PawHut Large Dog Kennel Outside, Heavy Duty Dog Cage, Outdoor Fence Dog Run with Galvanized Chain Link, Secure Lock, 13.1' x 7.5' x 6'

We ordered this kennel to make a catio and I was pleasantly surprised to receive the packages for it over a week early!! Me and my husband put it together ourselves in about 4 hours or so and it was a pretty simple and straightforward build. The most tedious part was unrolling the chain link and getting that pulled tight and hooked up. It’s definitely not the most sturdy thing on the planet but it’s sturdiness still exceeded my expectations. We plan on putting a tin roof on it and making a small patio area inside. Honestly all around it’s an awesome product in our book.

Well...it is the size they advertised. Im not overly impressed, but not fully disappointed either. I have not been able to complete the instal because of missing parts, but here are likes and dislikes at this point:LIKES: 1. On time 2. Price point 3. Size I needed 4. Seems fairly sturdyDISLIKES: 1. Missing parts (still waiting for replacement parts) 2. Instruction pretty vague 3. The chain link fencing comes strangely rolled and was a pain to install, you WILL need two peopleThe customer service of the company was helpful, but I am still waiting to see if I actually receive my missing parts. They said 5-10 days...this is the 8th day. I am not sure how it will do to contain my dogs because I have not been able to complete the instal...but my dogs have been keeping an eye on the process and Im pretty sure they are just laughing at me. We shall see!!UPDATE: Well...NEVER received my parts. My experience with this product and the "service" that comes along with it has been SO frustrating! Made/attempted contact with the company multiple times. They were always very nice, but didnt come through. I finally broke down an bought parts at my local hardware store. Finished getting it together 2 months after starting the project. It took my dogs 1 week to figure out that the chain link on the gate was weak crap and they busted out! Currently working on a modification plan. This is the cheapest piece of garbage. DO NOT BUY THIS TRASH. I have a 50 lb Catahoulla and a 30 lb heeler...they scoff at this so called "dog run".Aosom Direct is the company that sold me this product...and promised me missing parts...TWICE...and wont return my emails. TERRIBLE customer service, TERRIBLE product!

I was not prepared for the 6 hours it would take and the need for 3-4 people the assemble this kennel. The fencing which was precut too small for the door needed to have additional rows added in which was very time consuming. The metal rods to attach the fencing were not user friendly. We ended up using zip ties only. The self tapping screws were difficult to use and an impact wrench is needed as holes are not pre drilled. The tarp for the roof is not very good quality. Some hardware was missing for the latch. Once assembled, it was as shown in the picture and acceptable but be prepared!

We bought this for our 2 German Shepherd/Dalmatian puppies. The structure is very sound! However, our boys love to dig. So I must say, we've had to figure out a flooring solution for this kennel.I bought this because it came with a shade cover. We live in the desert and our boys need shade. We built this kennel the first part of October and by the beginning of December the cover had disintegrated. We didn't even make it to our hot weather. Customer service was a delight to work with. They made everything right!I will also add, I would suggest buying stainless steel zip ties (our boys chew the plastic ones) to secure the fencing instead of using what they provide. Unless of course, you're a professional. We are not.

The media could not be loaded.  The kennel it self is good but the roof not good we got rain yesterday and the roof fell in there is no support for the roof only has one poll across top and 2 little pools that run from top to kennel it holds water because of the bad design. This is what I woke up to this morning after the rain

Comes with plenty of fence length (about 10 inches extra with a semi loose fit) and a couple extra nuts and bolts. Lots of wire to tie fence to posts, I still added some just for better anti dig ability. Fence its self is thinner chain link, but plenty strong enough to keep a mid size dog in. Could hold in a larger dog from leaning on it if used twice as many metal wire ties. Over all weight of assembled fence is 3-4 person job to move it. It does have a single screw on top and bottom clamps of the vertical rails for anti tilting when pushing against the vertical posts, I will eventually drill those out and put in a ¼" bolt all they way through but it works as is for now. I added X braces via ratchet straps on all 4 sides makes it much less floppy but still a good purchase as it was. I did not use the zip ties that it came with for the door fence part, I used the metal wires instead. Size can be configured to about 14x16 feet or 15x15 feet or 6x24 feet about due to how the frame is made with slip joints. I went with the 14x16 size. Frame could be designed better with the push buttons for the frame rotated 90 degrees so they are horizontal with the world, as the are now the one side of the double push buttons per joint is facing the ground and thus the ground is pressing the button in. What can you expect for such a good cheap price and large area. I would buy again and recommend it to anyone, I tied the top with metal wires at 1 every 4th chain link hole then the bottom is tied every other chain link hole and 4 or so ties up the vertical poles. Then put the 16 foot ratchet straps with fabric loops around the frame corners and X braced all 4 sides, two would have been plenty. I then added a corner sun shade 12x12x17 or so on top. I will be adding some PVC clip on feet or something to keep the frame just a smidge off the ground so I am not grinding the frame while moving it but also to keep the bottom buttons from being pushed in while sitting on a cement surface. I wish the frame was made with a flare on one end and straight pipe on the other end, it would have made it so one could customize the length and width even more easily. I though I might need ground anchors to keep the fence from being lifted to early by the dog but the weight seems plenty for a midsize dog to not be able to lift, but they could still dig under as with any fence. 2 people could lift it, it is quite heavy then but do able.
