Backyard Discovery 7'x5' Waggin' Retreat Cedar Wood Dog Kennel, Galvanized Steel Roof

I love how the kennel came out! It's just what I was looking for. I have a 55 lb dog and it's great for her. She's an inside dog, and this is a perfect babysitter when we'll be out for a few hours. It's pretty and functional, very sturdy. It took a bit more assembly than originally anticipated but we got it done. I do want to add 2 more latches to the back doors as a personal preference, but probably not needed. Overall though I love it and thinking about a gazebo from them next!

Sturdy, looks great, and very functional! We had to put our two pups outside after we found out I have a dog allergy. This made me feel a ton better about having them out there. We installed a heater inside their sleeping area and the pups are very comfortable when it's chilly. We also installed rubber flaps on door to keep heat inside. It had an app that reads directions to you that was very helpful! Took my husband and a friend to put it together in about 8 hours. Would definitely buy again!

This kennel was a pretty straight forward build. My husband put it together in a few days. The materials are quality and all the parts were extremely organized. The kennel is so aesthetically pleasing and it looks nice in our back. We love our new dog kennel!

This is the best quality product I could find for this size dog house. This one in particular has storage features and warranties that others don't provide. The paper and/or digital assembly instructions make life easy. Every piece is labled accordingly. Thank you Backyard Discovery!!

Bought and assembled this about 6 months ago, and it has received TONS of envious comments from friends and neighbors. Using the BILT app I put this entire thing together in a couple days by myself. I highly recommend staining/sealing all wood parts prior to assembly - wood is a little soft and would probably get destroyed by the elements in a couple years' otherwise. I used 'cedar naturaltone', so the color wasn't really altered at all. *Another noteworthy tidbit- I built this for my puppy who was still teething and she chewed up the crossbeam on the floor piece. I had to install a few metal strips in order to prevent any additional damage. She's 7 months now and 40 pounds- this is a perfect retreat for her.

Even though I have an English Springer and an English Setter. I got this for my town chickens. With just a few simple add-ons. It holds my girls wonderfully. Easy to keep clean. It smells great. Looks fantastic not an eye-sore like so many coops are. I don't understand why they have not made a coop yet. Goes great with our greenhouse from here.

I have looked for years for a structure to use as a catio but also to be attractive enough to complement the back patio. This kennel is amazing! Superb quality, strong and looks great! Even my professional assemblers were impressed! Not to mention it arrived 6 days after ordering. I applied water seal prior to assembly but otherwise was ready to assemble out of the box. It is now the pride of the neighborhood :)! If you are thinking about ordering it, don't wait! I promise you won't be disappointed!

We bought this about a month ago for our new furry friend who will be a hunting dog and live primarily outside to be acclimated to the weather. We wanted something with plenty of room and that is exactly what we got. We installed concrete blocks to keep the building level. The instructions were very easy to follow, I would highly recommend sorting the parts. There are a lot of them. High-quality. If there's only one complaint, I would share it as it comes with a plastic custom Cut out form for the feeding bowls we have bought three different sets of bowls that do not fit for the price I would include the bowls and save the frustration for the owners. It is beautiful and blends well with our backyard oasis it looks like it belongs and the most important part is Boomer loves it.

This is a great kennel. It's really nice looking and offers a nice, comfortable, covered area for the dogs to rest. This was exactly what I was looking for. I built it by myself, and it took 4 or 5 days due to cold weather. A couple of guys could probably build it much quicker, but i'm a sixty year old woman and was able to build it myself. I highly recommend it. i would definitely use the book of instructions and the online tool through bilt. Some things in the book are incorrect, and using bilt helped me figure out the correct parts and order. It was time-consuming and not easy but doable.
