A:

The play pin is huge! It is adjustable to go smaller if needed. Also enough pieces to separate the 2 if needed. And if is tall enough. My daughter is a very tall 1 year old and she is no where near able to climb out. I love it!

Q:can we buy extensions to this? would any playpen extension work? where does one buy extensions

A:

Yes you can expand. I did see expansion set on amazon 2 or 4 Piece sets brand must be the same. Or you can buy a second playpen and combine the two.

Q:When will baby / toddler outgrow (climb out) of this? I’m thinking about getting for a very mobile almost 1 year old who is into EVERYTHING!!!

A:

My great nephew just turned 1 on aug 5th. He cannot climb out at this point. I’m thinking the child would need to be 2 or 3 before he/she can climb out

Q:Can I use this on wood floor? Do I need any special mat to set it on?

A:

Yes, it has clear (super strong) suction cups on the bottom to keep it still. It shouldn’t damage your floor unless it’s very soft wood. You might want to put a mat or blanket in it for your child’s comfort, but that’s up to you.

Q:If a two year old, laying on their back, were to constantly kick the panels, what would the results be? (Son is disabled, non verbal, but very strong)

A:

He wouldn’t be able to kick it apart but he might be able to slightly move it depending on where and how you had it positioned. He wouldn’t be able to move the entire playpen cause all together it is sturdy and heavy but he might slightly move a wall. My two and a half year old who is in to everything & very strong willed loves this thing and she’s almost thirty pounds and can’t move it ( we don’t have it suctioned to the floor either ) actually the only way mine gets moved is if all five of my kids are in it at once playing ( ages eight to two )

Q:Are there clear suction cups on the bottom for stability? They were on a previously purchased one from 7/14? Thank you.

A:

Yes, it should come with clear suction cups

Q:when we purchased the item we read here that it came with attachments to make it a square. ours didn’t come with those attachments. what gives?

A:

Umm.. you don’t need attachments to make it a square. Once assembled you just move the walls and make your square. Does that make sense ??? It’s simple

Q:how big of a floor mat would I need to buy to cover the inside?

A:

We bought the one listed below. It was not a perfect fit, too big, but we rearranged the sections to make it work. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014H9Y6O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Q:Has anyone used this outside on the grass? If so does it stand up well.

A:

No I have not tried outside. Stickers fall off easily. It’s fair. It doesn’t stick to laminate flooring very well with the suction cups on the bottom, but it will do.

Q:where can i find wall mounts for this?

A:

We made our own .. I don’t know if they actually have ones made for this.

A:

I would not recommend this play pen. It is not sturdy and the panels come apart very easily. My grand daughter is 9 months old and pulling up and this did not work for her. It fell on top of her and came apart. Also the slats are so wide that she would get her arms and legs caught in between them. I actually asked for a refund and did not use it at all.

Q:How do I order extra panels?

A:

I’m sorry HowlinBlade I haven’t buy extra panels yet,I don’t know if they have more. I bought mine 8 panels together and it’s big for my 1 years old twin boys.

Q:Do I need extra parts to build a square? two panels on each side?

A:

Nope. Once you put the panels together, you can shape it how you want it. We actually use it set up as a square.

A:

My daughter is 31 pounds and 35 inches tall at 18 months. We bought three of them to fence off most of a room so she could practice walking safely. We’ve had this for nine months now and absolutely love it. We found that the way to use it best was to make sure that the gates are angled and, preferably, have some backup support, like a wall or what have you.

My daughter is 31 pounds and 35 inches tall at 18 months. We bought three of them to fence off most of a room so she could practice walking safely. We’ve had this for nine months now and absolutely love it.

We found that the way to use it best was to make sure that the gates are angled and, preferably, have some backup support, like a wall or what have you. We have not tried it on a smooth surfaced floor, like tile, but I would not recommend it. Carpet would provide more friction and prevent slippage. Her fence is big enough that we have it wedged against the wall, an anchored bookcase and my very large office desk. Doesn’t sound safe, but it is, and it was a fantastic area to use to set up toy stations (so she’d be encouraged to walk from place to place) and we had enough room for both a Fisher Price Laugh n’ Learn house and farm (which she used as handholds to cruise.)

If you set the gate up incorrectly, the answer would be a semi-yes. It won’t fall over entirely, but if you get a long section, you DO have to angle it or it will lean over. If you look at the pic, though, you can tell it’s not designed to be a straight fence, anyway. (And we have about an eight foot straightaway, MUCH bigger than a single playyard.). If you set it up to be stable, the answer is no. And, even mine can’t ride it all the way over; it just angles back. There’s been some comments about kids climbing it, but I assure you, once your child starts weighing a little more, they’re not going to want to. The openings are very sturdy, but the edges would be very uncomfortable to put any amount of weight upon.

I would definitely recommend it. In fact, I’m getting ready to order one and two extension panels to set up at my father’s for when we go to visit (we have to fly and can’t take ours.) His house is absolutely un-kid-friendly and really can’t be made so – my stepmother collects a -lot- of antiques, they have a fireplace, etc. They’re going to keep it there for us to use when we visit again. Sure beats having to lug along a playpen.

By the way, this is also a great alternative for us because she’s technically outgrown her regular playpen — and most other kids her age haven’t. She’s in the 99th percentile for height and 96th for weight. She still needs *someplace* that’s not her crib that she can play safely and this fits the bill very well. We put a play mat in the corner for her to lie down on when she’s tired. It has the added bonus of keeping all her toys in one area, too. We have a big Rubbermaid container so she can practice taking her toys out and putting them back, too.

HTH.

Q:We’d like to put it together in the morning and put it away at night, how easy, flexible and easy would it be to do this everyday?

A:

It can be done. It’s heavy, and bulky. But it definitely can be done.. I found it easier to just leave it in an area unless I had a reason to take it down.

Q:Any suggestions on how to keep Baby from climbing out? We’ve tried everything. Would weaving a strong fabric through the holes help?

A:

I believe the infant surround comes in two heights, I’m assuming you have the shorter one. also I suspect your baby is using his toes in the holes to help him or her to climb up. the most simple fix I can think of would be to put baby’s sneakers or shoes on and double knot the laces. I don’t think the holes in the surround are large enough to get those little baby shoes into them. Give that a try. good luck.

Q:Can I use this to surround a toddler bed to keep my son from getting away too quickly. He can crawl out of his crib but is only 16months.

A:

It may work…. each panel is 30 inches high and 30 inches wide, and if you would get enough panels to go all the way around so you could hook it closed… I think it would be sturdy enough if it surrounded the toddler bed and was hooked….. I know if you just stand it somewhere and it blocked a way( it is not hooked) so the children can not get out… if they lean against, it will push down….But I know if I have it hooked they have not been able to do this…. I hope this helps… Dianne

Q:Has anyone use this for small puppy/ dog playpen?

A:

That is the reason I purchased the playpen and it works wondefully. Because of its segmented design I have fit it into some strange places. I keep it as a rectangle behind the couch and it is perfect. Once when company was coming over I removed a segment and made a triangle to fit in my bedroom by the bed. a great idea for puppies and small dogs. They seem to like it to as the go in by themselves when the gate is open,

Q:Sturdy enough for an adult labrador dog? I am wondering if this 60 lb. dog will be able to move the play yard around the room?

A:

I think your lab will absolutely able to push this around on a ceramic floor, and the puppies too. I have an 80 lb lab and she is very strong. This is a very lightweight gate that will likely do very little to contain your dogs. I own a similar gate but only use it to keep my kids & dog from the grill on my deck. For something heavier & sturdier, I would consider one of the metal gates on the market. I own the http://www.amazon.com/KidCo-KID-G80-Configure-Gate/dp/B000056HMX/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1313246433&sr=1-1 but there’s also the…

These are unfortunately much more expensive, but more heavy duty than the light plastic ones. I love the configure gate because I can arrange it any way. I use it in a straight line across a large opening between my family room & kitchen, but also at Christmas around the tree to keep my enthusiastic lab from eating or yanking down our tree. I hope any of this helps. They also make metal & wooden pet gates that might better serve your purposes. I hope this helps. Best of luck with the dogs!

Q:Can the panels come apart so I could potentially use 3 to block off the fireplace and 3 to block off something else?

A:

Yes, they all detacth from each other. It isn’t the easiest thing to do (ie it’s not like a gate), but it’s not that difficult either. We’ve considered getting two sets & putting them together in the event we have a bigger batch of turkies this comming year.

Q:Can two of these be connected and if so how?

A:

Yes. They’re made to connect. I’ve got 2 sets connected at my house and am going to buy a third set for even more room for play.

Q:Is the 6 or 8 panel sturdier? Or are they about the same?

A:

I have the 6 panel and it it pretty sturdy. They all will move a little because they aren’t tied down to anything. My 11-3/4 month old granddaughter tries to climb up the side and it holds pretty steady. The other grandmother has the 8 panel and seems to be as steady. They will move just slightly. I feel it is safe. As always you have to check regularly. I am very pleased.

Q:Can I use it as a wall?

A:

It would not serve as a wall. The sections are made to connect together in a hinged fashion which do not lock straight.

A:

I don’t have a measurement but I’d say way too small for a kitten to get through. Maybe 1″/1.5″ as a rough guess

Q:Can I open it all the way up to block a larger area opening? or does it need to stay in a round or rectangle shape?

A:

Yes you can but it won’t stand on it’s own. Adding feet as an accessory would be a good idea for the company.

Q:Hi-I can’t get the door/gate to “swivel.” Essentially, the entire side the door is attached to has to straighten for the door to work. Anyone else?

A:

Check the knobs between each section. If they are too tight or unscrewed too far it will lock the gate. Tighten the knobs to stabilize the play yard.

Q:How wide are the slots between the panels?

A:

At the top and bottom of the panels the gap (near the hinges) the gap is 2 3/8 inches wide. Elsewhere the gap between the panels is 1 inch.

Q:how tall is it?

A:

Each section is 31 inches tall.

Q:Can this be stretched out to cover hearth or entertainment center

A:

Right now I am using it to keep the pooches out of the living room which has a large archway linking it to the rest of the house. It is pretty sturdy and effective.

Q:Is there rubber or anything on the bottom to keep it from slipping on a hard floor? I know the North States brand one does.

A:

I don’t think it has rubber bottoms. I have mine on hard wood but bought a 5×3 rug to go under it that sees to keep in in place and the toy box that is inside. I’m sure he could push it if he wanted to. My baby can climb it though if he really wants to. Gets his little toes in the holes and up he goes.

Q:What type of plastic is this play yard made of? I’m looking specifically for what plastic code is stamped on the gate itself, if there is one.

A:

I don’t believe they have the plastic code stamped on any of the plastic panels. I searched high and low, front and back and the only thing they have stamped is the month and year code of when it was made.

Q:Answer is probably no, but I was wondering if it fits/connects to the North States gate that is similar.

A:

Not that I can tell, I assumed I could connect it to similar brands when I purchased it but I couldn’t figure out how.

Q:Will this fit around my Christmas tree… I need 18 feet to fit around it.

A:

I think that it would work for you, but ere is also a possibility to buy two extra panels if you need it to be even longer. I know ours fits around our tree.

A:

Yes

Q:Is this system compatable with North States Industries Superyard

A:

I have no idea but I do know this is one of the taller play yards as our granddaughter is a climber and a tall play yard was one of the requirements we had. It is perfect for containing our “little monkey”.

Q:Has anyone used this product to confine a large dog?

A:

Hi Teresa, I haven’t used it for a dog, but hear me out. We have this set up in our kitchen with hardwood floors, and our 15 month old can push the entire pen around the room. She puts her hands up on the side and just starts walking and the pen goes with her. Idk if your pup is rambunctious or not, but if so I wouldn’t choose this one.

Q:What color are the panels? Gray or ivory?

A:

Mine are stained red from years of toddler grudge matches. I don’t remember what the original color was.

Q:I have one and the latch has broken. I can’t seem to find a replacement part or replacement panel. Any tips?

A:

I don’t know honestly. Have you tried contacting Summer?

Q:Can it be separated into 2 sets of 3?

A:

Each section can be detached. That makes it possible to configure it many ways. 2 sets of 3 would be possible although it would make a very small area, so not sure what could be “fenced” by it. There is only one gate section. Additional sections can be ordered through the manufacturer.

Q:How do you take apart the panels

A:

To open regularly, there is a door with a lever. You squeeze the 2 buttons, lift lever, and then open the door. To remove the panels not attached to the door panel, you loosen the know at the top of that panel’s hinge, flex the panel to pull the hinge apart, and then lift the whole panel off the bottom hinge.

Q:What is the overall height of this containment fence and allso what material is it made of?

A:

The gate sections are just under 36 inches tall, perfect for an early toddler and the material is a rigid plastic. There are no sharp edges though and my grandson had a great time in his. Hope that helps your decision.

Q:If it were opened up and not in a circle – how long is it? I have an opening that is 106 inches I want to block sometimes. Thanks!

A:

It would be more than long enough, you’ll probably have to take 1 panel off..

Q:Why does it take 1 to 3 months to ship this item?

A:

We can ship immediately, sounds like a listing mistake.

A:

No they only fold out straight in a line or will fold the other direction completely parallel to the next one. Hope that helps

Q:Would this work as a play area for a guinea pig?

A:

If you want it to have plenty of room to run around, then yes. There is no way a guinea pig could escape from one of these.

Q:i need a 10′ by 10′ area rectangle can you combine these to get this look

A:

Yes you can we have and it works great

Q:I need to know if you can use 2 or 3 panels together to block off an area of a room, or does it require that all pieces be interlocked to work? I keep toddlers and want to use 3 sections together in a straight line to use to keep kids in one room…

A:

You can use as many or as few panel’s as you need for any particular job.

Q:How can I remove a panel or two. I have tried to twist the top caps, but can not get the cap to remove. Is it possible to remove or will it break it?

A:

It is possible to remove the panels. I took two of them off making my 8 panel unit 6 panels. The instructions are very good. Do you have them. If not, go to the manufacturers website and see if the instructions are available there. Basically, this is what you do: Loosen adjustment knobs on the panels to remove. Step 1: Place hand next to loosened adjustment knob. Apply downward pressure and flex panel to disengage top hinge. Pull up to disengage bottom hinge. Repeat to remove other panel. Step 2: Connect panels by following same technique in Step 1. Step 3. Tighten all adjustment knobs….

Q:what size are the panels ?

A:

35.1 x 31.6 x 2.5 inches for each panel

Q:I need the measurement (length) for each panel. having read all of the answered questions….still not sure…?

A:

Each panel is 30 inches and there is a 2 inch bolt between each panel.

Q:is it free standing on carpet? i want to use this as barrier gate next to the tv stand , does this product serve its purpose? fall off when pushed?

A:

this product works for what I bought it for !!! outside in yard for a 14 week old Boston terrier puppy!!!

Q:Can this be used on carpet?

A:

I know of no reason not to.

Q:Can this be used on carpet?

A:

Yes, it will work well. BEWARE of the screw/lock/bolt/nuts they do not work well, not like they say they will. I had to remove them for the thing to fold up and take and go.

A:

I don’t know how old your puppies are, but this would not work for long. I, too, have an Aussie, and he could clear this pen if he wanted to. Also, if they nosed under it, it could easily be lifted up. You would be better off buying an X-pen for dogs.

Q:Can a kitten climb out of this enclosure?

A:

Possibly. It does have holes it could hook its claws through and climb.

Q:How difficult would it be to attach this to the wall? I’m trying to find something to section off our entertainment center.

A:

It would probably be pretty easy. And it would be quick to tie down if need be

Q:What are the dimensions of each panel? I see that they are 30″ high but I can’t figure out how wide.

A:

The description states 32 inch wide

Q:Can you take the sections apart and just use 2 or three of theml?

A:

Yes, but it would be a triangle and awkward. You can use 4 sections for a very small area, but is is really pretty small and may be suitable for you. I use 6 sections (5 plus gate). Hope this answers your question.

Q:Does this version connect to the older model that I bought less than 1 year ago?

A:

I think that they do

Q:How do you put together?

A:

came already assembled…all you have to do is open it up like an accordion. Very very easy.

Q:What are the dimensions of the play area?

A:

I didn’t actually measure it, but I’d guestimate the hexagon it forms is about 4-5 feet across. My 2 y/o niece and 4 y/o nephew can plan it it happily when they don’t want the dogs licking their faces or swiping their snacks. I know that sounds backwards- having the kids in the pen, but they don’t yap because they want out and they can open the gate whenever they want to come or go. Plus, with a blanket over it, it makes an awesome tent in the jungle, where they’re surrounded by huge (13 pounds), ferocious, wild animals. lol

Q:will it work to go across the garage door space 16′?

A:

Hi Janae, it will come up about 1 foot short, but if you add the extension it would work. I believe you can make it a 6 or 8 segment gate. I bought the 6 segment.

Q:Is it sturdy when not in a circle? sectioning off corner, 1 side gate the other wall, is it easily pushed over by baby?

A:

It’s not very study, atleast structurally when it’s not in a circle. While you can brace it against something, ultimately it’s much easier to push (my 18 month old was pushing it when he started to walk at ~13months) Best bet if your going to get it is to understand that limitation

A:

It would work IF you securely fasten the top and bottom of each end to the wall. It’s very lightweight, so if it’s freestanding the little one will have it over in no time. My 13 pound Pom can easily shove it with his nose if it’s not fastened, so the baby would have no difficulty moving it.

Q:can you attach two 6 panels together? I want to square off a piece of my yard just for the baby stuff, but the one 6 panel isn’t big enough, so I was wondering if I bought two can I attach them all together?

A:

I think you could, it’s a very flexible piece of equipment. It is lightweight, though, so I wouldn’t trust it to hold the baby if I wasn’t outside with her, especially if she’s a toddler.

Q:Can it be made to fit straight across a wide opening and attached to the wall at each end? I have already done the math to figure out it will fit.

A:

One could use it stretched out straight. However, you would need to physically attach with some hardware of some type to the wall. It may be less sturdy in the center of the span if unsupported. If semi permanent, zip ties and a couple of 2x2s for top and bottom like a rail may allow to be sturdier an allow attachment to walls on either side. The material and joints are strong. Hope that helps.

Q:Why was this cluttering up a search for door mats?

A:

The same reason that a book search for “Gone with the Wind” is apt to reveal a biography of Benjamin Franklin- because Amazon refuses to tighten up its search engine. Their excuse to me was that a customer might not know the exact spelling of the product, but we all know it’s so you might see something else you like and make an impulse purchase … Unless, of course, they’re right and you thought “door mats” was spelt “P-L-A-Y-P-E-N”.

Q:Can this be bent in to a rectangular shape??

A:

yes, takes up less space that way, too.

Q:can this be used on carpet? if so how? do i need to use those suction cups

A:

Yes, it can be used on carpet. That’s how we use it, but I’m anxious for the weather to change so we can take it outdoors. No suction cups are needed for indoor use.

Pet Yard Plastic Exercise Pen Expansion Panel, 2-Piece, Gray features Two-panel extension kit Extension kit expands Superyard Classic to 34.5 square feet By adding this extension kit you can increase the Superyard classic size

Q:How does the extension connect

A:

Do you have the origional pet yard? This is an extension to it. So you attach it just as you connect the pieces in the origional one…the bottom end you connect by pushing the bottom down with the piece your using to attach… And slide the top in place. The instruction book gives a better description.
Hope this helped.

Q:Do these extensions work with model number 8666?

A:

Sorry I do not know.

North States Industries Superyard Play Yard Colorplay 2 Panel Extension Kit, Orange/Blue features 26″ high, convenient carrying strap included Extension kit expands Superyard Classic to 34.5 square feet Easy to install

Q:Once the extension kit is attached, can it be detached?

A:

Yes. I attach and re-attach pieces all the time. I added them to make my play yard a big square. I took them out to make a smaller pen to put around my Christmas tree…now I have moved it again and have a different configuration to surround the fireplace.

Q:Can you put together more panels than 8; i.e., an 8-panel + 2 extension kits?

A:

I don’t see why not. Just may not be the desired shape you’re going for in the end.

Q:How wide are just the two ext. pieces?

A:

30.5 ” for each one. I also bought the two pieces with one is a swing door. I will be using these to potty train puppies out in the yards. I also use them to block off the stairs.

Q:Can I make a long straight gate if I put these together? I need 9 feet

A:

You could, but it would not offer much stability. I guess it depends on what your need is.

Q:what are the pieces made of? it looks like metal but i can’t tell for sure

A:

The entire thing is made of plastic.

Q:Does this fit into the Colorplay ultimate?

A:

yeah we bought the 8 panel and the 2 panel. End up with a lot of blue and orange.
