Why it matters
Eight connected 24 x 30 in panels make a large play area for puppies, small dogs and small animals. A step-through door has dual latches, three thumb snaps join the panels, and eight stakes secure it on grass. Heavy-gauge wire has a black satin finish, and it folds flat in octagon, rectangle or square shapes.
