With the shipping costs I paid $85.41 for this 36 inch high pen: well worth the money. I set it up in my house to put my 10# dog in when I go somewhere. Before I found this I had spent $200 on doggie gates, which I then put together to make a 4 ft x 4 ft pen. Only it didn't work because he spent all his time chewing the wood, which really concerned me about his safety (this even though I would heavily spray it with Bitter Apple).So, I put this up into a 4 ft x 4 ft square pen. To make sure he couldn't squeeze his little feet between the connectors I also secured the 2 ft sections with plastic tie-wraps, and then used duck tape to secure those to the pen, so he wouldn't poke himself in the eye with them, or chew them.
To make the pen more secure against movement I put two dog crates in one corner (on top of each other) and tied them to the pen (it takes two crates to stop him using one crate to climb up and jump out of the pen). I jammed one 4 ft length up against a wall, and placed a long table against the opposite 4 ft length. The reason I did this is because the fence is a little flimsy, and I could just see him moving it around or even toppling it (or it folding together), and since I can't use pegs to nail it down I secured it this way.
The top gate latch works great, but the bottom latch is too loose and easily comes undone, so when I leave him alone I will use a small padlock on that bottom latch to make sure he doesn't get it open (and raise havoc while I'm gone.. cause he definately would... he's a 10 lb dynamo).

I use this to crate my great dane and save hundreds not buying a crate. With my biggest dane I have to anchor this to the wall to keep him from knocking it over (but he is 200lbs of puppy) but worth it no having to invest 250+ in a crate he'll be squished in. My other danes don't bother knocking it over. Great size, great quality!Honest reviews on Everlasting Exercise Dog Pen with Door in Black
I volunteer with a pet rescue, and we have a variety of this type of pen for use in creating temporary barriers, pens, and dividers. The fold-flat design has a nice clip built in to keep the pen together when folded, and it came with a few "dog leash" type clips to easily snap the ends together when you want to use it as a pen (we use Zip ties to attach it to something when we use it as a divider).The only complaint is the door. On the 24" models the door is open at the top which makes it easy to open the door for a human to step through. On the 36" pen the door is set in the middle of one of the panels fine for letting a dog in & out, but humans must still step over a 36" divider. I of course knew this when ordering, it's clear in the pictures and this is still a good product at a good price but I'd love to see that design change.
The other thing that would be handy about the door is to put it in the middle of the fence, not on one of the end panels. When you're using it as a round pen it doesn't matter, but when you're using it as a divider it would usually be more convenient to have the door somewhere in the middle.
All in all a good product at a good price, we'll be buying more I'm sure.
