If you're wondering about the sturdiness of the Lyromix 7.5×7.5FT Outdoor Dog Kennel, there are a few things to keep in mind. It turns out, the actual size might be smaller than expected—around 6×6 feet instead of the advertised 7.5×7.5 feet. I can imagine that could be a letdown if you're limited on space or have specific size needs.
When it comes to the build quality, there are some mixed findings. It's been noted that the chain link mesh usually tangles and might not hold up well over time unless reinforced. Plus, the door hinges might not be secure enough, allowing particularly strong or determined dogs to find a way out.
Bigger or very active dogs might push the limits of this kennel, and even smaller pets have managed to escape through gaps sometimes. So, just relying on the kennel's built-in features might not cut it for every dog.
Now, the manufacturer does say it uses a galvanized steel pipe frame with extra ties, aiming for sturdiness. But, based on our research, these features might not be enough if you've got a very rambunctious dog. You might end up needing to reinforce it yourself or even look at other kennel options if you want something really robust.
So, before you buy, it's a good idea to think about your dog's behavior and your space constraints. You might find yourself needing to make a few adjustments to this setup if durability and accurate dimensions are a big deal for you.
Considering other options or planning some modifications might be worth your time.
