leaving my pet in the backyard if we can't take him with us...

Fairly easy to put up. I did the foundation myself but waited 3 weeks to get help from someone to avoid the fencing tangling up. Try to avoid rolling it out completely. Just stand it up next to the door space & have someone slide the thin metal rods down thru the fencing & into the loop screws to secure it. Once that is secured you can slowly back up & roll the fencing out little by little to stretch it out. The second person should follow making sure it’s secured tightly around the kennel. But it’s great so far!

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.

This kennel is actually pretty awesome. My beautiful hound dog is inside when I am not home & has plenty of room. The door is pretty narrow & my granddaughter scratched her leg on a bolt, but that's the worst I can say. I would advise using the wires for better stability if you are putting larger dogs in it.

After years of buying dog kennels and struggling to put them together - finally found one that was easy to assemble! In fact, we bought two to put in our unfinished basement for our Bassett hounds. They arrived on time, in sturdy boxes, with all components. I won’t be looking anywhere else to purchase kennels. Definitely recommend this brand! P.s. comes with nice sun covers for outside use.

Two sections don’t close completely. Mesh fit too loose. Fence is really wobbly no matter how much I stretched it. Definitely need more than 2 people to build it.

I gave a 5 because this was a nice kennel. Not for my Pitbull/terrier tho. He chewed a hole in the cheaply made fence the first day and bit all the zip ties off the top cover.
