Review on Petmate Barnhome III: Durable Shelter for Small Pets up to 15lbs by Jody Hatfield

Revainrating 5 out of 5

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR FERALS - READ MY SOLUTION for No Back Exit

PERFECT 2 WAY SOLUTION: My little barn house came in just in time as a cold weather shelter for the feral cat I feed. I was concerned about the lack of a back exit and wanted to edit it out. THEN I REALIZED THAT THE PERFECT SOLUTION IS TO TURN THE TOP AND ATTACH IT THAT WAY! CLAMPS STILL FIT! NOW YOU HAVE 2 HALF SIZE HOLES - still the perfect cat size! Each hole measures approximately 6" x 6". The rear one doesn't have a tab, but I solved that by partially wrapping bubble wrap over the exit and closing the clips to secure it. I see that 4 clamp connections can leak and this is easy to solve even with 4 pieces of pipe. Ribbon. As for the isolation factor: it's made from an extremely strong compound, similar to rubber with plastic - I'm not sure. So it has some insulating properties. When we get freezing temperatures, I cut some sheets of rigid styrofoam and attach them to the inside of the sides. below and above. Add a blanket and voila! I am very happy with this solution for my sad wildcat. She was content to live in a box covered with a 3 mil black garbage bag. Today she will be in Nirvana!
