A heavy-duty, professional-grade insulated dog house designed for extra-large and heavy breeds (up to 150 lbs). Features an elevated base on rot-resistant skids, a robust 2x4 floor framing structure to prevent deflection under heavy loads, double-wall lap siding aesthetics using exterior-grade plywood, and a weather-tight 6:12 pitch gable roof with calculated overhangs to shed rain away from the structure.
