Ellie-Bo Heavy Duty 8-piece 100cm High Modular Dog Pen

I bought this to use as a puppy pen. Easy to assemble and good quality product. Amazon was the best price when I bought the pen. Not much else to say really except it does the job.

We were initially very impressed with this pen: sturdy, good quality build and easy to assemble and dismantle for storage. We have been using this since getting our Vizsla pup at age 8 weeks and had no problems till last night. Now at 4 months and much bigger dog, he was not settling to sleep and was attempting to get out of pen; his barking changed to a very distressed yelping and I rushed downstairs to find that he had caught his paw pad in one of the straight joins, as his paw slipped from the top of the pen downwards. Fortunately I was able to lift him up and dislodge the pad. There was a little bruising to the web of his paw but fortunately no tear. He was lucky not to have suffered a more serious injury such as a fractured leg and I was very upset at his suffering and thought of what might have happened. Although the product achieves its purpose i.e. to keep the dog restricted to the pen you may wish to consider the problem I have encountered before purchasing. I am thinking of some way to close off the 2 vertical slots on either side of the vertical connection rod to prevent this from re-occurring. This may not be a hazard for the smaller dog but any dog tall enough to be able to rest his paws on the top of the pen could be at riskFIX FOUND: I have fitted leg tips to each join, modified by drilling 5 size hole in base, threading through each rod. This fits snuggly into each gap around the rods, thus preventing the trapping as described above. Purchase these inexpensive items from B&Q

Bought the higher fencing as our cavapoo has the jumping capabilities of a kangaroo. He easily scaled a metre high one we borrowed from a friend, so when buying our own we opted for the highest version we could find.He has jumped over this once but it took a lot of effort and he hasn’t done it again in the 3 months we’ve been using it.Very sturdy. Doesn’t appear to be rusting and it’s outside all the time. We’ve used it in a line from one wall to another to section part of the garden off and it’s worked really well. Will probably buy a second one further down the line to make the dogs area much larger.The ‘loops’ the gate latches should slide into didn’t line up but my husband bent them into the correct position.Would recommend.

This has been worth every penny we spent on it. We have two lab puppies and didn’t want to crate them as we felt it would be unfair to them.This has provided the perfect alternative of extra space but restricting their access to the room to create carnage!The pen is sturdy but as a result can be a little difficult to manoeuvre into place and is on the heavier side, so probably not Ideal if you are not able to lift the panels into place. However because of this we’re not worried about the puppies pushing it over for getting out.We have found it incredibly versatile, using a few panels to block off rooms or the stairs when we are home to keep them in one section of the house, and even found that all 6 panels side by side is large enough to cover our driveway entrance and secure enough when we tied each end panel to the posts. This suddenly opened up the front garden and driveway for the pups to run around in and be with us as we cleaned the cars, as well as offering an important way for them to meet passers by.

Second one I’ve bought so I can use one outside and one indoors. Shame someone stuck the feet of the gate section on the side not the bottom meaning it’s uneven on the floor and the pole to join panels doesn’t go all the way down as the feet stop it!!

We have owned one of these for over 4 years now, and can honestly say its one of the best purchases we have made for the dog. Its very solid, excellent construction and finish. Simple to put up, and very flexible so you can make it bigger or smaller as you need. Our dog loves it too, hes large lab sized, and still has plenty of space in there. He likes to go in there if he's feeling stressed by noises outside.Buy it, you wont be disappointed!

I recommend this as a far superior and humane alternative to a "crate".we bought this pen with two extra panels because our labrador puppy had a leg operation and we need to prevent him from exercising too much. It's a tall fence, so he can't jump over it. We have found it very convenient, using it as a pen as well as a fence to keep him in one room. There's an annoying bar across the doorway, which is no good if the dog's recuperating from a leg operation, we got round this by removing one of the pivot bars, cutting two 30 cm lengths from it and bending them at 90 degrees, then putting them back in the hinge holes; then we just have to remove them and open the two panels instead of the door.The grid bars are quite flimsy and the dog has managed to remove several of them.One comment mentions "rust" - actually there's some dust that looks like rust but it isn't, so don't worry about that - if you leave it out in the rain then I'm sure it will rust.

This pen fitted our labrador and her 10 puppies with plenty of room. The puppies stayed in there till 8weeks. Sturdy and easy to clean.
