I used mostly materials I had in my home already. I started with a bamboo garden stake that turned out to be the perfect diameter for the rear air vents. I cut two small pieces to the correct length and inserted them as backer rods, and then used DAP 230 Dynaflex sealant on the vents, inside and out. To make the front opening smaller, I glued the front panel of an old litter box with Loctite marine epoxy and sealed the edges with Dynaflex. I used a hairdryer to soften the plastic and cut it into shape with some snips.
For insulation, the easiest thing to use would have been 1 inch rigid foam insulation with foil backing. However, since it comes in 8 foot sheets, I couldn't fit one of these into my car. Instead I bought a roll of Reflectix insulation at HD and used it with some leftover Styrofoam I had at home. I cut sheets of both materials for the floor, ceiling and walls, and wrapped silver aluminum foil tape around the edges to seal them together. Reflectix is great stuff: non-toxic, adds extra warmth, prevents kitty claws from damaging the Styrofoam and is easy to wipe down if the cat sprays inside. So I created a box within a box with the six panels. Finally, I added some straw bedding, also purchased at HD for 10 bucks (one bale), snapped the lid in place and sealed the closure tabs with Gorilla tape.
The interior dimensions with the insulated panels in place are approximately 18 in. L x 11.5 in. W x 11.5 in. H. The new opening is about 6 in. H x 7.5 in. W. Perfect for one large cat to snuggle inside during winter. My cat Priscilla gave it a test run before I put the lid in place. I have to say that even with the extra work and money to make this thing weatherproof, it was a fun project and the final result is still way more affordable than the Kitty Tube I bought previously. The Petbarn is also sturdy plastic and weighs 10-12 lbs, so if you keep it outside up near a wall, like I do, it's heavy enough not to blow away. I have a townhome with no front porch, so I have the Petbarn tucked up against the house behind my azaleas. The first night I had it out Thor was already in it!
Update!!! It's 5 years later and my feral cats still love this Petmate shelter. The cat I originally bought it for died, but I've had others over the years that have used it. Other than having to replace the interior insulation panels from time to time, which have been clawed and sprayed by the occasional Tom discovering it, it has held up to the elements. I have other cat shelters that I have bought (Kitty Tube, Feral Villa, Ark Workshop cedar houses) and made (Rubbermaid storage bins) and all have their pros and cons, but this one has remained a cat favorite. I must emphasize though, as I said 5 years ago, if you are keeping it out in the elements you not only need to seal the closure tabs and rear vent with Gorilla tape but you HAVE to make the entrance smaller to keep out water. I wish this company would make a cat version of this house, with a smaller 6-inch diameter round entrance that was higher up. If they made cat shelters this company would make a fortune because there are tons of people out there who want affordable, durable and weatherproof options for their outdoor cats!!!

I have three heated cat houses by K&H and while these are great, I had to keep them in the garage to plug them in. At first it was great, but wildlife decided to move in and made the garage smell like possum.
So wanting to keep my garage clean and stink free, I wanted to find a sturdy cat house solution that would hold up outside in the wind, rain and coming snows.
I found these dog houses on Amazon and being familiar and comfortable with the brand, I read some reviews.
I felt confident enough to purchase three houses for the three mooches that moved in.
I took some reviewers suggestions and used them on mine.
I wanted to make them more insulated but still leave an escape hatch, so instead of retro fitting insulation and the like, I used one reviewers idea of placing the top opening facing the front and the bottom opening facing the back.
The cats can climb into them easily and they have an escape hatch in the back.
I sprinkled a small amount of cedar shavings to help keep pests away and then added a lot of fresh straw as an insulated bedding.
I added wood boards that I waterproofed on top of the houses. I set the houses 6 inches away from the house to the cats can use the back as an escape route.
The boards are set against the wall the house to keep snow and water from falling down the back of the houses to help keep the dry.
I also set the houses on some rubber pig pans to get them off the ground to help keep them dry.
Where they snap together, I placed waterproof tape over the open space at the suggestion of one reviewer.
As for the houses themselves, they are sturdy and look good. I had no problems with assembly and they snapped together well.
So far the cats are very happy with their new homes and they can get in and out of them with ease.
