Does the roof slope? Also is it easily knocked over by wind or animals?

Yes, the roof does slope, so that rain can run off of the hut. The answer to your second question about wind is no. Wind does not blow it over the hut is fairly heavy and stays exactly where its supposed to stay

Yes the roof slops but I would not have it out in the weather. and Yes I would think a big enough animal could push it over. It is great for indoors maybe in a garage or patio. Just make sure it is anchored down if you are going to leave them in it all of the time. It is well make, and I liked mine but I had my 3 Guinea pigs in it and they trie to eat it so I gave it to a friend.

Roof has a slope don't know about the rest of your question, I'm using it for quail inside another structure...

The roof does slope. The wind does knock it over. It will need to be anchored or sheltered to avoid that.

The roof does have a slight slope from front to back allowing for drain off. Ours has never tipped over due to winds it animals. We did set ours on some cement blocks because out rabbit likes to dig tunnels and we didn't want her to escape.

yes the roof has a slope.. note the roof also tilts up to access the top level. don't think wind would knock it over.. maybe a big dog could.. we built a sturdy wooden base about 22 inches off the ground to place the whole hutch on and make it easier to clean... For a beginning rabittry like we are ..it has been a very good little hutch. Note we only have 2 small Holland Lops in it.

Yes the roof slopes However there is no bottom to this cage. Could not see it being used outdoors

We've taken ours out into the yard for the kids to use, but only on very slightly uneven ground. Anything more than that and it would be unstable and prone to tipping.

I would say no. although this is a sturdy shed I would only suggest moderate wind,unless you attach to the cement or ground somehow, I would even maybe say not even that I could see the top blowing off in major wind.

It is not "snow rated" but I got 6 Pittsburgh winters out of my last one- just knock the snow off from underneath- tap with a rake or snow shovel & it slides off. Never had any problems with wind since I have the leg bottoms in concrete & 6 tie lines to connect the roof to the concrete

The roof has a handle and is easily moved from room to room. It's also not super heavy either. There aren't walls on every side, so stuff could fall out if it's dumped over, but I haven't found that to be a problem.

It has stakes to ground it and it can be secured to a wall as well. Mine was not on level ground and we have very high winds. It tends to be top heavy if you aren't careful. Mine lasted just one spring, the plastic isn't sun safe and cracked.

I imagine a raccoon or 2 could knock it over however I have filled the base to the brim with sand and have 2 sand bags draped over the base. So far all manner of creatures have been repelled. I do note however the doves have finally found a safe landing area and at times there are over 10 doves on or near the feeder waiting their turn.

It will rest on the sloping roof, but don't expect the rubber feet on it to last any time at all. Mine failed the first time I used it on a sloped asphalt shingle roof. Fortunately I discovered that the aluminum bars were punching through the soft rubber before they gouged a hole in the shingles. Not only did the aluminum cut through the rubber feet the soft rubber actually abraded away from the very minor movement of the ladder. These rubber feet are not ready for prime time. Little Giant needs to greatly improve the feet on the stand off bar. It may require they change of shape of the bar where the rubber feet are too. The hemispherical (half round) shape has a sharp edge that takes all of the pressure of the ladder when it is against a sloped roof. I firmly believe the stand off is designed to be placed against siding and not used on a sloped roof. The ladder itself is strong and easy to store and transport. It's on the heavy side, but very transportable. I seldom use mine, however. I prefer to get out the extension ladder with the stand off bar that the rubber feet can be trusted not to damage the roof. The bottom line is that the bar will work on a roof if you provide something addition on the ends of the bar where it rest on the roof to protect the roof. Do NOT trust the rubber feet to protect your shingles.

It has center support, that fell apart in the first storm. So I added two, one on each side and changed out the hardware. The roof material has held up well, I live in a very windy area.

It will not tip over, but the upper towers are prone to snap off at the base. They are mounted with thin plastic inside of a cardboard tube. The plastic will give way and the upper parts snap off. Had this happen 3 times to 2 trees. Customer service only gives a 30 day warranty and say anything breaking after that is normal wear and tear. Garbage!

Do you mean heavy? I would say no, for what it is it is very mobile. But it won't blow over easily, if it's empty.Do you mean cheesy? Definately not! It is rugged and wonderful for all terrain. spacious. Folds easily. I love it

It is windy enough here that if it does rain (5 times per year) it blows off or evaporates from the heat. I have never noticed and puddling. Make sure you don't pull it too tight when you install it. I paid a professional awning company to install it and now it is tearing pretty badly. It didn't even make it a full year but I think that could have been avoided if it had been installed a little looser which if it had been might not have ripped but might have allowed puddling?

Mine just collapsed last night, bringing the sides on the kennel down with it. Two panels have to be replaced now and a new roof has to be purchased. We had 6 inches of snow and another inch of ice on top. I didn't expect it to hold up.

Its very steady. I have had mine up in my yard for 3months. It has never fallen over! :D

If you are wondering about the little "log" it holds the stable roof, so it doesn't sink together. (I hope). It is really cute. Hope this helps.

There has to be some slope to the roof. I did my parents roof last night and their roof has a very very slight pitch. It took a little more effort since you have to pull the snow down rather than let gravity pull it down. But yes it works great!
