Rank #5 in Best Dog Playpen 2026: 10 Ranked, Why 2 Extra Panels Buy 6% More
IGOOUO Metal Dog Playpen, 8 Panels, 81.3 cm, with Door
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The IGOOUO 32-8 is the metal pen at number 5 in this guide: eight panels, 81.3 cm high, £75.98, rated 4.5 out of 5 from 145 ratings. The reason it sits above the two acrylic pens on floor space is in its own dimensions. The listing gives an overall footprint of 134.5 x 134.6 cm, which is about 1.81 m², against 1.00 m² for the acrylic pen at £89.99 and 1.06 m² for the one at £99.99. On the numbers printed in the three listings, the cheapest of the three gives the most floor per pound.
Two things in this listing do not close cleanly. The title advertises '8 Panels' and 'with One Door' but never says whether the door is one of the eight — the acrylic 10-panel pen states its set is '9 connectable panels and 1 door panel', so the count there is spelled out and here it is not. And the spec field 'Indoor Outdoor Usage' reads 'Indoor', while the product name says Indoor/Outdoor and a review describes using it outdoors. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing — the description, the spec fields and the customer reviews — not from a pen we assembled ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Great for keeping my puppy safe. He has enough room for his bed water bowl toys and a puppy mat. I got the 8 panel pen but only use 6 which was cheaper than buying 4 and 2 extra. And it looks quite nice too.”
Verified purchase“My dog loves this so easy to make great for outdoors”

Questions people ask
How much floor does the IGOOUO 8-panel playpen take up?
The listing gives item dimensions of 134.5 x 134.6 cm, about 1.81 m², at a height of 81.3 cm.
Does the 8-panel count include the door?
The title says '8 Panels' and 'with One Door' but does not state whether the door is one of the eight, so the listing leaves that open.
Can the IGOOUO playpen be used outside?
The product name says indoor/outdoor and a review mentions using it outdoors, but the 'Indoor Outdoor Usage' field is listed as 'Indoor'. The listing does not resolve the two.
Is it light enough to move?
The description calls it lightweight and says carry straps are included for transport, while the Item Weight field reads 12 kg. Both figures are from the same page.
What is in the box with the IGOOUO 32-8?
The Included Components field reads 'muffler tube' and the Unit Count field reads 7.97 count, neither of which describes a playpen; the description mentions carry straps and stainless steel balls on the stakes.
What is the rating breakdown?
The page shows 4.5 out of 5 from 145 ratings. The star bars read 78 five-star, 12 four-star, 3 three-star, 1 two-star and 6 one-star, which adds up to 100, not 145.
