ShelterLogic4' Outdoor Pet Shade, Versatile Pet Canopy Tent for Dogs, Cats, Small Animals and Livestock, Blue

works fantastic and easy enough to put together solo; as others have mentioned give all the connecting pieces a little extra umph to really make sure it's going to fit the cover right. Took me about 15 minutes of struggling in the sun before reading reviews to make sure i wasn't crazy.

Great for my dog to stay shaded or dodge some rainfall. It is a very stable, well-made structure, but you need to follow directions carefully and make sure all pieces are pushed completely into their connections. Otherwise, the canvas section will appear not to fit/look too small. I screwed up the first time I put it together and thought there was something wrong with everything not fitting. So glad I tried again! The small size is impressively big!

Nice size, Velcro wraps poles and provides a good hold

Super easy to put together. Sturdy and secure. It comes with spikes to keep it on the ground. Huge and will fit several dogs. Good price.

I was looking for something like this for the summer for my dogs to go inside their kennels to keep them cool. Tarps tend to get loose and blow in the wind and eventually rip and tear apart. Dog houses are great for the winter time but they don’t have any airflow for the summer. My dogs like to lay in the cool dirt When they are inside their kennel runs in the summer. I have a fairly good size dog kennel breeding business and my dogs comfort is very important. So when I saw this, I thought it looked exactly like what I was looking for. I was concerned the dogs might tear up the tarp but the way that it is designed, the tarp is pulled tight with metal poles and it would be undesirable for them to chew on metal. I am a 53-year-old woman and it took me approximately 45 minutes to put this together. It wasn’t too terribly hard. some of the poles were a little tight fitting together but a little bit of muscle worked just fine.I will definitely buy more of these for the summer.

The instructions are horrible and the parts, though stamped with the part number, the print is unreadable so you have to guess. There were 2 parts that were not what was specified in the instructions, leaving the 2 cross bars about 3 inches short. Very poor design and customer experience.

OMG. What a royal pain this was to get assembled all the way. If one post doesn't fit into the other it's a huge wrestling match. I bought two. The first one took forever to assemble. And the posts wouldn't force their way in far enough for the canvas roof to fit right and entirely secure.The second one I thought was going better, until the last post/leg. And here we go again. The post won't insert and trying to keep it all aligned without help while you find some footing to force it in -- which it hasn't done -- is taking more patience and power than I have at this moment. I've been at it for more than 45 minutes . It's not rocket science. But all the parts do not cooperate. I will go back and try it later when it's daylight again and I am not so ticked off.Oh, and the feet don't stay secure so when you pick it up half of them fall off. i would consider inserting a small screw through the foot piece, into the leg tube so you're not chasing plastic feet all the time when you move it.

This went together, rather easily for me. When I first tried to put one pole into the other, like the other reviews, I thought, this is not going to fit. You really need to be patient and relax and when you hit it exactly the right way, it just slides in. I’ve had it for about two months in a heavy snow and sleet and rain and it’s holding up beautifully. I just wish my two Chihuahuas would get the gist of it better! Took about five days of doing their business in the snow and ice before they said OK this might work.
