Can you add unlimited number of panel extensions? What would the diameter be for a 10-panel play yard?

I think you probably could make a 10-panel play yard without any issues. No idea of what the diameter would be, though.

The manufacturer recommends a maximum of 8 panels. However, I currently have 10 panels installed (we have 15-month-old twins, so the extra space is helpful). You need to have a sufficient angle/bend between each panel for stability. Having 10 panels attached already makes the play yard a bit unstable (the panels that join without much of an angle are prone to bending & twisting, and I suspect they could fall over if a bigger child pushed in the wrong spot). Adding additional panels would be even more unstable.We do not have our 10 panels arranged in a perfect decagon (a 10-sided figure), but if we did, it would be about 10 feet across.

It probably depends on the numbers of toys. I suggest thinking of it in terms of your space. I did the math, if you made a square with it, you would have 7.7 ft sides and 58 square feet - pretty big - but probably not for 10 kids. That is like putting 10 kids in a dorm room. Still, put some tape on the floor in the shape you want to find out for yourself. Segments are roughly 23 long - you would have 16.

This was confusing to me too when I was buying them. There are 10 panels which you interlock by "stacking" one on top of the other. If you head over to proslat.com, you can see videos of what the individual panels look like. The panels are 8ft. wide, and when all 10 panels are interlocked, they reach 4ft high (so each panel exposes about 4.8" of height). They are not 10 panels of 8x4's; this is the total area they cover. This gives you the flexibility to make your own custom heights, but can be cumbersome to set up (and you have to be careful to make sure they stay flush when screwing them into studs).

Yes. I bought two of these and add them all together. But I do not think you can just buy extra panels. You need to buy a whole new set to add on.

You can put 2 of these together as Carolyn and some other reviewers have said, however Carolyn's math is quite a bit off. I went and figured it out myself. A hexagon with 2ft sides is a little over 10 square feet, as it says. Adding the 2 panel extension makes it an octagon, which would be slightly more than 19 square ft, also as stated. The difference is that combining 2 yards would have 12 panels and be a dodecagon, which would be about 44.8 square feet. You'd have to get 3 sets of extensions to equal the same area, since all the sides are 2ft in length. The extensions currently cost 52.14, which is 156.42. The playyard itself is 155.96. Thus you are getting a better deal with 2 playyards. Not only is it slightly cheaper, it also gives you an extra door panel. That means it's more adaptable for using as 2 separate gates if you want to at some point.

Yes. I have the four panel one, and I have it in a square. You can buy the extra panels if you want it bigger.

Yes, that's what we did... just orient the panels correctly and there is no end to how many 6-panel sets you can attach; it's better to have a few spare panels anyway in case you want to modify the play-yard.Another tip: We recommend that you angle the corners where the panels meet (sort of like in the main product photo), so it is more stable... keeping multiply connected panels in a straight position is not as stable and will bend when baby leans on it; an alternative is to fasten the panels to wall and/or floor.

I don't really know I only bought the superyard color play and then extra panels for it from the same. Sorry Becky

There are extension kits and corner pieces aren't necessary because you can configure this 8 sided playyard any way you want, square, rectangle, round or oval. It's awesome I have twin 1 yr old boys and it's a life saver

The panels can be any thickness and you can adjust the track with the spacers they provide good luck with your project , send pics when your doneRich

Yuppin, each panel attaches individually to the next one, so you can configure any way you like. The top supports stretch width-wise over a 4' space. As long as width is 4', you should not have a problem lengthening unit as puppy grows. Its been over 3 yrs now and my unit is as good as day we put it together. Elements do not harm wire. If stiched tarp does not work over 4x4 you can easily find a smaller square waterproof tarp - 5x5 or 6x6 and use bungy cords to attach thru grommets. Then keep larger tarp for when you've reached 4x8 size.

you should be able to use three. two panels on two connectors and then connect those connectors to a third one. Much like the branches of a tree.

I only required one for my 80' of house length. According to materials that came with the unit, more could be added. Sorry I can't give a definite yes.

Each section is approximately 3 ft. You can make a circle, rectangle, any shape to fit your space. You can use all or part of the sections if you want. For inside or outside, great play area

Shouldn't be too difficult. Although I just folded a couple of sides onto each other. This way all panels are still connected yet it is quite a bit smaller. And when moved outside, no muss, no fuss all sides are still connected. EZ PZ.

yes you can,the extension is 10 gauge copper wire giving plenty of capacity.

Not 100% sure on expansion. I believe you can on all sets. And yes you can take it down to 2 lanes. That's how you get some of the longer layouts. We have never done that though.
