Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read the 1-3 star reviews before purchasing. It arrived earlier today. I just finished setting it up and let my 3 month old puppy try it out. She loves it. Let's get down to the basics. Reviewer says: It's too short. The description does say 24 inches tall. It's for small dogs. I knew that. And if my puppy happens to clear the top rail, I'll add something to deter it from happening again. Reviewer says: It Rusts and Gets Dull After Several Months. So hit it with some anti-rust paint, and reassemble once dry. That's what I'm going to do. Reviewer says: The pins bend after disassembly and reassembly. Maybe for you, but my yard is riddled with mole tunnels. With very little effort, I sunk a pin all the way down into the ground easier than a knife cutting butter. But if you have normal or clay hard dirt, run out to the hardware store and get some very long nails or something. I'm sure a clerk can offer a solution. Reviewer says: The gates are designed poorly and fail to remain shut. I've not seen an issue. Maybe you installed it backwards. Have the edge rings on the inside, all around. But, if it becomes an issue for me, I'll fasten a gate lock. But, to be honest, I'll probably just use a bungee cord. Hey, this is only a 2 foot fence anyway. Make the gates permanently locked with zip ties. It's not like you can't step over the fence. I bought this for based on 2 things. #1 It's cheaper than fencing in a section of yard. #2 It serves the basic function of giving my puppy a little space to play while I'm outside. I wouldn't let my puppy remain in the area unmonitored. I know the fence doesn't sit flush to the ground. I know that dogs like to dig. And I know they like to jump. That said, it's a safe space for my puppy. Here's how I look at it. The cost to fence in my yard ($1300+) if I did it is too high, and I can't do it alone, nor do I even have the equipment or the experience. Hiring a fence company to install a fence ($3500) is a solution, but that price. Buying this cheap metal fence ($133) and modding it to fit my needs. Seriously, what do you expect for a fence that costs less than $150. And from a woodworking stand point, this has far more possibilities. There are only two reasons I can think of as to why someone might give less than 3 stars for this product. #1 Didn't get all the pieces. #2 Product was bent. Aside from that, this is a 5-Star product. And mine came in great condition with all the parts. It even came with lots of bubble wrap for hours of entertainment. This was super easy to assemble. And while the picture makes it look bigger than it is, it's big enough for my puppy. Update: Add a thick ziptie to the hinge of the gate. If you're not dense, you might be able to get it right the first time. Fence has 2 gates. Why? Who knows. I personally don't use the gates. Remember, its only 2 feet tall. You can step over it. You can just reach down and grab your pet. That's what I do.
