Rank #8 in Best Dog Crate 2026: The Inch Is Not a Measurement
Harbour Housewares Medium Dog Crate 76 x 46 x 53 cm with 2 Doors and Tray
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Harbour Housewares medium crate costs £25.99 and is rated 4.5 stars from 175 ratings, with two doors and a tray at 76 by 46 by 53cm.
It takes eighth because it is the only crate here that publishes the wire gauge — 4mm powder-coated steel — which is the number that says how much dog the crate will hold, and because the price is mid-range for a 30-inch.
How those 175 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.5 stars.

Questions people ask
What does 4mm gauge mean?
The thickness of the wire: it is the number that describes how much dog the crate will hold, and it appears on no other listing here.
Is 175 ratings enough?
It is a small sample but a real one, and its one-star share of 6 per cent is the second-highest of the crates with more than a hundred reviews.
Does it have two doors?
Yes, with a tray, and it folds.
How big a dog?
A 30-inch crate fits a cocker spaniel or a small springer; the interior is smaller than 76cm.
Why is it eighth?
Because its published specification is the best here but its sample is thin.
How many ratings does it have?
175 at the time of collection, averaging 4.5 stars, with 79 per cent five-star and 6 per cent one-star.
