A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Fold a Nylon Dog Crate

A nylon dog crate, sometimes called a "soft crate," is a foldable, tent-like crate that is sold in different sizes so that no matter how small or how large of a dog you have, you're dog will fit in comfortably. These soft crates are used for traveling because they can be folded down into a small square and stored in just about any little space. The water-resistant material they are made of is also good so that your dog's accidents won't seep out of the crate.

Instructions

    • 1

      Unzip the front and back sides of the nylon dog crate so that when you are folding down the crate, air won't get trapped inside.

    • 2

      Tuck the sides of the crate in toward the center while pushing the front and back sides towards each other.

    • 3

      Fasten the hook-and-loop fasteners on the sides of the nylon dog crate to each other so that the crate won't come undone. Note that not all nylon crates have this feature so if your crate doesn't have these, skip this step.

    • 4

      Insert the nylon dog crate into its carrying bag if it has one. If your crate has a carrying bag, it would have been provided at the time of purchase. If you don't have a bag, skip this step.
