The 36-inch MidWest Ovation folds like a standard wire crate but swaps the swinging door for an up and away design that clears the entry, plus a divider panel for resizing as a puppy grows.

Overview
MidWest's Ovation crate, model 1936, is a 36-inch single-door folding metal crate built for medium to large dogs, with an up and away door that swings clear of the opening and a leak-proof plastic pan on the floor.
The up and away door design is the differentiator from a standard wire crate: instead of swinging out into the room, it lifts clear of the doorway to save floor space. A divider panel is included so the interior can be resized as a puppy grows, and the whole frame folds flat for storage.

Who it's for
