Moducrate 90in Outdoor Dog Kennel Review

Intro

I'm The Pet Dude: a pet parent who spends too much time comparing gear so you don't have to. This review digs into the Moducrate 90inch Heavy Duty Outdoor Dog Kennel — the brand's large metal wire-mesh enclosure advertised for outdoor use with a detachable roof cover. I walk through what the kennel actually is, how it handles daily life outside, build and safety concerns you should know about, and who this fits (and who should skip it). All specs I cite come from the listing and the owner feedback I've reviewed; where the listing is silent, I say so.

What it is / first look

At a glance the Moducrate 90inch is a large, single-level outdoor dog enclosure built for outdoor use. The listing gives the model name as 90inch and the item dimensions as 93 x 93 x 63 inches. It's marketed for outdoor use and for "All Breed Sizes" with a specific note of "Dog Breed Size: Large." The product's construction is described as metal (the listing calls out galvanized steel tubing with a reinforced anti-corrosion coating) and it ships with a detachable shroud and a waterproof, UV-resistant canopy roof. The kennel is positioned as durable, easy to assemble, and weather-resistant.

What's included (from the listing)

• Detachable shroud (listed under Included Components)
• Waterproof, UV-resistant canopy roof cover (described in the features)
• 150 cable ties and clear instructions (the listing specifically calls out 150 cable ties and tool-free assembly)
• Reinforced lockable gate (described as part of the secure design)

The listing also mentions ground stakes help keep the enclosure stable; the text reads that ground stakes help keep it stable but does not clearly state whether stakes are included, so I'll flag that under the checklist below.

In daily use

My practical take: this kennel is designed to be a roomy outdoor run for large dogs and to give pets a secure outdoor place to play, exercise, and rest. The 93" x 93" footprint and 63" height give a clear sense of the volume you're working with — it's square, single-level, and intended for outdoor placement.

Large adult dogs

The listing targets large-breed use and several positive reports emphasize that the interior is spacious enough for big, active breeds to move and play. The reinforced lockable gate and metal construction are presented as features to keep a dog safely inside during supervised outdoor time.

Multiple dogs

The listing's "spacious secure exercise" phrasing and owner feedback I reviewed indicate the kennel can be adequate for more than one large dog in terms of room. One hands-on report I reviewed explicitly called out that there's "plenty of room for 2 large dogs." That said, how comfortable your dogs are together will depend on their activity level and supervision; the listing doesn't specify a maximum number of dogs or combined weight limit.

Puppies & chewers

The listing doesn't provide an age-range or chew-resistance rating. The kennel is metal with galvanized steel tubing and a wire mesh, but the listing does not claim chew-proof performance. If you have a highly motivated chewer or a puppy that likes to gnaw metal edges, the listing is silent about reinforced chew-resistant features, so I recommend extra supervision and checking the enclosure edges after assembly for any unfinished or sharp cut ends (see Safety considerations).

Materials & build quality

The listing describes the frame as built with galvanized steel tubing and a reinforced anti-corrosion coating; the canopy is advertised as waterproof and UV-resistant. The assembly approach uses cable ties (150 supplied) rather than welded or bolted joints, which the listing frames as a convenience: "Quick, Tool-Free Assembly" with clear instructions.

From the owner feedback I reviewed, a few consistent build notes stand out:

• Several people described the mesh as thick and substantial and praised the perceived sturdiness once the kennel is assembled.
• The 150 cable ties fastening system is highlighted as a practical way to assemble the panels without special tools; some owners called the cable tie design "brilliant" for this price point.
• There are notes about finishing quality — reports mention "lots of untidy ends" on the fence and the need to tidy up cut ends after assembly. That can be purely cosmetic but also a safety concern if edges are sharp (more on that below).

How the kennel stands up to weather is explicitly part of the product description: the galvanized tubing plus an anti-corrosion coating is presented as the corrosion-resistant element and the canopy is advertised to shed water, debris and light snow thanks to a spire design. The listing also notes included ties to secure the canopy edges for a snug fit.

Safety considerations

Pet safety is my top concern. Here are the safety signals the listing and owner feedback make clear.

• Escape-prevention: The listing calls out a reinforced lockable gate that "adds escape-proof security" and ground stakes are mentioned as helping keep the enclosure stable. That suggests the product's design intends to reduce escape risk, but how escape-proof it is in practice depends on your gate installation and how your dog interacts with the enclosure.
• Sharp or untidy edges: Multiple reports I reviewed mention untidy ends and finishing issues on the fence panels. The listing itself does not detail rounded edges or edge protection, so you should assume you may need to trim or file cut ends and inspect every seam after assembly to prevent scratches or punctures. This is especially important if you plan to use the kennel with puppies, nervous animals, or pets that rub against fencing.
• Canopy and weather protection: The canopy is described as waterproof and UV-resistant, and the spire design is meant to shed water, debris, and light snow. That gives shade and some protection from the elements, but the listing does not claim full shelter from heavy storms, nor does it list wind ratings. If you live in a windy area, anchor the kennel securely and consider additional windbreaks.
• Fasteners: The listing includes 150 cable ties for tool-free assembly. Cable ties can be very secure when correctly tightened, but they should be inspected regularly and replaced if they show UV degradation. The listing does not state a replacement schedule for ties or whether metal fasteners are available as an alternative.
• Warranty and support: The listing says your purchase is backed by a warranty and dedicated customer service, but it doesn't specify the warranty length or terms. If warranty length or return handling matters to you, reach out to the seller for clarification before buying.

Bottom line on safety: the kennel's features (lockable gate, galvanized metal, canopy) lean toward a secure outdoor run, but be proactive about finishing touches after assembly — check for sharp edges, confirm how the canopy is tied down, and verify stake/anchor details for your yard conditions.

Who this is for / who should skip

I break this down by pet size and use case so you can quickly decide whether this is worth a closer look.

Best fit

• Large adult dogs: The listing calls out "Dog Breed Size: Large" and promotes the kennel as spacious. If you need an outdoor single-level run for one or two large dogs (and you supervise outdoor time), this is the intended use case.
• Owners wanting tool-free assembly: The product emphasizes quick tool-free assembly and includes 150 cable ties and instructions. If you want to avoid bolting panels together with hardware, this is attractive.
• Homeowners needing sun and light-rain cover: The waterproof, UV-resistant canopy provides shade and protection from light rain and snow buildup, per the listing.
• Budget-conscious buyers wanting a heavy-looking metal run: The kennel is presented as heavy-duty with galvanized tubing and an anti-corrosion coating — owners I reviewed praised the frame's perceived sturdiness after assembly.

Who should skip or be cautious

• Heavy chewers or escape artists: The listing doesn't claim chew-proof or reinforced chew resistance. If your dog attempts to bite or bend metal, or is known to escape enclosures, consider a welded, bolted, or professionally installed pen rated for that behavior.
• Puppy-proofing needed: The listing doesn't give a chew/age rating and owner feedback flagged untidy cut ends. If you have puppies, plan for careful supervision and to file or cover sharp ends.
• Those needing a permanent, wind-certified structure: The canopy and stakes are intended for typical outdoor conditions, but the listing does not give wind-load ratings or claim to be a permanent building. For high-wind or extreme-weather environments, seek a permanent kennel or shelter engineered for those conditions.

Verdict

My read: the Moducrate 90inch outdoor dog kennel delivers a lot of the practical features most owners want in a temporary or semi-permanent outdoor run — a large interior footprint (93 x 93 x 63 inches), galvanized steel tubing with anti-corrosion coating, a waterproof/UV canopy, a reinforced lockable gate, and tool-free assembly aided by 150 cable ties. Owner feedback I reviewed supports that it assembles into a roomy, sturdy-feeling enclosure and that the cable-tie fastening approach is effective for the price point.

Key downsides to weigh: finishing quality on cut edges isn't consistently tidy in every unit, so you'll likely need to inspect and tidy seams after assembly to avoid sharp edges. The listing mentions ground stakes help with stability but is ambiguous about whether stakes are included and does not specify warranty length. If these are deal-breakers for you, confirm those details with the seller before buying.

Check before you buy (quick checklist)

• Confirm whether ground stakes are included or need to be purchased separately — the listing mentions stakes help stability but doesn't clearly state inclusion.
• Ask the seller for warranty length and terms if warranty duration matters to you; the listing promises a warranty but doesn't specify length.
• Plan to inspect every seam and cut end after assembly and keep tools or edge covers ready to tidy any unfinished edges.
• Decide whether cable-tie fastening fits your needs or whether you prefer bolted/welded panels — 150 cable ties are supplied for tool-free setup.
• Measure your placement area and account for the kennel's 93" x 93" footprint and 63" height before ordering.
