I read the previous reviews AFTER ordering this dog house and was very worried about my purchase. But honestly I was shocked how WRONG a lot of the reviews were in my opinion.
My dog is an 80lb shepherd who is OUT OF CONTROL, lol, he's a great dog but he is very large and is still a puppy so very hyper and he destorys...well... everything!!!!! and not only does he LOVE his dog house, but he has not been able to destroy it like others in their reviews mentioned. He's jumped on it and pushed it and its still stand there just fine.
It's basically made of thick plastic so it "seems" flimsy when you take it out of the box but once its snapped together it is quite sturdy. The first time I put it together it did seem flimsy then I realize a couple of the snaps were not fully in place, once I corrected that I have NO complains on its durability.
It is hallow, as far ss no insolation so I got a dog mat for inside and put a blanket inside but he'd rather sleep in it empty as he pulls all the bedding out every time I turn around...
Over all I think its a great dog house and worth the money!!!

I have an older dog, so didn't want to spend a ton of money for something, not knowing how long it would be used (sadly), despite the other reviews, I wanted to find out myself. It was very simple to put together, I did not find it flimsy, maybe if all the tabs aren't locked into place. Someone said theirs blew away in a wind storm, but it IS recommened to be fastened down, which I did, made a frame of wood and fastened it to it, seems to be very sturdy. I cut a scrap piece of carpet to fit and my dog is now in HEAVEN! Yes it isn't insulated, but think that can be easily remedied by anyone who is a little bit handy. I think what I like the best is not having to paint it, wash it down and be done with it! It is also a very cute house.Best Deals for Suncast DH350 Dog House
I bought this dog house for my neighbor, who owns a very large wolf hybrid. Unfortunately they had the poor thing tied to the side of their house with nothing to sleep in. So I gave this to their kids as a Christmas gift. It is very very large and easily fits their 60 pound dog inside (although the door is a bit low, so he has to bend down to crawl in).I assembled the house prior to giving it to them. It took me about an hour by myself. I like to consider myself a tough little lady, but I'm not as strong as I think I am. For the most part this house was self explanitory and decently simple. I didn't bother to look at the instructions. There were a few times that were quite frustrating because the peices wouldn't fit together properly. It took a lot of strength to get them to 'click' into place. But eventually I got them all put together. It's simply a snap-together assemblyno extra hardware required. If it's put together right the house is very very sturdy. I could imagine that if it was put together wrong it would be very wobbly and unstable. But if you take your time it will turn out to be quite strong.
The plastic is very thick and durable. I highly doubt any pup could easily chew it apart and I don't think the sun or rain will wear it down. We live in Alaska so our cold temperatures take a toll on plastic itemsthey often crack. But this dog house has heald up as good as my dogs' wooden ones. The blue and grey color is very subtle so it doesn't look like a gawky plastic accessory in your yard. And I think it fits in quite nicely with my neighbor's swingset (that also shares the same color scheme).
This house comes with plastic flaps that keep wind out of the door. We didn't put these on, as their dog has the uncanning ability to make anything that 'waves' into a toy. I was afraid he would chew them up and swallow them. But for calmer dogs I'm sure it would be a greatly appreciated block from the wind. Even so the door is small enough to keep strong gusts out. And the walls offer a decent amount of protection. There are no gaps or spaceswhich is a nice way to keep it insulated and warm. The floor is simply plasticwhich doesn't offer much insulation, but is nice and cool for summer.
Because it's just plastic it wouldn't be adequate for winter time. For the summer it offers a very cool place. But in the winter we fill it with grass to keep it insulated. So far it has heald up really wellin both winter and summer. It hasn't been chewed (surprisingly) and the pieces stay together as if they were glued. For the price it was a great buy. I don't think you could find a wooden dog house of this size for such an affordable dollar amount. And if you just need a shady area or enclosed spot to keep your pupthis would work ideally.
