I have bought three pens over the years and this is the only one that did not go rusty after a winter outside. The latch actually lines up.
Foldable Playpen
The one we send most often. 8 panels, five-minute setup, folds flat to 6 cm. Same galvanized tube, same double powder coat, same 10-year frame warranty as every FREEPET playpen.
Five-minute setup
Panels unfold and lock with one latch each. No tools, no screws, no instructions needed.
Rust-tested steel
Hot-dip galvanized before cutting, phosphate-washed, then double powder-coated. 500-hour salt spray.
Folds to 6 cm
Flat enough to slide behind a sofa or lay in a car trunk. Ships with a storage strap.
Indoor & outdoor
Same frame works both ways. Powder coat is UV-stable and pet-safe on hardwood or lawn.
What's in the box
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
One carton. The frame arrives fully assembled — you unfold it, the latches click, and it is standing. The printed guide is on top, the storage strap is in the side pocket.

Setup took me four minutes on my own with a two-year-old labrador trying to help. Nothing about it feels flimsy.
We use it as a soft pen for a litter of foster puppies. Perfect through eight litters.
The kennel has been outside through two winters — no rust, no wobble. Worth every dollar.
