TRIXIE Large natura Classic Outdoor Dog House, Weatherproof Finish, Elevated Floor, Brown 45.5 x 31 x 32.25 inch

I bought this for my pitty that lives outside- I have it under roof coverage so haven't tested whether it's truly weatherproof- Appears to be able to hold my dogs weight nicely with no extra support underneath- Wood looks to be engineered but it's pretty solid- Installation was ok, not straightforward though.- Did not use the springs as they look so unstable and cheap. It doesn't matter as you can open the lid and hold it anyway- So far it's accomplishing what it was intended for- Need to use it longer to better understand how far it can go but it's a rating of 5 so far- Give it a try - it's not the cheapest one but it looks a better option than the others

I purchased this dog house to convert into a duck house. I did make some improvements, however for the price i got a really good start.*Upon unboxing, i noticed the piece with hinges was broken in half. The box it shipped in was in great condition so unsure how it happened but i used some wood glue to fix it. Problem solved.*Assembly took me less than an hour. It was very straightforward, all my holes lined up evenly enough. I assembled it alone. The wood had several gaps throughout ( Sides,bottom,corners) I used paintable white caulking meant for exterior windows to plug all gaps. I caulked each board on the bottom both top and bottom and also the sides. This made it extremely sturdy, at this point i was able to use a hand truck to move it around*I wanted to make it completely waterproof so i used some black truck bed liner on the inside. i did several coats*i needed to make ventilation so i added a 2" round plastic vent on each side and caulked it in, then painted the entire outside roof includedi have had it outside for four months at this point, it is holding up extremely well. I added a small piece of wood to trap the bedding inside because they kept spilling out the bedding and that seemed to fix the problem. one of the hinges broke almost immediately, i removed it and have been using just the right side , it still functions the same. i do anticipate having to replace the hinges at some point but thats a very menial taskI would recommend this dog house, however you just need to add a little tlc to improve it. Our ducks and geese use it every night (we have three cayuga ducks and three brown chinese geese and they fit very snugly with the male geese at the entrance protecting the others)

There are a lot of mixed reviews on this product so I felt obligated to post my two cents. This dog house is everything you would expect for a $130 product. We were considering building our own but when we calculated the cost of materials we were already in excess of $150 and we would have spent an entire weekend building it.Pros: I purchased this in the XL for my 60lb pitbull and my 25lb corgi mix to share and it is plenty spacious for them. It is attractive looking and sturdy enough for them to bound in and out of it without it breaking. The hinged top is awesome, and the removable floor is sweet too. I really like that it's up off the ground so it won't get all wet in the weather. It only took about an hour to assemble and was very straightforward. They both went right in and took a nap, so I think they approve. It also smells nice.Cons: I had to stain it to weatherproof, but I painted it to match my house so it looks great. The wood is very thin and somewhat flimsy and I suspect that I will need to put some effort into insulating it further if the pups are going to stay warm in it this winter. The floor is a thin material and I'm almost certain that I'll have to replace it at some point. The hinge arms that hold the top together are total junk and I threw them out instead of installing them. The hinges on the back of the roof are pre-installed, but there are these arms that are supposed to prevent it from opening too far and snapping off, fortunately mine is up against the wall of my garage so it don't need the arms to ensure it doesn't fall open.In summary, if you're looking for a dog house that's as sturdy as a human house or if you have a really large destructive dog I wouldn't buy this product. If you're looking for a reasonably priced dog house and you're willing to put some effort into making it weatherproof and insulated then this is a great product.

Look, we’re all aware that it’s not the most sturdy doghouse. You cannot expect to pay this much and get a fantastic house that will last you many years. Beyond that- it’s great. Pros and cons-PROSEasy to assembleLooks niceThe largest size fits my Borzoi (75 lbs and 30” at the shoulder)Pretty weather proof out of the boxCONSAbsolutely 100% needs custom reinforcement, see my photos to see how I did this myself for stupid cheap and in just a few minutesNeeds a coat or two of weather sealing paint/deck sealantThe wood is pretty flimsy, so if you have a dog that chews up everything you won’t see this last long. It doesn’t take damage well. My dogs don’t do that so it’s okLifted off the ground which is a great featureAll in all, this dog house is an excellent base to start with. Add insulation, weather sealant and support to the floor and you’re good to go. I’ve provided photos on how I did that, and it only took me a few hours to do 2 dog houses and spent under $50 on product. First photo is the insulation installed, second is how I added boards to support the floor, and third is the type of insulation I bought. Clear Deck sealer from Lows for the weather proofing.

Tres belle niche facile a monter. Je recommande.

Schnell aufzubauen und leicht zu transportieren!

Tenía dudas sobre la caseta porque ya había comprado otra de este estilo y la base no me convencía porque era una tabla, pero en esta caseta son 3 bloques de tablas duras y aguantan perfectamente el peso de perros grandes.La caseta es tan firme que le gusta subirse en ella.Además entran 2 perros de su tamaño perfectamente. Mi perro pesa 23 kilos.La volvería a comprar sin dudar.

Es tal y como lo describe el fabricante.

Lo utilizo para poner las piedras de los gatos en la terraza, de esta forma cuando llueve no se mojan. Es muy práctico porque se levanta la tapa y puedes acceder al interior fácilmente.
