I have had six of these for two years and I really like them. They are durable and well built. I have been very happy with mine price and all. Dave

I have the heavy duty welded wire10x10x6kennels from tsc theynwere 500$ apiece.I liken them but they claim they, are powder coated.wrong powder coating does not come off and rust,had to replace 3 panels in 5 years due to rusted out where male urinated on them,my kennels are cleaned everyday! They would be the cats meow if they were actually powder coated.but still nice I guess for the money

I built my own.
10' v 10' x 6' out of treated lumber and 2 x 2 welded-wire fence.
I've got about $250.00 into each one.

I think the kennels you are talking about for 330 are the akc kennels, my nephew bought two of these a few years ago and they are nice but the are not rigid as they come in 5 feet sections and clamp together making them a little squirrely if you don't tighten the clamps extra tight. My other nephew bought 1 of the heavy duty welded wire for 500$ and used the front panel with the single door as a divider to make 2 kennels. He special ordered a 2 door front panel from TSC for about 200$ and used this on the front . I think this makes a much nicer kennel and its very rigid too.

If you go this route make sure to tell the person that takes your order to make a note to tell the company to make sure they send the clamps for the panel. We did this and we did get the clamps.

I have them for three pens but i got them on sale for 269 a year ago. As far as the clamps go i drilled a hole and ran a nut and bolt thru to sturdy th panels up. The welded wire Bob is talking about works very well also.

Option Plus Kennels in Ohio. Bar none, the best people, prices and quality. Tractor Supply stuff is junk.
