The cover of the Soft Kennel is made from highly durable, water-repellent 600D nylon fabric and is reinforced at the corners with 900D nylon. The foldable Soft Kennels feature openings at the front, side, and top. All three openings are equipped with very sturdy zippers, and the mesh panels are made from fiberglass-reinforced mesh fabric, which is significantly more robust and durable than regular plastic mesh. The bottom of the foldable kennel is rubberized and waterproof. To protect your dog from sunlight or drafts, the Soft Kennel is equipped with roll-up shades on both sides and at the back. Additionally, the kennel has safety straps at the upper and lower corners for securing it in the car or on the ground.
