I want to use this in a basement that is turning into a "dog room". The kennels have no bottoms. How will hold up to dog nails and such?

Sorry but I never received from Amazon. Did buy at Home Depot. If appled exactly as pet the direction it should hold up well. Good luck!

as long as you are not in a tight corner you should have no problem. Gun is great. Used for garage shelving, shed and porch extension. No problems. Only issue is that they do not sell the nails at your local hardware stores or at HD or Lowes. Need to order online. Not a bad deal as long as you have what you need. If you run out, you wait until the mail comes.

I don't use the stakes for the legs - it's stable without them. As for the basement - it has a large swing radius, but it would be possible with enough room.

I set my tunnel up in a hallway in the house. I put my dog in the bedroom at the entrance of the tunnel and called for her with a treat at the other end. she could not go around the tunnel, so had to come through. Worked very well. The tunnel come with stakes, so you might be able to shorten it, but it is so springy it might scare your puppy.

I would say technically yes but it's not the most stable. It's more for decoration as it's just a bunch of pieces of wood set up on and around the kennel. You could probably fortify it to be more stable

Yes it would but if she a chewers she can escape it. it not that good of a kennel. My dog pretty much ruin it day 1 Of useine it. Hope that helps.

I don't think it would be strong enough. The top part opens to put things- dog toys- inside but I don't know that I'd use it for that.

Probably not. We have reinforced with zip ties but our English Mastiff is mild mannered and even when he paws the cage in a friendly manner it shakes. If he is a rowdy dog I would go with the kennels they use in the groomers or vet...with the wheels attached. Super heavy duty. I can send you a link if you still need it. They sell them on Amazon.

I use mine for indoor and outdoor use, and it's holding up great so far. As long as your dogs won't try to tear or chew through it, I recommend the crate

Yes, the kennel is great. BUT, check out DryFur (http://www.dryfur.com/) and make all the suggested changes. It DOES matter!(You can buy the hardware at your local hardware store or Home Depot.)

All the hardware that comes with this is standard for a shed. It depends if you build, with your own wood, it sturdy enough for a dog. It depends on the dog as well. So, it is as solid as you make it.

I use a sturdy support beam in my basement. I'm willing to bet there's ceiling mounts you can get in the event you don't have a beam strong enough

I use this product faithfully...For the basement you want to use the 4lb tub...I find they work best at a high level...They last for quite a while... you will soon see the water collect...I ALWAYS have one in basement and use he "hangers" as well...Works great for me...Good Luck!

I use it in Garage. You would have to check with Rubbermaid if it can stand up to the weather elements.

I returned this and have nothing positive to say for meeting my needs, which were different from yours. I also have large Labs (now nine months old), and got two of the Giant versions. The crates were very flimsy and I though they wouldn't keep the dogs in for 30 seconds, if that. The ones I was shipped would not be suitable for outside use. If you dog is small, it might work for inside. Good luck.

Since I use bedding, I plan to nail a wood floor panel with metal wheels to the bottom. It will give it extra stability as well as make it easier to move and clean. Maybe add some plastic tarp to avoid the rabbit urine from seeping into the wood.

I use it as a platform for my dog crates in the basement on a concrete floor. Otherwise dogs get chilly.
