PETIME foldable metal exercise pen

A playpen on a hardwood floor without a mat means scratches you will pay for at move-out. A foldable 8-panel metal pen, 24 by 24 inches per panel, sold with a bottom pad. Configure it as a square, a rectangle or an L and fold it flat when done.

Metal 8-panel exercise pen with a fabric bottom pad on a cream background

Why we picked it

The bottom pad is why this one is here. Most metal pens leave the floor bare; this listing includes a pad that protects hardwood and catches the mess from a puppy that is still learning. The eight panels link into whatever shape your room allows, and the whole thing folds flat for the closet or the car.

We picked it for renters, for zone training with a bed and water inside the pen, and for owners who want to shape the pen around furniture. PETIME lists it for indoor and outdoor use.

The honest catch: 24 inches is low for an athletic dog, and the pad, while useful, is not a chew toy; a puppy that shreds fabric needs supervision with it. Measure your floor space before ordering eight panels.

Good for

  • Renters and hardwood floors
  • Zone training with bed, water and a chew inside
  • Owners who want a pen that folds away

Skip it if

  • Your dog can clear a 24-inch fence
  • You want a pen with a gate door built in
