The pen is less than $50. It includes 12 panels sized 28” x 20”. The panels are made of a flexible, yet strong plastic that is wrapped around metal frames. The panels snap together into plastic holders. If extra support is needed, zip ties offer center-panel support.
The panels can be configured into different shapes, which allows the pen to work in a variety of areas. You can make several cubby areas for your dog by using a panel as a divider. It is almost like making a cubicle within the pen area.
Order another set of panels so you can make a multi-roomed pen. You can even create a private area with sod for potty breaks.
