How to use

To install the doghouse, choose a flat, dry location, preferably under a porch or with additional protection from strong winds. Follow the assembly instructions included in the packaging to assemble the walls, floor, and roof. Once assembled, place a soft bed or blanket inside for added comfort. No special maintenance is required, but it is recommended to wipe the wood with a damp cloth every 2-3 months and reapply an exterior wood preservative once a year. Do not expose the doghouse to extreme temperatures for extended periods without supervision.

FAQ

Can I use this kennel for a 20 kg dog?

Not recommended. The internal dimensions (approximately 50 x 35 x 38 cm) are designed for dogs up to 10-15 kg. A larger animal will not be able to stretch out comfortably or turn around, which may cause stress or injury.

Does the wood need additional treatment before being used outdoors?

No, the wood comes pre-treated with eco-friendly preservatives and a UV-resistant exterior varnish. However, in very humid or rainy climates, it is advisable to apply an exterior wood sealer every 12 months to extend its lifespan.

How long does it take to assemble the shed?

Assembly typically takes 30 to 45 minutes with two people. It includes an illustrated manual and all pre-cut pieces. No glue or power tools are needed, just a manual screwdriver.

Can the shed be cleaned with soap and water?

Yes, you can clean the exterior surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive products or pressure washers, as these can damage the wood finish. The interior can be vacuumed or cleaned with a dry cloth.

Does it include any type of bed or accessory?

No, the kennel is sold with only the wooden frame, felt roof, and hardware. You will need to purchase a suitable size bed or cushion (50 x 35 cm recommended) for your pet's comfort.

Is it suitable for year-round outdoor use?

Yes, it is designed to withstand moderate weather conditions. However, in areas with heavy snowfall or prolonged frost, it is recommended to place the shed under a roof or on a porch to prevent excessive snow accumulation on the roof.
