Review on ๐Ÿพ Convenient and Spacious: IRIS USA 34'' Exercise 8-Panel Pet Playpen with Door by Ian Patilla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This makes the perfect van security gate!

This is my second goal. I've had the first one since 2011 and actually use it in my van as a guard for my service dogs. I removed the middle seats on my Ford Econoline E150 and they fit perfectly, each with 2 panels with zippers and carabiners. I attach a backseat organizer to it and put toys and essentials in it (like ear cleaners, nail clippers, tick clippers, poo bags, etc.) and attach their backpacks to it for easy access. I can use a dog door or reshape the panels to fit large items in the back and use large panels for the doors. I had a collision and I have no doubt that the gate saved my dogs from injury. Only a small vertical piece of plastic broke off, but this did not affect the function. The only thing I didn't like was that it was white; just rain and mud was everywhere and it seems like I live a dirty life so I have to remove and rub it off and eventually some of the stains won't wash off. I tried spraying it a few weeks ago but it didn't work very well; I used a lot of paint and the smell didn't go away as the paint dried. I'm sorry you had to throw it away. That's why I bought brown this time. It's not exactly brown, more like a dark cherry, maybe with a hint of plum. It's a great color in the van and I like it even better than the brown I was expecting! Now I can wait for the rain to stop before cleaning the cage and it doesn't look dirty. In addition, the quality corresponds to the 2011 model, no savings were made on the material, which I really appreciate!
