A clean foam shipping box (fishmongers, pharmacies, labs) with an entrance, straw and film over the roof. ASPCApro mentions coolers about 2 inches thick as an inexpensive waterproof option.
A foam box placed inside a larger tote: the plastic protects the foam from rain, sun and outside scratching while the foam insulates. The entrance is cut through both, aligned.
A checked wooden crate with insulation fitted outside and a waterproof wrap, so the cat touches wood inside rather than foam.
A box of checked old boards with EPS and a thin interior lining. Boards of unknown origin, with oil or old preservative treatment, are rejected.
Three checked pallets cut into a floor and walls, with EPS in the cavities, boards over the gaps and an interior lining. The pallet itself raises the floor off the ground.
A house of checked old boards with EPS and an interior lining the dog cannot chew, for a small dog. Measure the dog before building.
A house of checked old boards with EPS and an interior lining the dog cannot chew, for a medium dog. Measure the dog before building.
A house of checked old boards with EPS and an interior lining the dog cannot chew, for a large dog. Measure the dog before building.
Four checked pallets, boards over the gaps and a roof falling to the rear. Rain and wind cover without insulation; winter use needs an upgrade.
