Absolutely perfect for a portable back yard area! Easy to take down and store during hurricane season for me. My 4 bully mixes absolutely love the extra play room. They can also have play dates with other pups in a secure, safe space. I originally put 4 of these together for a larger space. Purchasing a 5th one now to change panels out and repaint the original ones. They do rust in certain areas—nothing some spray paint can’t remedy.
