Stood the test of TimT
The first time we left our dog after buying the kennel during a heavy shower, he was suspicious and didn't use it and looked like a drowned rat on our return! After this, he realised he'd stay dry if he went in, and enjoyed being able to lie and see what was happening in the garden in all directions.
That was 10 years ago, (2012) and pleased to say the kennel has stood the test of time. The bar on the top and the lower edges of the roof felt now have signs of wear, but really can't complain.
