Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Is it possible to connect multiple pens together to make a larger enclosure?
A. Yes, 2 or more pens can be joined together. The pens join together in the same way that a single pen joins to itself. Notice how in the above image the front 2 panels are held in place with 2 hooks.
Q. Can these pens be organized to make different configurations or shapes?
A. Yes, various configurations are possible, just keep in mind that long skinny shapes may not be as secure as more square configurations.
Q. Are individual panels removable from this pen and can they be added to another pen?
A. The individual panels are not designed to be removable, so it's not recommended to do this, though it is possible with some difficulty. If you do re-attach a panel it may lead to the metal clips losing their grip and strength, especially if this process is repeated a few times.
