If I leave the porch door open for my dogs to come in and out will I be able to keep the sleeping area bug free? Is the divider completely sealable?

Yes, the sleeping area has a regular D-shaped zipper door. The front section has an upside down T-shaped opening with 3 zippers. Those don't totally seal, but are good enough.

It does do a good job keeping out the bugs, so long as one of my dogs does not stand holding it open. The only problem I had with it is the tabs that snap together do not all hold well. I zipped a couple screws in to hold it together it several spots.

We have not found that the case for ours. It doesn't stand straight up, but it is open enough that our burrow loving pup can get right in there. It is the best thing we ever bought for this dog - she sleeps and therefore we can sleep! We remembered this lesson when we forgot it once when out of town.

Yes, it is designed to keep bugs, like moths, out. It is even cedar-lined. There are no holes after zippered up. There are three (3) zippers - 1 vertical & 2 horizontal that meet at the very top. Because they are three individual zippers, they do not meet for a complete seal. However, there is a cloth flap that covers the top opening so it protects/covers up that slight opening.

Hi Germaine, I don't have a pet door so I am unable to answer your specific question...but I purchased this Fun Run to go along with the Happy Habitat outdoor tent since they can connect to each other using the zippered doors but it takes much work to get the zippers to inter-zip with each other...but the zippers are not as secure as I would like since 2 of my 3 cats have figured out how to manipulate the zippers and can easily escape-I wish the zippers were more heavy duty. So I have improvised and have figured out to place a heavy flower pot on the zipper closure so the cats stay put inside the tent. hope this helps with your question on other uses..........Marc Hi Germaine, I don't have a pet door so I am unable to answer your specific question...but I purchased this Fun Run to go along with the Happy Habitat outdoor tent since they can connect to each other using the zippered doors but it takes much work to get the zippers to inter-zip with each other...but the zippers are not as secure as I would like since 2 of my 3 cats have figured out how to manipulate the zippers and can easily escape-I wish the zippers were more heavy duty.

Yes, only when you are outside it can be shut all the way. No from when I'm inside, the doggy door does not allow the door to close the entire way.

My wife indicates that the interior divider can be closed between the main area and the entry area. The entry area can also be completely closed from the outside (so people outside cannot see in). We've only had it out once on a 4 day camping trip since we purchased it last summer, and had a good experience with it.

It's closed yes, but, not sealed - there's a small opening at the top of the zipper that is exposed, while covered there with a bit of a flap, I'm thinkin', um that I can't say it'll save you from moths - I once lived where there were silverfish - I'd bet this would not protect from silverfish. Thinkin' some more - zip this closed with some moth balls, maybe it'll do. Can say that this product has serviced me very well - it shows like no wear/tear and I have it filled and change out seasonal clothes, with too a drawer along side it that rubs it, but hasn't broken it - it is a good product.

ours is in a screened in porch that has a doggie door, critters can come through the doggie door but in all the years I have owned these, never once has a critter got into it.

no. There is a magnetic closure so unless your pet hangs halfway in the door, no bugs enter.

The 'door' zips all the way around. There are two zipper pulls, so you can zip one side shut and leave the other open if you choose. The fabric is rather see-through though, so something to keep in mind.

Yes it will close just as it did before. However, the dogs can't use their pet door when the screen door is fully closed because the pet door will be blocked by the screen in this position. You can either close the screen half way (so that the pet door isn't blocked) or close the screen completely and play doorman when your pets want to go out or come in.

You can prop open or even remove it. Either way. Won't affect feeding. Door is just to keep flys and such out.

The IDEAL pet door has a seal on the outside half that is supposed to fit uniformly on the house door so as to keep the weather out. If the house door that you are considering installing the pet door in is an outside door (leading outside of the house), then you will have trouble getting a good weather seal if the house door has an irregular surface. To better help answer your question, try watching the installation video that is provided on the left side of the page on the IDEAL pet door site. Hope this helps!

Yes. I don't use the divider. This would make it less dogproof I would thinlk for smaller dogs and promotes more tracking of litter but it works. I don't use the divider on mine.

Your correct that bugs can enter however mine doesn't dry out likely because I use it daily. If it's kept in a closed cupboard I'd say bugs are not an issue but yes it is open to the elements.

There is a split, zippered door center front to access the porch. You can enter the tent that way or through a side entrance that goes into the sleeping quarters. The "rigid" door is at the side, entering the sleeping area. The other two "doors" are split-zippered entrances from the front of the tent (narrow side). This is a great tent that is very well built and easy to assemble.
