How many panels can be linked together and still be stable enough? I currently have 10 total (with door), but want to add 2 more. Thanks.

I have only used the amount that came with the original order. I have heard from a friend he increased there unit to 10.

I read it was only for 8 panels. I believe it comes with 6 then the two additional. Eight was sturdy for us. If 10 is working I say go for it. If you get the additional two and it doesn't work for you you can always return them. :) Good luck!!

Honestly, I have not tried...so I can't say 100%. But the way the whole thing collapses and folds together, I would think you could. The strength of the unit though, is in the shape; the hexagon makes for a more stable structure. I have plans to add 2 more panels, but I believe those will connect at the opening that is currently there. I wish I could be of more help.

Shouldn't be too difficult. Although I just folded a couple of sides onto each other. This way all panels are still connected yet it is quite a bit smaller. And when moved outside, no muss, no fuss all sides are still connected. EZ PZ.

I haven't assembled mine yet because I won't be needing it until the Spring, 2014. I'm only speculating to respond to your inquiry. I would imagine that the two inner panels from one set could attach to the two inner panels from another set. But one set of the outer panels will NOT be able to attach due to there's only one side of the outer panel that has where the long screws could link together.

Panels can be added or subtracted, can be configured in the zig-zag (as shown) or in a U-shape depending on the space you need to block off.Works quite well with my two small dogs (approx 20# each); a large dog could probably knock it over or paw open a panel at the end. Ours is installed in the opening between the breakfast room and family room; we get compliments on it from visitors.

I have 2 lined up also. Just make sure you don't hang too much weight from them, as 3 might encourage you to store more on top! And as the other comment indicated, hitting the center of the framing is critical. Have fun!

Yeah agree with previous. I personally would use at least 3 to support that much weight but it would be inconvient to close. How they are mounted would be critical also

The panels are each assembled. Just have to screw them together. I assembled it alone, but a second set of hands would probably make it easier. Instructions tell you to nail/tack the bottom of the panels to the base framing. Didn't hold. Use some deck screws, much more secure. It arrives on a pallet. Definitely predrill all screw holes. Lightweight wood splits easily if you don't.

yes - each panel can be removed from the rest - so you can add as many as you want.

There are eight panels that fit together a specific way...they don't mix and match. They are numbered on the back to help you make sure you put them together correctly. Each panel is a little over 4 feet tall and a little over 3 feet wide. There is a top row of 4 and a bottom row of 4.... again they go together in a specific order. They were very easy to hang. I actually got two sets and even though they aren't made to fit together, I was able to join them by overlapping "left over" pieces to make an almost perfect transition from one set to the other (None of my friends can figure out where they are joined!). I love the way it looks! There are eight panels that fit together a specific way...they don't mix and match. They are numbered on the back to help you make sure you put them together correctly.

Yes, that's what we did... just orient the panels correctly and there is no end to how many 6-panel sets you can attach; it's better to have a few spare panels anyway in case you want to modify the play-yard. Another tip: We recommend that you angle the corners where the panels meet (sort of like in the main product photo), so it is more stable... keeping multiply connected panels in a straight position is not as stable and will bend when baby leans on it; an alternative is to fasten the panels to wall and/or floor.

Hi Gayle, I have one 8-panel set for my 30 lb dog, who isn't a jumper & doesn't try to escape. It works great for her. She leans on it sometimes & the walls support her weight with a little bend (which totally normal since it's supported by itself). In theory, yes, you would be able to put 2 sets of 8-panels together because the connecting joints are all uniform. However, please note that the walls have some give and I think that connecting 16 panels together may put too much strain on the walls and it might just tip over, especially if you have a larger dog (who jumps). Hope that helps!

Yes. We have 3 panels connected together and it has not demonstrated any signs of buckling ( up to 175 pounds) when we have stood on it. This has been great for our use in our garage.

I purchased the six panel. Since I have an open concept kitchen I'll use 4 panels on one side of my island and 2 on the other to keep my dogs confined while I'm away. I sometimes use 4 panels rather than 6 to create a smaller pen. I love the having different options.

It looks like it! the pieces fit together like legos or tinker toys. If you but 2 sets you'd have 2 doors/gates, thoug and i think you can order additional sections separately. If I were you I'd get one set to start and then decide if you need to add on.

Yes you will need 4 panels to do so but there will be a gap on the sides near the poles as the picture shows. The hooks only attach to the frame but it can be done.

I have added 4 more solar panels to mine for a total of 8. I hook my 8 panels together in two groups of 4 then to the generator. not sure if you can put more than 4 together and still be efficient. The generator only has two connectors for the panels, so two sets of 4 works well for me.
