Lucky Dog Modular Box Kennel w/Roof and Cover (6'H x 10'L x 5'W); 207 lbs

Overall, I really like these kennels. Assembly of the panels themselves was not too bad, but it does take two people to put them up (one to hold the panels and one to secure them together). The roof frame was the hardest part, as you have to build it on top of the kennel after you have already assembled the entire kennel (you need at least two people and step ladders). Putting the cover on was pretty easy though. You can also buy multiple kennels and mix and match panels to build something larger or a different shape (it is very versatile).I bought 3 of these kennels to build a large (10x30) kennel for some cats we have in our rescue. The way I built my kennel, I was still able to utilize the roof frames and tarp covers, so it is still completely covered. I used another regular panel and another door panel inside the 10x30 kennel, so if needed I could shut the door and make 2 kennels (if the cats did not get along, etc.). The cats like it too, as they can go into different "rooms" and claim their preferred beds. ;)Obviously, the bigger you make the kennel, the less sturdy it is, so while 10x30 is fine for cats, something that large may not be sturdy enough for a large dog who really, really wants to get out (it would still be perfectly fine for small or medium dogs, or even large dogs who are not set on breaking out). If you buy one kennel (10x10), I would assume it would be plenty sturdy for a large dog, even if they were a little unhappy about being kenneled. I am planning to use the remaining panels as a small, temporary kennel for my 30-ish pound Pittie mix, and have no doubt he will be fine in the kennel.As far as the tarp covers, they are perfect for dogs. If you are using them for cats, you will need to ensure the tarp is tight in all places (just in case the cat wants to escape). The tarp tie-downs do a really good job with this, but I did duct tape some sections, just to be sure.I would definitely buy this product again if I ever need more kennels. Considering other types of kennels you could buy/build (chain link, etc.), this kennel is pretty easy to work with and set up. The kennel would work best on cement (for a level ground and to prevent the animals from digging); however, I had to put ours on the grass/dirt and it worked out fine. I put cider blocks in some areas to prevent digging, and so far so good. I also bought a shade tarp for one area and the company sells a weather cover that looks like a good option for the winter when it rains (I will probably be buying a few when the time comes).

Cons: The description of what I ordered was "Dog Kennel with Waterproof Cover". There was no cover included. Only one of the panels had rubber rings to protect the coating when the hardware was attached to hold the panels together. Some of the welded joints were already rusty. The packaging had rubbed some of the black coating off on wear spots.Pros: It was well packaged when it arrived. Other than the coating being damaged in a few spots the product was in good shape when it arrived. It took me less than half hour to assemble by myself. The 4x4 fits nicely in a corner of my heated garage (still plenty of room for the car). The dog seems to like it. It is much more comfortable than her crate.My old dog is having heart trouble. So, she needed enough space where she could get up and move around (and potentially have an accident and get away from it). She is a very fearful dog and gets destructive if a storm comes in so she can't have as much freedom as most dogs while I am away. This seems to be a perfect option for her. Since it is in the garage, I don't have to worry about the missing top, scratches in the coating or the rust spots as much as others might. Because it is in a corner away from windows, she seems uninterested in breaking out when she gets scared. It meets my needs so I like it.

Just assembled it today and so far am exceedingly pleased. Shipment was fast, about a week early, and professional. I was called the day before delivery to set up a delivery window and they shipped on a Saturday morning which was great (didn't have to rearrange work schedule). Enterprise moving dropped it off - quick and courteous. Assembly I did solo (average height female) and it took about 3 hrs. Probably could have been quicker without the 100F heat! I agree there are no assembly instructions for the panels (instructions were provided for the top), but I'm sure there are YouTube videos. I was accustomed to the panel assembly from purchasing a smaller similar kennel previously. It's just a series of simple brackets that hook the panels together. I found I needed: a socket wrench (I used 13mm), Phillips screwdriver, 6' ladder, and something thin and sharp to get the plastic plugs out of the frame for roof assembly (I used combo packing knife and hammer claw, probably flathead screwdriver would work). I bought it as a run for my urban silkie chickens - they are sweet but clueless ground birds that need solid overhead and surrounding protection. The $$ was about equal to paying for an actual 10'x10' chicken coop/run (or just materials) with much more modular and pack+go capability. So far they love it and I do too!All in all 5 stars. Only complaints: 1) the location of the stabilizing screw holes on the roof pipe assembly was backwards. If I had a metal-quality drill/bit I could have remedied it, but I left it as-is so the roof frame is a tad unsteady. 2) still breaks my heart to see the stickers that all the materials were manufactured in China...I will also say a big, heavy, determined dog could probably escape without adding reinforcements at the joints, but it would not be hard to hit up the hardware store and solidify the model even more.

The latches that keep the gate stuck were flimsy and bent before we even put the dogs in the cage.
