Why it matters
The house measures 55.1 x 33.1 x 34.8 in with about 9.36 sq ft inside, made of solid fir with iron reinforcement on exposed edges against chewing. A sloped asphalt roof sheds rain and snow, a 2.1 in raised floor keeps it off damp ground, and a flexible PVC door curtain cuts drafts. It weighs about 73 lb. 90-day warranty.
