I want to use this as a puppy pen. Can I use this in a U shape and have the two ends against the wall? Hope the description /question makes sense!!

You can, but you would have to attach it with something or the puppy could push it out from the wall and escape!

No, this cannot be bent into a U shape. I just tried mine out to be sure-it only bends into a "z" zigzag shape. The purpose of this "Z" shape is to help it stay standing up, I think. Long story short, the two ends bend in the opposite direction of one another.

You could probably do it. It works well for my two small dogs. There would probably be a bit of a gap where assuming you have baseboards or some kind of trim around the floor.

Yes you can. However if it is not attached at both ends, your puppy could easily knock it over. I have a 4 year old 8 lb. dachshund and she can clear it with NO PROBLEM.

Yes you can and it has two side doors you can unzip and leave open. Love these puppy play pens!

The sides have a special velvety non slip surface which is not ideal for paper and pen writing. I suppose you could put a smooth surface under your paper. I love this lap desk for my Mac. I have closed the Mac and written on top of that in the past.

I have to say "no." This playpen is designed for small breed puppies/dogs. There is plenty of room for a small breed puppy/dog but a larger puppy/dog would have a hard time fitting through the door. A large puppy/dog would destroy this playpen in no time flat. A large puppy/dog would probably flip this over; and the mesh top would not keep the dog in the playpen. I have a small Yorkie and this playpen is just perfect for her (with plenty of room to sleep and play).

I have no ideal. I have it on outdoor tile, as well as cardboard. I use my as a puppy pen. I would suggest either cardboard or a carpet of some sort under the pen so it would not move around. If you are looking to put a walking toddler in the pen, I WOULD NOT. It is not that safe. Also the bolts in the joints are not worth the money put into them. They are hard to work, and do not work well. We actually removed them, and the pen works better without them. Hope this helps in your decision.Sharon in Tucson,AZ

I think this pen is not the best design for your purpose. It isn't so easy to put up and take down. I do love it, but it stayed up for my puppy.

I don't think I've seen any that would be--it's a nice compact little pen for bantams, but it is not really expandable unless you want to build something to fit. I have attached a child play yard to mine using zip ties and some extra 2"x4" welded wire, and that worked well for young chickens (about 2 months old at the time), but they simply grew out of it quite fast. The only thing I'm considering using it for now is a broody hen pen.

I have 4 sides and have configured them into a square to create a crate/pen (without a roof). If you describe how you plan to configure it and what your plan for it's use it that would be helpful, plus how big is your dog and how determined and strong is it?

If you are refering to the Precision Hen House that is built off the ground, I'm not sure. It might be a good idea to contact the company with this question. One end of the pen can be detatched,so that the end is open. And the pen could possibly be connected to an opening in the "Hen House" pen.

Actually, it does not collapse easily at all. Unfortunately, if your puppy is a jumper like ours then you won't want to get this play pen at all. At 12 wks old our German shephed puppy was able to jump over a 4 ft gate so it didn't surprise me that he tried to jump over this 40 inch playpen. In his attempt, he managed to get his foot stuck in between two of the panels and I found him hanging by his foot struggling and crying. His foot was so jammed between the two slots that it took quite a bit of force to get his foot out. By the time I managed to get his foot out it was swollen twice the size and his was unable to walk on it. This resulted in a first trip to the emergency room for my puppy.

Yes, absolutely...like others mentioned before, it is heavy, but can be bundled in several bundles and is easy enough to move that way. We have three sets to combine for a bigger play area, you can make it as large or as small as you like. We just love this pen...at least for smaller dogs or puppies, or for dogs that won't jump the fence.

yes there should be plenty of room for what you want to do i just got the IRIS pen for my teddy bear puppy who is coming soon. I know a breeder who uses it for when she has a group of little puppies. I got the two panels that you can add to it because i want mine to be in the shape of a rectangle for my one puppy with her crate and her litter tray for indoor potty training. Her water bottle with connect to the sides of the pen and food bowl on the floor. There will be room for her to move about and play with her toys.

If you put it as part of the original pen set the geometry makes it difficult to move ( my son sic till he was one and a half). If you wall mount it you won't have any issues. If you are using the 2 panels by themselves heavy or not, they'll hardly be stable.

I'd say no. I haven't tried to do anything like that myself, but this thing is pretty self-contained and there's really nowhere to tie anything into unless you want to put holes in the fabric of this pen. If you do that I'm pretty sure it will have a negative effect on the integrity and durability of the pen.

Yes this will work and you will have two 5 pannel pens. They are easy to hook together. You will just have to "lift" one dog into the pen as you will only have one door. Both pens will be the same size as the door pannel is the same size. They will be more of a circle shape with the 5 pannels.

Not much flexibility. If you don't get a good fit, one point wont be as strong and then it is not a sturdy fit. I noticed this with my wall. I have a section that must be off a bit and the top two points dont reach the wall, even though the bottom points do. It wont shut in that area.

It's designed for a corner and that's really where you should use it. There are MANY models out there to be used flush against the wall, I suggest you get one of those. This piece is for a corner.
