Why it matters
The cot house is made from water-resistant, heavy-denier fabric over a raised cot. In winter, close the window flaps; in summer, the mesh center, two windows and open entrance let air through. It holds up to 200 lb, assembles without tools on non-skid feet, and the cover and canopy remove for washing. The large is 30 x 42 x 32 in. One-year warranty.
