MidWest Homes for Pets 42-Inch iCrate Folding Dog Crate with Divider Panel Leak-Proof Tray Secure Latches Metal Wire

Bought this crate to keep blackbirds, grackles, groundhogs, and the local squirrels from hogging the oilers and peanuts. Within 30 minutes the tufted titmice, chickadees, nuthatches, and various sparrow species had figured it out. They are busy flitting in and out grabbing the seeds and nuts. The bar spaces on this crate are perfect size for smaller birds. Eastern Bluebirds and Carolina Wrens are also able to enter the crate. The Blue Jays, Red-bellied Woodpeckers and Mourning Doves can't enter, but there's plenty for them at the other feeders. They are larger and can muscle in with the squirrels and blackbirds. Crate was super easy to set up. No tools required, anyone can do this. Just slide it out of the box and start lifting the panels. You'll see that the main sides fold up into a rectangle. The ends then are folded up and snapped into place. Door has top and bottom latches. More than adequate to prevent squirrels from figuring out how to open the crate door. And if they do, a wire or carabineer will secure it easily. It took longer to carry the packaged crate 100 feet to the patio than to set it up. Seems well built for our purpose. Cannot attest to dog, cat, bunny, etc pet use. We have an AC cover to keep the snow/ ice off the crate (we live in upper Great Lakes). We don't expect the crate to last forever as we are leaving it outside. It looks like it will still last several years outdoors, especially if we cover it. Curious raccoons may investigate so we'll be sure to empty the pan before dark. Fortunately, no Black Bears in our area. We really like that the pan is convenient to slide in and out and it is made of a resin material. Very sturdy. We are impressed so far with the crate. For the price, it's a good buy and helpful addition to our bird feeding hobby. Read more

This crate looks and feels really solid. I got the 24.8-inch one, and it fits my puppy’s bed perfectly with just a little extra room left over. For a small dog, it’s a great size, cozy but not cramped. It came with clear, easy to follow instructions, but honestly, most people could probably set it up without even reading them. The latch feels secure and sturdy, not cheap or flimsy like some other crates I’ve seen. My puppy went in on his own the first time without any training, which tells me it feels comfortable and safe for him. For $36, it’s hard to beat the quality and value. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something simple, durable, and easy to put together. Read more

This crate is great! It assembles easily and you can quickly collapse it for transporting or storing it, if necessary. It holds up well. And the door is secure but easy to open and lock closed. The only slight drawback is the removable plastic liner. It is very slippery and even when I put a doggy blanket in there my girl was sliding on it. Since I use it in the back of my SUV when I take her places, this was an issue. BUT I fixed that by putting a small, outdoor doormat in it. The kind that is made of rubber but has a woven top. It fits perfectly in the bottom on top of the existing liner and it is also easily removed and washed. AND it gives her the traction she needs when in the crate. Read more

Plenty of room for my dog to sleep. Easy to put together and much bigger than my old crate. My dog hasn't had any accidents in it yet so I can't tell if it's waterproof or not. Read more

This kennel is absolutely massive and works amazing for our three dogs! Our 3 big dogs fit perfectly with lots of extra space all together in this kennel! It is so easy to put together and it is very durable! We use the top for storage as well and have never seen a single bend in the top! The latch is sometimes difficult to get open, but not as bad as some!! You may just have to oil it every once in a while!! But overall this is great for very big dogs, or multiple dogs!!! Read more

Super easy to assemble and is holding up well. My dog is about 30 lbs and fits great in here. I liked how affordable it was, I could not even find a used one this size for as cheap! The latch is easy to use and holds shut. Read more
