Non-rusting critter pen

Replacing our rusting wire pen/cage we use for our dogs when camping with a new one made of substantial all-plastic parts. Very well made with a handier door than the all wire designs. Not much lighter than an equivalent sized wire version, though (30 lbs for the 8 panel version.)

Using 2 of the 8 panels inside our 21 as a divider to keep the dogs off the bed.

It says it is black electrocoated steel. I see they do have plastic ones, though, did you maybe link the wrong one?

My problem with the plastic is how much thicker they are to store on the road.

Yup, I put up the wrong link. This is the correct one:

Dog Pens: Iris 4-Panel and 8-Panel Indoor/Outdoor Pens

Would an admin please replace the link in post #1 on this thread?

That's a nice one. I'll have to compare weights with mine. They aren't too badly rusted- mostly because I've used them outside here instead of just for camping, anyway.

To get the weight of whatever one you choose requires you call the company and ask as weight is not listed on the website.
