| Ours is 36" high. One suggestion. ALWAYS use the door to put your baby in and out. If he's never lifted over the side he won't see that as a means of escape. Good luck and post pics when your baby gets home!!!

| Ours is 36 inches and there is no way she can get out. I do use the door and the other night for the first time she was able to scoot past me and she was loose for the very first time. It was very scarey because she didn't come but played a catch me if you can game. I was so afraid that she was going to run into the street (which she didn't). I was finally able to lure her back into the house with her favorite treat. I now know that Piper can run like the wind. Just be careful with the door they are quick.

My ex pen is only 24" tall. My dog has never gotten out of it but sometimes he jumps high and it scares me. I wish I had got a 36" pen. Just wanted to add that I got my ex pen at Petsmart but they are much cheaper on eBay, even factoring in the shipping. I wish I'd thought to look on eBay first.

| I have always used the gate to put Laddy in and out of his 36 inch high xpen and he still figured out how to climb up the sides and over the top to escape. I think some dogs are just more athletic when it comes to escaping lol. |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Be very careful I can't use these as my Yorkie climbs straight up the sides and over the top. I was afraid she'd fall and hurt herself so I put it away, it was great for our last dog though.

| Mine has arrived and I have it set up already..even though Bailey doesn't arrive for another week! I have it set up so that the opening of the Xpen joins my Kitchen, I figure it's better to have him in the kitchen area at first when he is out of the pen, at least if he has an accident it will be much easier to clean bare floor then carpet!
