Came in the mail fast and my pups love it

The kennel itself was great but the top was not strong. I purchased this kennel to prevent a dog from jumping out of the top. Said dog jumped and busted the screen first try. We ended up using a tarp. If you have a jumping dog this kennel is not recommended as a secure system.

Tarp was easy for the dog to get out.

Sets up easy. My dog is too old to climb out. For a more energetic dog either put the cover on (my kennel is inside) or get a taller kennel if you an escape artist.

Quality panels. The shade top is pretty much useless though.

Way to small, with a dog house inside there is no room, with measurements I thought it would be way bigger. The top tarp is see through and doesn’t keep sun out.

I was using 2 kennels and 2 dog doors. With this I can keep all 4 dogs contained when we are at work. They have tons of room and can come in or out as they please. Best part is, I can easily clean inside their kennel without being a contortionist! Love this!!

Worked out perfect for me. It was exactly what was advertised. I purchased the extra panels because I wanted it bigger. I was able to assemble it myself with no problem at all. I’m a 63 year old lady.

I was shorted two nuts but other than that the cage is fine. Only problem is the dog digs his way out and tries to get out the top as well. Would be a good cage for a small dog, not so much for a large dog.

easy to set up

Quality kennel. Easy assembly. I bought it for my great dane for indoor use. I purchased the extension panels to make it 7.5 x7.5. That said he is very well behaved and does not jump or push on the panels. A determined dog would be able to push this around and get out as it doesnt bolt to floo

Easy to build

Overall, it’s a good product. I would have perfected a solid cover instead of mesh.

Easy to assemble! Study construction.

Had the kennel for two hours before my dog dragged it across the room, chewed out the mesh top and jumped out ruining my house. Thought this kennel was sturdy enough, I was completely wrong. I would NOT recommend this product to others.

We bought the kennel for our malamute to confine him after ACL surgery. It was perfect for him. Enough room to move around and small enough to keep him confine. Very easy to assemble.

The kennel panels work perfectly for my pet needs. Very high quality product!

Easy to assemble and nice size kennel

Assembly was easy, but needs a socket wrench. Regular wrench won’t fit

It is bigger than I wanted, but it seemed to be hard to find a good 4x4. It is well built and all the parts were in the package. I ordered a different kennel from a large discount retailer and that one came with the hardware missing. I sent it back and got this one. I am glad I did.

This needs the ZERO STARS option. Missing parts. You call manufacturer and the missing parts take weeks to arrive. Once it was put together it lasted 2 hours before our 45 pound dog bent and broke the kennel. Waste of time, waste of money.

Over-all I love this fencemaster Cottageview kennel. It was exceptionally easy to put together. The only disappointment was that top cover is not made with a heavier material as it is netted and will not keep your pet dry from rain etc. I am using mine as a catio.

Ordered two and set up was easy and fence is sturdy. Live in a townhouse with fencing restrictions and built a deck enclosed and ramp going into run from deck. No more walks unless we want to walk. Great area to go and then up to the deck to chill out.for the dogs.

Took less than an hour to assemble. Seems to be well built. One person can put it together, but it goes smoother with a helper. No quality issues noted.

I have 3 of these now, I love them, They hold up to my rambuncious dobermans easily. I do use them inside the garage with a doggie door in each to an outside run that is 5 X10. It is a perfect set up for when I have to leave the girls home, and be gone for a longer time than usual.

This kennel is incredibly well made! It was purchased for one medium size cat but could probably hold a wild boar. It was well packaged, with all parts intact. I was able to put it together easily (I am a 74 year old woman), and am very pleased with it. The less expensive kennels had questionable reviews...you get what you pay for! This kennel has exceeded my expectations.

The only thing I was disappointed in was the top cover tried to order a bigger top cover for it and found it discontinued.
