Performance notes

The 60 by 60 inch octagonal footprint at 30 inches tall gives small dogs noticeably more room than the 24 inch panel pens in this roundup, and the single-door snap closure design keeps things simple compared to multi-latch systems, though the tradeoff is a bit more weight at nearly 20 pounds.
