Can you use a tarp on top & a side in case of rain?
Yep, we actually spent about $70 on a tarp for the top, it blocks the rays & where we have it there is always shade in at least 1/2 of it. Don't want them to get too hot We may move it in the summer, under the trees, but for the winter this seems like it will work well (next to the house to block the wind & rain w/easy access for when it snows). We spent alot of $$ on it, but it's well worth it. The flooring is rubber mats on part of it, then some grass. If it's gonna rain, I think I will just leave them in the house, plus they have a dog house in there too But if needed, we will buy a tarp for the side.

Where did you get your kennel at?
We got it at TSC (a tractor supply store-it was about $250 & the mats on the bottom are truck mats-about $130 for the both of them & &70 for the tarp). Well worth the price for the life of my girls!
