MidWest Homes for Pets Universal Pet Playpen Extension Kit, 2-Panel, 30-Inch, 24x30 Inch

This dog playpen extension kit adds two panels to an existing pen, each 24 inches wide and 30 inches high. Together the pair gives 48 inches of width and 30 inches of height, which works out to about 4 square feet of extra living area. The set contains two panels, four thumb-snaps and two ground stakes, and it is not a complete exercise pen on its own.

Adding the panels to an existing pen

The two panels join a playpen with the four thumb-snaps supplied in the kit, and two ground stakes push into the ground for outdoor setups. MidWest Homes for Pets states that assembly needs no tools.

The panels are made of black woven polyethylene and vinyl-coated polyester. The kit can be set up indoors or outdoors, where it adds play space or extends the fencing so an area can be closed off.

Does it fit your playpen?

The panels are built for standard 30-inch wire pet playpens and dog pens, and the manufacturer says they fit most brands. Measure the height of your pen before ordering, since the panels are 30 inches high and the pair adds 48 inches of width.

Only two panels come with this extension kit, so a complete exercise pen needs to be bought separately.

How the panels work with your pen
