CL-40528 5' x 5' x 4' Heavy Duty Outdoor Galvanized Chain Link Dog Kennel Enclosure

This was an excellent product for my dog I will purchase it again

I gave this product 3 stars for a couple of reasons...1. The quality of fencing is a joke and we will likely STILL have to go to a local hardware store and completely replace this within months.2. The construction of the fencing alone took me 2 hours to "unfold" and realigned every second link. If you aren't a healthy diy'er this is not the product for you. Several areas were completely misaligned and had no connecting link as a result.3. The video says this entire unit can be setup in two hours. It took me and my wife all but six hours. That's a fairly big difference and even then the instructions have you place all the chain link up before aligning the gate which meant we had to undo part of the latches and stretch everything. Thankfully we had some room or we would have had to undo all the latches and started over. Such a tedious piece of work.4. The only positive at this point and the rationale behind three stars is the framing did go together nicely. The hardware used for the gate is questionable but I'll give it a shot.Update:. Working with this product for a week now and it's complete crap. The chain link requires such tension that the screws can hold the tension with out the gate sliding back enough for dogs to simply nuzzle their way out. Now I'm going to have to go back through with self tapping screws and probably get a better fat latch that doesn't simply roll around the pole. I don't know why anyone would need a 10'x10' for a Yorkie but I doubt this holds that either. I should have listened to past review. 🙄

Surprisingly clear instructions make assembly pretty clear, if not easy.PROS: Very detailed and well written instructions for a foreign manufactured product. This can be assembled to form a 5x15 or a 10x10 enclosure, and they're rather well delineated in the instructions. All the tubing is labeled with small stickers to show what goes where, making assembly a lot easier than I feared it would be. No parts were missing. The tubing diameter is smaller than what is generally used in a free standing chain link fence but seems appropriate for this task. All tubes are powder coated.CONS: The box is damn heavy. This would be easier with two people, but I managed. Make no mistake, this will take a while to completely assemble, mostly all the twisting the steel wires ties to hold the fencing to the framework.SUGGESTIONS: Follow the directions and be sure to roll out the chain link on a flat surface as they suggest. In shipping various bits of the fencing turn, come unhooked, etc. Much easier to do this when the fencing is rolled out, then moved into place. This will take one person several hours to complete, but I wasn't frustrated with missing parts or indecipherable instructions!Tools: Wheelbarrow: great for lugging the box, and also for moving the roll up fencing when prepping it for installation.Vise-Grips and Channellocks: I used several different types of pliers to work with the chain link. These two were most helpful.Phillips screwdriver: Need a hefty one to cinch down the various screwsSocket wrench: Believe I used a 7/16th socket to mount the gate latch. Only two nuts in this entire kit.Zip ties: These were very helpful to temporarily hold the chain link in place. Use some!

I'm usually home and my 3 dogs are with me most of the time. I wanted something large enough that my 3 could stay in when I had to leave, so I bought this. I did buy a sun tarp so they would have shade, and artificial turf, so they weren't lying down on the dirt. The only problem I had it was missing screws and I had to go to my local hardware store and buy more. The rods that are woven into chain link were a little bent, but my nephew was able to straighten them out. The only thing I wish they had more of are the fence ties, I ended up buying more of those as well. Other than that, it's great!

Smaller than I expected but contain my dog well. I have Pit Bull. She can’t jump fence. Definitely tall enough, but narrow.

We were at our wits end trying to keep our dog safe while we were gone. We finally found this pen. It does need to go outside but we have had no problems with this one. Our dog is an escape artist and she can't get out of this one!

Didn't last a month dog tore thought it

The good:1) (Missing parts) The seller seems to be upfront getting the parts promptly that I need to finish this kennel.2) The price is fair but I would of spent a few bucks more for better chain link which I'll probably end up buying a heavier gauge chain link.3) I've ordered the roof which seemed reasonable in price and hopefully it will arrive all intact..Cons:1) My Siberian Husky has already bent and destroyed the CHEAP CHAIN LINK USED IN THIS IMPORTED KENNEL KIT!2) A few parts were missing but the seller assures me the will promptly send the parts, latch, tie wires and plastic caps for the pipe ends.3) instruction assembly manual, all parts that are marked E are actually G parts!4) The chain link gauge is the thinnest I'd ever seen and several of the links were not connected and I had to remove 5 links to accomplish a tight fit once I was finally able to unravel the rats nest because of its terrible quality of the links not being crimped correctly and snagging which was a real bitch! ( it took me only 1 hour to assemble the frame and over 3 hours to attach the cheap quality chain link) I used bailing wire until I receive the proper wire ties.The good: 1) The seller seems to be upfront getting the parts promptly that I need to finish this kennel.2) The price is fair but I would of spent a few bucks more for better chain link which I'll probably end up buying a heavier gauge chain link.3) I've ordered the roof which seemed reasonable in price and hopefully it will arrive all intact.....
