| Iris playpen top ideas for climbers/other pen recs? Hello all!! I'm happy to report that I'm finally getting my baby next month. She's a Rigair baby, ( so blessed to have found them they're such great breeders )She will be 5 months old and I have searched her for almost 2 years! Anyway I'm starting to buy things in preparation for her arrival. I do work full-time so I want to get her a playpen. The plan at the moment, is to crate train her when I'm home but when I'm not home I don't feel comfortable keeping her in a crate. Anyway I really like the iris playpens. The 4- panel one seem a little bit short to me so I've been looking at the 36 inch 8 panel ones. Concern I have is a lot of people complain that their dog was able to climb out of them. I know iris sells the mesh top for the 4 panel but it had some complaints. I know some people are super creative, so just wondering if anyone has a 36 inch 8 panel one and figured out a way to make a more secure top for it? Also open to other suggestions for other types of pens. Im also considering the Carlson convertible pet gate but I'm concerned about how it moving around on a laminate floor. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated! |

| I love the Iris pen! People are always wanting to borrow it! I think they make a top cover for it also. You can look at their web site.

| Yep Cali cleared the top of the once I had too, but I got the cover and that stopped that! Those little critters are very creative!

| We have the Richell convertible indoor/outdoor pen. It's expandable and can be configured different ways. There are two heights: we bought the tall one. Our Yorkie is a "jumper" and he hasn't cleared it yet. It's such a "fortress" that we have no worries leaving him during the day. It's pricey, but what value do you put on peace of mind? |
