Olympia Tools 6x4x8ft Dog Kennel - Small Outdoor Dog Kennel Kit with UV Protection Waterproof Cover - Heavy Duty Welded Wire Dog Kennels - Ideal Black Pet Cage for Dog Yard Wire Fence - Patio Crates

Good quality with easy assembly.

This is not a permanent home for a dog but, it has made a excellent retreat for my dog while I cut grass. It also serves as a 10 minute time out. It sets on our back porch and it looks nice. Very pleased with my purchase. My dog is 100 pounds and it holds him nicely.

This Homestead kennel was cheaper than others which is why I purchased it a few years ago. However, the clamps provided with this kennel bend easily over time and eventually will not keep the panels together (my pups have escaped through the cracks a few times). The clamps slide/fall even after the bolts are tightened repeatedly. Also, the panels are lightweight and are NOT sturdy or strong compared to similar kennels. Therefore, if you ever have to move this structure while it’s assembled, it will easily fall apart and/or collapse on itself. Afterwards, reassembly is a nightmare (sadly it’s happened to me many times). Additionally, the gate latch was missing upon delivery but when I asked for it, the vendor was non-responsive and I’ve since had no luck finding one that can be purchased separately to fit this specific kennel gate (it’s since been secured with a bungee cord). If I had it to do over back then, I would’ve purchased a different kennel of higher quality in the first place. While recently searching for another kennel to purchase, I ran across this one again and wanted to remind buyers that you definitely get what you pay for - lesson learned.

The kennel is a reliable outdoor enclosure that offers sturdy protection for small dogs. Its UV protection and waterproof design ensure durability against the elements, providing peace of mind for pet owners.While the kennel is quite sturdy on even surfaces, I found it slightly challenging to move, especially when attempting to reposition it. However, once in place, it offers secure containment for my dog.The UV protection and waterproof features have proven to be effective, keeping my dog safe and dry during various weather conditions. Usually the dog isn't left outside in the elements therefore I am only going by the fact that the area stays dry. The kennel's size is ideal for small dogs, providing ample space for them to move around comfortably.Overall, the Olympia Tools Dog Kennel is a solid choice for outdoor pet containment. While it may be challenging to move and requires even ground for optimal stability, its durability and protective features make it a worthwhile investment for pet owners seeking reliable outdoor shelter for their furry friends.

Side, sturdiness and look was nice

We own a dog boarding facility and I bought these for small dogs. They will do fine for that but I would never trust these to hold a dog over 25 pounds. Also the rod that holds the canopy up was too long so my husband had to cut it to fit. The brackets that hold it on are flat not curved, so it slips off center of the end pieces it attaches to. My husband will have to drill holes in the end pieces and buy new bolts to make it stay in position. Just keep in mind that you may have to work on these, thus the 3 star review. The rod over the gate is annoying, so we plan to cut it off and use some of the plugs to prevent cuts from the raw edge. If the seller would include enough rubber grommets for the top and bottom of the unit it would be much better. I use these inside and they scratch my floor. Will have to locate extras. All in all, these are still much cheaper than the ones we have gotten from K-9 Kennel Store so will probably buy again.

So happy with this purchase. It arrived earlier than expected and everything was in the box and undamaged. Easy to assemble. Followed the instructions and set up was complete within 45 minutes. Well built and sturdy construction. The top canopy is included which is a great bonus to protect from the elements.

Easy to put together
