An outdoor dog pen is a good option if you want to let your furry friend play while still keeping him from going where he should not.

There are many different dog exercise pens available online and we have listed down the best that you can order from Amazon:

Quick overview of all our recommended outdoor dog pen:

​

Exercise Pen by MidWest Homes for Pets

The exercise pen from MidWest Homes for Pets is composed of eight 2-foot wide panels that make a 16-square-foot enclosure. You simply unfold and clip the ends together. Because of its design, you can configure the shape of the enclosure according to your needs and use the dog pen outdoors or indoors.

Each panel is made of metal wire, and the black E-coat finish protects it from natural elements and rust. The package also includes 4 thumb-snaps and 8 ground stakes to secure it while outdoors. Some customers who used the pen indoors did say that their dogs managed to push it over with ease.

When the end panels are attached to your dog's crate, your furry friend can come out and stretch his muscles anytime he wants without you worrying about him running loose. When not in use, you can fold it flat and store.

There are 5 options that vary in height for dogs of different sizes. You can also purchase the optional wire mesh top or sunscreen top; and if you want a bigger enclosure, you can attach two exercise pens together.

Uptown Welded Wire Kennel by Lucky Dog

If you would rather have a heavy-duty welded steel kennel for your canine companion, there's one from Lucky Dog that comes with a pitched roof made of a steel frame and waterproof cover with added UV protection.

To prevent the risk of sharp edges and provide better protection against corrosion and rust buildup, the kennel's steel bars and wire mesh were welded together before the coating was applied. The modular panels come pre-assembled, so all you have to do is connect them by means of hand-tightening clamps.

The roof can be secured to the kennel using the included elastic cords to protect your dog from the sun, rain, or light snow. The manufacturer also recommends ground anchoring to keep it more secure.

The kennel is offered in three variants and we recommend that you get the largest size if you are looking for a large dog pen outdoors since the exact size turns out to be smaller when it’s set up.

Gazebo Modular Outdoor Dog Kennel by Advantek

Another outdoor dog pen that comes with a cover is the Gazebo Modular Outdoor Dog Kennel by Advantek. As the name suggests, this looks like a gazebo because of its octagonal shape and pitched canopy.

The kennel is of steel construction and powder coated using the patented Advantek AztekGold finish. The cover, meanwhile, is polyurethane that's weather-resistant and reversible. It also has an latching access window for convenience.

You don't need tools to set up the medium-sized outdoor dog pen with roof, and customers said that it takes somewhere around 20 to 30 minutes to put together. Once assembled, you'll have an enclosure that measures 60 inches x 60 inches x 60 inches. While it's already sufficient for dogs of up to 100 pounds or even a couple of smaller sized pets, you can make the space bigger by attaching two or more kennels together.

Since the pet gazebo is likewise easy to take apart, it is convenient to take along on out of town trips with your pet.

Foldable Portable Exercise Kennel by Zampa

If you have a puppy, then the exercise pen from Zampa is the one for you. It is octagonal in shape and has an attached floor mat, giving him a place to relax and play in comfort.

It is made of water-resistant materials plus mesh on all sides for both ventilation and visibility, so you can watch your little furball as he plays inside the kennel. The seams and corners are protected and reinforced for your pet's safety. There is also a hole where you can place a special water bottle. There are also side pockets for his treats, leash, and other items, as well as a bottle holder for an extra supply of water.

It comes with a removable mesh cover and 4 stakes so you can secure it to the ground when you're outdoors. When not in use, you can simply fold it flat and put inside its carrying case (26.5 inches x 20 inches). This makes it easy to store or transport as needed.

Many customers said the product works for them and their furry friends but since this is made mostly of mesh, one can expect some determined pups to figure a way to get out.
