Light weight for 95 pounds?

First I want to say how nice it looks. It seems the right size for my needs. But it would be easier to assemble if the long bolts weren't threaded or 2 long enough to insert a nut. Then the roof. Oh roof. Collecting was a lot of fun. You need to align the back inward and then try to figure out where the hinge screws are supposed to go. There are no pre-drilled holes so sit on it, make a mark with a pencil, flip it over, find a spot, try screwing it in, put it back together only to find you've gone too far are. on the side and too far back so it doesn't close properly. Then remove the screws and make more holes to get it right this time. Of course it would be nice to have a template, or at least they pre-drilled those holes in the right place. As you turn it over, the pebbles will fall off like sand all the time. I barely aligned and tightened it. Just hope the wood doesn't expand and contract too much and throw it off completely and not close it properly. Then we move on to the flooring. It's nice that you can put them in, but the £95 valuation? Without a cross brace to sit in the middle of the earbuds? You will need to buy some wood and prop it up as there is no way it can support such a large dog without some cross braces to sit on in the middle of these pieces. Oh, they have their small parts front to back but need to sit on them left to right and side to side to adequately hold a 40+ pound dog. BUT I guess for the price you can't expect perfection. I'll just have to add my own support if I put in some insulation for the winter as the slatted floor is open and cold air can flow straight through. Will I buy it again with my knowledge? Are you probably looking for a different type, so no. Will it meet my needs? Once I complete all modifications to make it really support my dog, yes. But it costs me another $50 to reinforce it so my dog actually weighs up to 95 pounds.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
