At the hardware store, I found a connector to hold the 4 PVC pieces in an "X" (or cross) shape. After assembling the playpen, I secured the PVC pieces and connector to the top of the playpen with zip-ties."
"So im attaching a picture next to my full grown german shepherd to guide you."
"We made a "gate" by using 3/8" X 2 1/8" cotterless hitch pins: simply insert an eye screw into the wood post, and the pin slides through that and into the channel on the fence (that the posts slide through) [see pics]. The pins can be attached to the eye screw so that it can simply be dropped once pulled out."
"If you're 5'2" and below, I suggest you use the Doggy door yourself to get inside because my tiny legs cant jump over that for easy access."
"He is not super rambunctious or naughty and is currently only 7 lbs, so it's holding him but it does move around a lot when he jumps up on the sides. I bought a shorter square pen by a different manufacturer that is only 4 sides which iis much more sturdy but it is also much smaller so we only use it for bedtime at night upstairs."
"No reason to make the buyer go through the 30 minutes or so of attaching the hardware."
"With a new puppy coming home, I knew this was exactly what I wanted!"

While they run around and have fun in a safe and contained environment, you can keep an eye on them through the mesh screens on the sides and top of the playpen. With the included travel tote, you can bring this with on all of your trips to provide your pet with a contained play area wherever you go. Simple to Install - 8 Panel Design allows for extremely easy set up and take down.

"I purchased this for our 16 pound elderly maine coon cat who suffered a back injury and must be kept from jumping on or off things. The silver pieces you feed through the zip broke right off and we had to duct tape the zipper to secure it. They say in their description to skip using amazon customer service to return and contact the seller instead."
"Just pull it out of the bag, open it up (it will pop open with very little effort) and zip the top and bottom into place. We needed to contain her before she ruined our floors so we got the 24"x45" and it's just the right size to fit a litter box, bed and scratcher with a little room left to move around. I'll clip them together with binder clips, leave off the top of the lower pen and bottom of the upper pen."
"I recently left his collar on top of the pen, and he jumped up and down over and over and tried clawing at the top to get to the collar. The pen's top and bottom have zippers, so--unlike the ones with velcro--there is no chance your pet can find a way out."
"I bought this kennel when my dog was nearing end of life to keep him safe when I wasn't home."
"My Pomeranian puppy loves her new pen!"
"Let me start by saying it took me hours to finally choose this particular one because I read many reviews. I chose this one because I am using it for my cat who had surgery and she needs to be confined but also needs room to still be a cat.."

"I secured it using 4 supplied screws that went through the existing track on the slider patio. The existing door lock had to be removed so the door would sit flush against the left side of the wall. The lock on the existing door doesn't work with the pet door, so they supply a lock you can install. Then, when you're sure the lock will be good, you can secure the door to the patio door frame."
"I did not drill anything, just leaving as is since I plan on taking it out each time I am gone for a while since its that easy to remove and put back."
"This is really the best option out there if you need a dog door and dont want to destroy your house."
"I first bought the Ideal Pet door (I like that the plastic on the flap was clear vs tinted, the was it is on this one) and my medium dog had a hard time climbing through the hole because it was so high off the floor. So I went to Lowes to see if they carried their version of a patio dog door and they did - made by PerSafe (I ended up buying it there)."
"I am posting a review here for the benefit of those with Large Dogs... just because this door says "Large" realize there are large dogs and LARGE dogs... also not-so-large dogs that have long legs (like my Boxer)."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I anticipated the arrival of the potty bells and prepared myself for how to use and train my dog by watching a few videos on Youtube with similar products just different brand names. Once the potty bells arrived, they also came with a set of simple instructions which I also used and implemented. It took only a handful of times before my french bulldog understood that ringing the bell with his nose = door opens."
"After receiving the product hung it on the door we normally go out to potty and he picked up the idea that he was supposed to ring it to go out within one day."
"He would potty outside if we let him out often enough, but would go in the house if he happened to need to and the door was shut. It took him a few days to figure out we wanted him to nudge the bell, but he did figure it out."
"It took our dog about a week to understand how we wanted her to use them, but now she rings the bells every time she wants to go out. I learned that you shouldn't react to the bells every time the dog rings the bells, because they will think it's a toy. If the dog just went to that bathroom and you hear the bells ringing 10 minutes later, chances are the dog just wants attention. I would suggest only reacting when you know the dog hasn't been out for at least an hour, maybe 35-45 minutes if the dog just ate or it's a small dog."
"These bells are both sturdy and long."
"Great Product."
"I was pleased with the quick delivery and quality of the product."

"It has saved my back from lifting and pulling on the heavy boys."
"We have it going down the five steps from the back deck to the backyard, and my dachshund uses it like a pro. Plus he quickly realized that it was easier on his back and was glad to be able to use it to go up and down to do his business. This is usually because the dog's back is feeling great now and he bounds up the ramp to come inside."
"We purchased it for a week long trip in our RV as we wanted something portable and lightweight. First girl to go up it...she had no traction and slipped tearing up the sandpaper like surface."
"Our 11 yr old Golden was recently diagnosed with a type of bone cancer in his front leg, so with his already arthritic back legs, this added considerably to his inability to navigate 3 hardwood steps in our house without falling."
"But after about 45 minutes he was able to make it up and down the ramp with some gentle coaxing. We also bought the Solvit side door adapter for the ramp."
"From previous vet visits I have known he has arthritis in his hips, but one day his walking became worse. I was afraid to pick him up because he would not let me touch his back leg, and that is what led me to buy a ramp."
"After reading many reviews, I purchased (and returned) two other shorter, narrower ramps before getting this one. I have two 63 lb Aussies: one youngster who can leap tall buildings in a single bound and one older who, while amazingly agile on the ground, was no longer willing to jump into the back of our Xterra."

You can make this into an octagon/circle, square, or a rectangle, L- shape, and probable a triangle! The gates opening is a little small it you are blessed with nice size hips, but it is workable for me and my family that range from 125lb to 230lb."
"Sadly my father and step mom adopted this dog and she would have been a project for a seasoned dog trainer.... they were definitely in over their heads with her as they are NOT dog trainers. When I knew I was going to have to take her on along with my father, I started researching gate options. And I realized that until the dog was here, I really wasn't sure exactly how it would work out. After trying multiple configurations I ended up with 4 panels at one end of the long living room to lock the dog in both when we go out (she will crap if left in a large enough space) as well as a place to put her if we have company to keep them safe while she's learning her manners. We have 3 more panels at the other end of the room to keep her in with us most of the time while allowing the cats a safe space where they can get to their litter and food. The only thing I haven't used is the actual gate because my father's Rollator won't go through it, but that's ok - it may come in handy in the future. I was getting quite discouraged when I started researching for a gate because I really didn't know exactly how I would set things up and I didn't want to have to buy 4 different gates (or more) to figure out what would work. If you have someone who can't get through the standard gate that most of these things have, this is your gate."
"We bought 3 of the 192" Play Yard's and set up sectioned off areas in our back yard--they work and look great."
"I have a 7 month old feisty chiweenie and a 4 month old boston terrier and I've tried just about everything. they have their bedroom area, their play area and bathroom all in one fenced corner of my apartment, and I'm not even using all the walls!"
"I set up the mat (we ordered the HemingWeigh Multicolored Mat), placed the panels in the configuration I wanted and placed it on top of the mat. Then I took a pen and traced along the inside of the metal panels, took the play yard off and cut along my pen line."
"We bought this for our puppy since the first day he came home."
