Is the steel inside the kennel flexible? even just a bit?

You take it apart same way you put together... Our dog does great in it, but she is only 10 lbs.. A larger dog might be able to damage the carrier. We put a soft bed in there for her when we travel.

Yes. I am not that strong and I popped it place. and left it that. It is so nice. Peggy W.

Yes it is very flexible. I am able to bend it into a horse shoe shape and the grabber and light work perfectly.

So sorry to have missed this request. I like this kennel with the metal doors. Sorry they aren'y making any more. Yes, the plastic shell is flimsier than the original models I have but it's still better than the newer plastic door models. The plastic clasps have never been a problem for me.

The bars are very stable, not flexible at all. I believe they are aluminum. The space between the bars on the door is 2 1/4 inches. The space along the top of the sides is 2 3/4 inches. It's been 10 months and still love this crate!

yes, this one has a little flex. Definitely on the stiff side of filet knives, but not as stiff as e.g. a butcher's boning knife

Yes, it's all steel, but if I had an adult pit bull that had to be caged, I'd put a padlock on the door latch just to be sure....

Its a soft steel. The ornate leaves will bend if you do not handle it right, but the cage bars are pretty solid and will not bend. The steel is powdercoated with something too. I've had this thing for like 2 years and its still solid, pretty, and unscratched.

yes, it's a sort of floppy door with thick plastic panes (for insulation) I've had my door now since August I believe, and 2 dogs going in and out all the time, i'ts a sturdy door, the best made from what I researched for Double Paned Screen Doors, another reason it's a little more expensive most doggie doors are all single pane,

I have two 16 month old black labs (85 and 90 lbs). They have done fine in it. It does seem to feel more flimsy than our smaller ones but I think that is just because of the height of the kennel. The latch has to be secured with a wire though on the one we use all the time..they paw at it and have been known to get out. My metal tray (which is why we bought it) is about 2 inches shorter than what I think it should be. Had to anchor it so that the dogs could not paw at rug that was beneath it.

yes it is however I would not recommend this kennel. it doesn't have enough vertical support braces. the kennel I bought broke after one month.

It does flex some. Has held up well under heavy use. It is made of aluminum

it's very little flexible...but can accommodate thicker doors than looks in the picture.

It's pretty stiff, not very flexible. Mine was broken out of the box, the base came unglued from the top of the unit..... I ended up epoxying it and it's been holding for now.

I wouldn't call it flimsy. Adequate, not industrial strength like you might see for cages in an animal shelter. This is a lighter weight cage built for transporting, so it's not heavy gauge steel. If the dog in the cage isn't actively, desperately seeking escape, I'd think this would be fine. My shelter rescue basset reacted so much when I pulled this out of the box that I have never actually closed the cage door. Subsequent visit to the vet revealed bad teeth suspected to have been the result of chewing on the crate she was kept in while being used as a puppy mill. While my Basset was happy to have her own den, then my predatory pussy cat decided to take it over as her den! Makes a great cat crate - as long as I don't shut the door. Makes a wonderful dog crate, as long as the door is open, the Pupperonis are inside, and the cat is up on her cat-tree!

It should be compliant. I think as long as it has the air vent holes it should be compliant. My dog loves the kennel.

It's definitely steel but it does flex slightly. Its a great case as long as you don't have heat sinks or memory clips that get in the way of the top fans. The fans are slightly in the way for mine but I made it work just fine.

If you attach the flexible roofing material, he will be discouraged from trying to jump out. When covered, the kennel gives a good impression of being well enclosed.
