The Coniston Weatherproof Plastic Dog House – Navy Blue

It's 4pm, the sky's gone the colour of slate, and your dog is at the end of the garden, looking at the back door.

Every owner knows that small, sharp guilt — rain starting while you're stuck on a call, the scratch at the door you can't answer yet. The Coniston is the answer you leave in the garden: a solid, dry, wind-anchored den that's theirs whether you're home or not.

It's engineered for exactly one climate: ours. The sloped roof sheds rain instead of holding it, a rainproof seal keeps the joins dry, and the raised floor means water runs under the house — never into it. Vents on three sides keep air moving through muggy afternoons, and two ground stakes hold it steady in the kind of wind that puts trampolines over fences.

And when muddy season does its worst, the deep navy shell wipes or hoses clean in minutes. No timber to rot, no re-staining, no kennel smell that never leaves. Just one less thing to feel bad about when the forecast turns.

Why dogs settle here:

• Sloped, rain-shedding roof with a rainproof seal at the joins
• Raised floor — water pools under it, not in it
• Air vents on three sides for summer airflow
• Two ground stakes anchor it on blustery days
• Crack-resistant, non-fading, weatherproof PP shell — hose-down clean
• Generous 38 × 64 cm doorway and 97 × 89 cm footprint — fits medium and larger breeds, Spaniels and Staffies up to Labradors
• Light enough to move at 12 kg: lawn in summer, utility room or garage in winter

Specifications:

• Overall: 97 × 89 × 95 cm (L × W × H)
• Doorway: 38 × 64 cm
• Material: PP plastic
• Weight: 12 kg
• Colour: navy blue

Sizing honesty: check the 38 cm doorway against your dog's shoulders — giant breeds need bigger. The floor is bare by design; add a wipe-clean cushion sized to the base to turn shelter into den.
