How to Disassemble a Folding Wire Dog Crate

Wire dog crates are popular due to their durability and the fact that they can be disassembled and folded up for easy storage. They come in many different sizes and are strong enough to be used for any type of dog. Wire crates come with a tray that slides underneath to catch any accidents and can be removed for easy cleaning. The cages themselves also can be cleaned easy by simply spraying them down with a garden hose.

      Open the top of the cage and let it fold down so it's resting against the side of the cage. For models that have a bottom also, flip the cage over and open the bottom the same way you opened the top.
