I choose to use this only during the day so my pets can go in and out to the porch. Is this panel easy to take out overnight or when going away?

I wouldn't recommend taking the entire thing out to go out of town I can imagine that would be easy but they do make a security bar to put the bottom

Yes. It comes out easily enough. If you do it daily it might be more likely to break though. I would just put a bar in the door overnight and put in the block for the pet door though. Trips when you take your pet with you or board it/them would be easy to take the door out for.

For mine to stay in I actually ended up screwing it in to the top of the sliding door frame for stability. It definitely took about 30 min to get it situated the first time that I installed it and it is not something that i would continually move in and out. It would be possible but a big hassle. It would be much easier to insert the panel.

It would be primarily a pain but certainly possible...The underlying question is why? The door comes with a blank panel that is easy to install and remove as needed to keep out unwanted guests and inclement weather

The panel is not difficult to remove, and also comes with a slide in panel for the dog door itself that would allow you to close it overnight.

There's a little panel you can insert that seals off the flap so they can't go in or out. You don't have to remove the door

I don't close it too often...my cat would go crazy....but when I have used it its VERY easy. Just slide the little panel that covers the flap up and out.

It is open. The space is filled in with the trundle when closed but there is no solid panel to block it from view or keep out, say, cats. :)

The doors on both side open just like a regular door. I leave them open everyday and my bird will sit on the top of the door. The front and back clear panels come out very easily. I take the front panel off all day for my bird for him to have some freedom and room. I love this cage. Very easy to clean. Take off the front panel, clean the grate, pull out the tray ( I put paper towels on the tray) Fresh food and water and done. It takes no more than a minute to clean.

I find it easy to move. The panels that fit into the space of the window opening are easy to adjust. I live in Texas and this is a fantastic way to cool a single room.

It is possible to leave it on 24/7. The only disadvantage would be a higher power bill as it would continuously draw power. I usually turn it off at night though.

I've never left it overnight, but it comes with two window sides and two all white sides. I hope this helps!

It all locks up tight. I have raccons and opossums in my back yard, and my chickens are safe. Its not very weather resitant, when it rains the door for the chickens swells and is so hard to open and close. It got very annoying for me trying to close it up at night, i just gave up and left it open. But my chicken coop is inside of a dog run, which i found to be a better saftey option, and they cant eat my olants while i am away.

This is a lightweight, easy to assemble crate. You should not place it in the bed of a pick up truck as it could shift and/or fly away. It's easy to get out of the back seat because it is soft sided and will give if crammed against the seat when removing. I had 2 of these in the back seat of my Toyota Solara, and it was pretty easy to remove and pour back in the car. I bought mine 4 years ago, and they are still going strong.. I would recommend these roomy crates to anyone. If you are planning on using them for a dog, he may be able to chew the fabric. I would recommend for cats or small dogs.

I did not bolt my in so I could easily remove it for cleaning. I have two dogs that use the door, including a large and clumsy standard poodle, and I have not had problems with the panel remaining in place.

It is easy to take off the tank, and the top latch door is fairly large so its easy to get in. It may catch little feet though, especially considering the quality of the mesh wire can be shotty. I had a dwarf hamster in it and he was okay feet wise.

It's solar but I think that I have the switch set to either "on" or "auto". It goes off during the day and on at night. We have the solar panel up on our roof so it gets as much sun as possible during the day. Looks awesome strung in our Oak tree in our backyard at night from our windows.

I take it out. Really easy to slip out through the window, and slip back in.

You can leave plugged in 24/7. Only operates when unit receives D C power from panel and A. C. power from grid

Mine is inside my daughters room. The fabric is strong, but I wouldn't leave it outside 24/7. hanging it up when you want to use it is more feasible. Hope this helps!!

When I'm home I just put he door in without screwing it in. This way I can easily take it out at night. But when I left for a couple days, I bolted it in for security purposes.

The panel needs to be in the sun or it needs to be connected to another energy source. If it is inside, let it sit under a bright light for a while to allow. Without some source of energy the lights will be out.

We have a paneled door, too. I could not get any one interested in this household to try to install so lost my temper and gave the door away. Now I am not responsible for opening the glass doors leading to the yard when the doggies want out. How is that for a solution.
