Heavy Duty Fully Collapsible Powder-Coated Aluminum Dog Crate - Large (Black)

Very good crate to contain my German shepherd. Prevents tooth damage. Very pleased with this item

One of our dogs is a 63lb rescue who wasn't crate trained (and didn't want to be). He would get into things (garbage, food, M&Ms, etc) and ruin things when we were gone (i.e. scratch doors & window sills, chew blankets). He knocked screens out and escaped from our RV twice while traveling. He broke out of the folding wire crates easily and chewed through (!!!) a $250, THICK, composite plastic crate. Imagine coming home from work to a possible vet visit (and bill) almost every day! This crate has changed all our lives. He is SAFE now when we're at work and on the road. It has the perfect amount of room for him, it's secure (we don't even have to additionally lock it - though we could), and it's not too difficult to manage folding down. I'm so glad this company offered this crate for this price. It's a lot of money, but WORTH it compared to the alternatives.

Edit to add:Even after reinforcing with extra hardware my dog still managed to pull the panel down such that the metal tore and he cut himself getting out. There is a major design flaw with the back panel where a dog has enough material to grab onto and pull it down. My dogs cut could have been much worse.I reached out to Epoch Design and their solutions are for me to spend more money on a replacement panel, buy another crate from them, or to buy a crate from a different company. Seriously, one of their solutions is to go to a different manufacturer. Don’t waste your money on this crate, it’s garbage quality, very dangerous, and Epoch does not stand behind its quality.My 50 lb Brittany broke out of this on day two. Bent the back panel down. The only thing securing the back panel on the top are the latches. For the cost of this kennel, I should not have to reinforce it at all. If I can’t return this then I’ll need to add hardware along any panel that can be bent down like this.

We received these kennels a few days ago and immediately fell in love. Our dogs have separation anxiety when we leave, and have destroyed a lot of things in the past when we didn't have a kennel. We left the home alone the very first day in the to go do some grocery shopping and they did amazing. We also left for a trip to Austin to see our baby in the nicu and was gone for about 9 hours, came home and they were great. They love them and will even go lay down during the day when they don't even need to be in them. I could not be more happier with my purchase. I will always recommend these kennels for anyone who is looking for a safe space for their furbabies.

Looks like a good and sturdy kennel. Unfortunately it was damaged in the transport and I didn’t see damage until it was fully assembled. I will repurchase it again.

Great crate for strong dogs who are escape artists. I should have started with this one. If I had I would not have spent and wasted over $400 on wire and heavy duty "rust resistant" crates previously. The "rust resistant" coating lasted less than a year before the crate was completely coated with rust. Powder coating surfaces are far superior.

Wowzers! This kennel is one tough cookie! Our dog who could easily escape, and bloodily injure herself, from standard kennels could not escape or harm herself with this kennel. It’s not too hard to take apart and put back together. We use it in our house and camper and must break it down and put up back up often. I am happy we didn’t spend $1000+ on similar options. This one works great!

Compared to the more expensive similar options, this is a nice crate. It was easy to put together and move. The issue we had was the lack of air flow. Even with a fan going in the front and back our puppy was getting too hot, so we decided to return.
