gnasher16 31,602 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 What about condensation? in plastic summer and winter? As long as you,ve got ventilation you shouldnt get condensation......as the old saying said " put a plastic barrel next to a fancy wooden doghouse and see where the dog spends the night ! " ............Look at how germs/bacteria are held in the joints of wood..............first dog houses i ever used back yonks ago were blue plastic barrels......an old yank friend of mine used to say the bedding and feedpan are going to insulate your dog more than any doghouse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
