This Was On Ebay-Just Type in iris pen Under pet supplys--i think it was the 3rd on it says mesh top

I see they sell the mesh roofs separately at Amazon for around $19.

I have a pen next to my computer desk for those times I need to concentrate on what I'm doing and Ivy is in play-mode so doesn't want to settle quietly on my lap (like right now). But it is one leftover from when my daughters were toddlers and is heavy and cumbersome. It was a multi-panel unit that we used to block off our fireplace from two little girls. I am just using 4 panels for Ivy.

But I'm glad you posted about these Iris pens. I've thought that I will need to do something for when we travel and these light weight pens might be good for then. I am quite sure that Ivy would chew through a fabric pen quite quickly.

Not worried about the cats..I won't need it at home. I will need something when I go to my best friend's house or my daughters' houses...they have large dogs and she is to small to be around them.

I was using a Pack N Play in the den for Leila, but just a few days after being spayed, she jumped out of it. So it was immediately packed up and put away. Now I have her pink tent with the mesh top (like the one posted in the link above) in there. I'd bought it for camping when we are camping and spending a lot of time outside so hawks can't get her. But it's coming in handy at home now too. It has a bottom that can easily be wiped up if any "accidents". It's also very light weight for taking places. When I'm away from home, I have a Play Yard for toddlers that's made of a heavier plastic that's very roomy I bought at Walmart. It doesn't have a bottom, but we put a tarp on the floor under it. It isn't so easy to travel with though because it is heavier and more bulky.

My 2 sleep in a pack & play & I bought an elasticized mesh for the top against mosquitos---made for babies.
When we travel I take the one like Tori posted---it has a bottom & top (don't use the top) & it folds to fit into my luggage. It is very light weight. My 2 do not climb or jump so that is something to consider.

I love Griffin's fabric one (like Tori mentioned). I got a larger one and I can't figure out how to fold it so it's still up in our kitchen nook. I feed him in there since he eats really fast and goes after the other dogs food if not contained. He also likes to go in there to nap and play.
