FAQ

Is it resistant to rain and wind?

Yes, the treated wood and waterproof felt roof do protect against water, but it's recommended to place it in a sheltered location to avoid damage from strong winds. It's not a watertight structure, so in extreme storms it's best to bring your pet indoors.

Does it require any additional wood treatment?

The shed comes pre-treated with an eco-friendly, weather-resistant varnish. No additional products are necessary, but if you wish to extend its lifespan, you can use a non-toxic, outdoor-grade wood preservative every 2-3 years.

Can I use it for a cat that goes outside in the garden?

Yes, it's perfect for cats who enjoy the outdoors. The spacious entrance and cozy interior offer a safe haven from the sun, rain, and other animals. Add a soft blanket for extra comfort.

How do you clean the shed?

Clean the wood with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding abrasive products. The roof felt can be gently brushed to remove leaves or dust. Do not use pressure washers or submerge the shed in water.

Does it include assembly instructions?

Yes, the package includes a step-by-step illustrated manual and all necessary hardware (screws, hinges). Assembly is simple and requires no specialized tools; it takes approximately 30-45 minutes.

Is it suitable for cold climates?

Yes, wood acts as a natural thermal insulator. For very cold climates, place a heated bed or a thick blanket inside. The raised base prevents direct contact with the icy ground, improving your pet's comfort.
