Is this a crate that the poles are removable, or do they stay together and just slide to collapse the crate?

The poles slide and separate but they are not removable. They fold down for the crate t

No, the poles are not removable. They come apart when you break it down to collapse the crate for storage or to carry. When you set it up again, the poles come up and slide together within a rubber sleeve. I love this crate, very easy to set up and take down. High quality crate and I love having the three doors and the storage pouches. I take mine to shows all the time with my Aussie boyand just love this crate. In fact, I just bought a smaller one for my Aussie girl because I liked the first one so much.

Slide. They are great we have two for our Bassets and easy to pack for travel and put up in our favorite dog friendly hotel.

They are not removable. The top ones on the long sides unconnect mid way to allow it to fold.

These crates DO NOT interlock in any fashion when stacked on their sides. They simply set on top of each other. Any slight bump will cause the stack to tumble down. When stacked open side up they do interlock and the stack is very stable.

Yes. It is very simple to put together and take apart. Once you put it together it is a free standing metal cage and then you put the wood around it. All you have to do is take the wood covering off and then take the metal crate apart. After you have assembled it for the first time, the whole process takes literally less than 5 minutes. P.S. the dimensions are such that any pet store you go to has a soft mat for the bottom of the cage.

If you don't put the wheels on, they could be stacked, but are not really made to be stacked. If you have a dog that is active or moves around a lot the stacked crate will slide off. You probably could secure them with bungee cords, but I have never done it. They are however great crates. We go to 30-40 dog agility trials a year and have been using these type of crates for 15 years. We have two old ones that we use for barn/dirt trials and the newer Pet Trekkers for other trials. Solid, fold easily, pretty much chew proof, easy to clean and solid enough to use as a table at trials.

Same as Mr Swan said. I carry mine in the back of my SUV to prevent things from spilling. Easy to collapse if I need the extra room. This crate is very sturdy. Love mine.

Yes, as easy as it assembles, which takes 20 to 30 minutes. The first time takes a little longer. I have 13 of these and they assemble easy and consistent. That is important - the manufacturing is very uniform.If you plan on disassembling and transporting it often, be sure not to over tighten allen style bolts. Just snug them tight so you can untighten without stripping them. This crate is worth the price and superior to similar ones that look the same but lower priced.

There is no assembly required. The metal frame on the top has bars that fit into each other, secured by a sliding sleeve that secures the crate in the upright position. Much like a baby stroller, you can undo the sleeve and the Noz2Noz collapses and folds into itself when not in use. The size when folded is the size of the floor, so it depends on what you order as to how big it is for storage. The cover does not come off, but can be easily cleaned with a vacuum or washed with a hose and left to air dry. Best soft crate on the market!

No, the divider is in one piece. I believe it's purpose is to shrink the size of the crate to the size of the dog. As the dog grows, you move the divider.

The crate has clips to keep it closed when folded. I'm not sure if recommend puttig it into baggage check unprotected- there are some plastic parts that could easily get damaged.

As telescopic pole, one piece fits inside the other. There is a twist lock, like a screw, that tightens the two together. You loosen that and the pole slides down.

It's really easy. On each side of the crate top, there is a sturdy plastic "tube" that is attached to one of the frame pieces and slides back to front. You align the 2 frame pieces then slide the "tube" over the joint. It holds well even with our very active 72 lb dog! To take it apart, just slide the "tube" in the other direction and the 2 frame pieces separate. It just takes a matter of seconds to do it. This crate is wonderful. The dog loves it.

95% of all dog crates are collapsible so they can be stored or fit in a vehicle unassembled (remaining 5% is if you bought a steel box). Typically and airline is talking about the soft-shell type. This crate has side rails that prevent it from collapsing. Further information on this can be read on the manufacturers site: http://www.icc-case.com/

The pole come out of the box in several pieces. You have to screw it together. It does not collapse.

Patrick, the crate does collapse. It can be collapsed in less than 30 seconds.

There are 2 metal bars at each side of the top of the crate. There are actually 2 bars in 2 pieces that fit together. You pull them apart, and the crate collapses and fits nicely in the carrying bag. I have had 2 and ordered a third one this week. They are great and my dogs ( I can put 2 cocker spaniels in together.) You won't regret getting this crate.

I don't see why they wouldn't work when you collapse the crate. I've never done it though!

You can make it work sideways if you want to but there's no "gripping" features between the two crates on their sides to keep them from sliding off if some one knocks into them. If you are worried about them collapsing while being stacked sideways, that won't be an issue.
