Home made Play-Pen?

[Ashley B]

Okay so I've been using chicken wire fencing and to use as a play pen. Its doesn't work the best because it doesn't stay stable. How can i make a homemade play pen by using things sold at Wall-mart or found at home. I have tons of chicken wire so I'd like to use that any way possible. I also have wood and wooden stake that i can use. I just need a few ideas :?



Comments and pics would be helpful!
Thanks,
Ashley

You could make a frame using the wood and staple the wire to it. You would need a few of these to make a pen. Some kind of latch will be needed to hold them together.

Walmart does sell the NIC grids (check the storage aisle with the plastic bins and other shelving). You can buy a couple packs and make a pen out of them using zip ties.

Walmart may also have x-pen for dogs. They may be a tad expensive, but would be useful.

You can also check classifieds sites like Craigslist or Kijiji. There can be people on there who are selling stuff you can use and it tends to be cheaper than buying new.

Thanks! I'm gonna try doing the first option (making a frame with the wood.) If it doesn't work out very good there's always wall-mart!!

Thank you!

You could use the idea above and use door hinges to put them together--one piece on each panel and the pin to lock it together--worked well for us.
