Is the 6 or 8 panel sturdier? Or are they about the same?

Hi Suzanne, I bought the 6 panel and it appears quite sturdy in the hexagon shape. I would assume the Octogon would also.I set ours up behind the couch against the living room wall and the back of the couch. It is in a rect shape there but it works good for my Maltese doggies. Then again, bear in mind they are quite different than say--a 2-3 yr old rambunctious child!

I have the 6 panel and it it pretty sturdy. They all will move a little because they aren't tied down to anything. My 11-3/4 month old granddaughter tries to climb up the side and it holds pretty steady. The other grandmother has the 8 panel and seems to be as steady. They will move just slightly. I feel it is safe. As always you have to check regularly. I am very pleased.

I have the 6 paneled one and it is rock solid. My 22lb. 11 month old is now pulling herself up on it and it doesn't budge.

I have the 6 panel which is more than adequate. I do not think that adding two more panels would affect sturdiness. I have used it in several different shapes and sturdiness has been great. Hope this helps.

I think they are about the same, although when you go to fold them up, the 8 panel is harder to fold, with all the panels requiring different amounts of pressure to fold.

The panels are not stable unless they are attached to each other. If you have two walls where you could attach eye bolts to each end then attach large clips to the panels that would work well. You will.probably need three eyebolts and clips for each side to keep it steady.

No idea. They are sturdy and so nice because of the interchangable factor. We don't use the door much just resection for whatever we need it for. Have a total of 10 panels.

It's per panel! The seller was not very clear. There are at least 7 panels needed.

I have the one with 11 panels and it's pretty big, enough for a puppy or other small critter. I used it for my piggy, and it was too big for my living room. Other than that, really great product.

Yes this is an eight panel pen. You can use as many panels ad you want in any type of configuration. The panels are about thirty inches wide and attach to each other with a long pin that goes from top to bottom. The pin can also be pushed into the ground and make the total pen very stable. I have two of these pens and they are the best quality and value for the money that I have ever seen. I used four panels to make a 30"x30" potty pen, and then I used 12 panels to make an outdoor play pen. This is a great bang for the buck, even with the shipping cost it is worth it. Kris

There are 8 panels and they are approx 1in thick so stacking each panel on top of the other is 7-8 in wide.

Yes it comes with 8 panels, we started with six and added the last two later.

series 6 has 10 bit panel. series 5 had an 8 bit panelOnly difference is 650 has a gloss screen - which is horribly reflective in the sunlight. Many reviewers suggest the 630 over the 650, because the contrast ratio (40,000:1 vs. 50,000:1) is really just splitting hairs.

I didn't notice any difference in "sturdiness." The pieces of wood are solid, they stack just the way i remember, some loose, some not. Same amount of wood on wood friction. The tower is no easier or harder to knock over.

The one I got has six panels and I'm pretty sure that is what was advertised. Thanks

Very sturdy. I have moved it several times. It is pretty solid. There are two metal extents attached to the side panels that provide balance. There are also numerous videos on-line that you may want to view, too. Just google the exact name and model number.

yes, you can use 3 or 4. I am also just using three, but it's nice to have that extra panel in case I want to use it somewhere else.

Sort of. If you completely force two panels together it is very difficult to separate them. If you left it only halfway together in two places, it would be portable. But then it's not as sturdy.

While I have 4 stacked and 2 stacked, the stacks are very, very stable. The engineering and build of these kits is very precise and tight when assembled. In my opinion, if the base of your site for the rack is truly flat, a six-tier rack will be secure and stable. I love these racks... They make Chinese manufacturers look good!

you would be better off with next unit up which is the 7-8.The 4-5-6 is not heavy enough.

Correct on one panel. How many you need will Depend on the size of your awning
