does it hold up to wind and rain to be used as an out door dog house?

No. The tent is made to be light and portable. For use just for dog shows or indoors for a few hours. None of the fabric tents would hold up long in the weather.
1291207
no, it is meant only as a temporary shelter. it is not sturdy enough for a permanent shelter.

That would not be a good use of it--it is very sturdy but a heavy rain would get through it---it's nylon, not canvas. Water could get in through the bottom/base as well if the ground is wet.

This is not an outdoor dog house. It is a temporary shelter for use under supervision at such things as a dog show. A hard wind will blow it away even with the stakes in. Rain will eventually soak through. I love it for use at agility trials both indoors and out, but I would not leave my dogs unattended in this. In hot weather I also put a fan inside as it can get stuffy.

it will stand up to light wind, we add a couple of extra tie downs to it if it gets breezy and it works great. we use the four tent stakes that come with it and then add two cords, one on each side if it gets to wobbly with wind. it stays up great!

Only used once it was not windy or raining but I would believe it would hold up good

I do not think this will stand up to high winds(not sure what high winds constitutes), it can take 40-50 mile winds with no issues as long as it is secured to the ground. Above that I think if anything major like hurricanes or strong storms are coming through you`d have to take of the roofing panels if you don`t want it to get damage. The gazebo is somewhat mediocre(the screws strip out very easily) but it is durable and a great price. There is no snow where I live(there never will be#southeasttexas) but I think it would be fine.

Yes. But I don't think it would be able to withstand the elements. Wind,rain, etc

I've only experienced light rain over it while using an umbrella, but it held up pretty good. It was wet in the outside and dry inside.

I have used it in breezy conditions (but not heavy winds) and it held up. However, the canopy is quite large and it catches the wind. It will be hard to manage in heavy winds. It is sturdier than most umbrellas sold today.

This house is heavy enough I don't think wind would be a problem unless the wind is really really strong. I guess u could put a couple of bricks under the "sink" or rig up a tie down like for a tent if u were really concerned

I live in Colorado and have had both snow and heavy rain and had no issues. I did built a shelving system inside though just to be safe in the event that water somehow came in the bottom (hasn't happened as of now). I can't speak to wind as I placed the shed right next to the house and it's fairly protected. I will say though that after you get it built and have it loaded with garden stuff it becomes pretty sturdy. Hope that helps.

No it will hold up very well. I live in a area that gets a lot of wind and it has never fell over. I leave it up out side for week. Great fence

It would hold up in the sun and rain. But I'm not sure the seals are tight enough to keep the water out. It doesn't look air tight. We used it in the garage.

Yes. We mounted ours outside over the door to the back porch. Works great! We got it mainly as a "doggie door". Keeps the hot out and the cool in. Keeps the bugs out and I can leave the door open enough for the dogs to go in and out. We are very happy with it.

Yes, it can handle strong wind. We loved ours in all weather. In fact, ours did well until the snows hit. We got a foot of snow and ours crumples like an accordion. It was about 10 months old. We were very sad to lose it.

It holds up pretty good but if its to windy you can put stakes at the corners of the stand. They come with the umbrella.

Yes it is weather proof and yes it will hold up in rainy weather. I used it all summer in Colorado where it was exposed to all sorts of weather with no problems.

Yes, absolutely. As long as its inside the doghouse so it doesn't get rained on, then it will work fine for your purpose.
