🖐 ABOUT US: As owners of The Ark Workshop, we’ve been designing and building wildlife housing & feeders for over 30 years. We've been fortunate to have had some of our products sold in popular retail chains in the United States. When creating housing & feeders, our primary focus is to create designs that will be used by the animals they're intended for. Much research and time goes into that. We've found that there are certain features a house & feeder needs to have for some wildlife to accept it, use it, and then return to it again! Through our personal experiences, thousands of customer correspondences, and years of research … we’ve discovered some valuable insights that have helped us create these wildlife-specific products. Whenever possible, we always try to include a picture of the product in use so that customers can take comfort and know that it has a proven track record. There are many shelters & feeders being offered on the market today. We feel it's great for customers to have options. We encourage you to check out the information on all our items both here and at our website www.arkworkshop.com.

💖💖 My wife and I (Jane & Mark) work together to make all our products. My background is in Veterinary Medicine & Animal Sciences & Woodworking. My wife studied Agricultural economics and grew up on a 12,000 acre farm. It is a successful operation that currently supports 4 families. She has a love for all animals with a particular affection for cats. Together, we combine our years of experience to create housing & feeders for all wildlife .... with a special focus on cats. Since pets, cats, and wildlife cannot tell us what they're needing in a house or feeder ..... nor can they tell us how those items are performing while they're using them ..... we need to be very serious and make sure we're offering items that are waterproof, warm, and safe for them to use. We also want to provide you with as much information as possible so that you can make an informed buying decision.

We chose the business name "The Ark Workshop" after Noah and The Ark. We operate our business with Christian principles and integrity. We appreciate you considering our items and for visiting our shop. We hope we can be of service to you today! Mark & Jane. 💖💖 👨👩

WE USE CEDAR ON ALL OUR WOODEN, OUTDOOR PRODUCTS. WHY?
We use CEDAR for all our outdoor wooden products. It is truly the best wood for outdoor items and, after 30 years of building outdoor products, we’ve tried all the woods available. Cedar is a popular species of wood that’s long been used within the construction industry. Due to the aromatic, beautiful, and strong features of the wood, it’s a natural choice when it comes to building homes and other structures that can last for generations. There are many reasons why we use cedar wood. Here are some cedar wood properties that illustrate the advantages of this versatile timber:
• Cedar is durable. Cedar thrives in damp climates, enabling it to withstand many conditions. Cedar doesn’t shrink, swell, warp, or decay even when there are severe changes in weather, which makes it such an ideal choice for exterior items
• Cedar is sound resistant. Cedar is a porous wood, which gives it the ability to absorb noise. This quality is one of the many reasons why it’s commonly used on the exterior and interior of homes and buildings.
• Cedar has natural insect-repellent properties. The oil in cedar wood can control pests like termites, ants, moths, mosquitoes, and cockroaches. Insects do not like the resin in cedar.
• Cedar is low maintenance. It does not require painting, staining, or sealant in order to be used outdoors. A cedar item is ready to use on day 1. Lesser quality woods usually require painting and upkeep in order to maintain their quality for extended periods. Not cedar. Cedar can be sealed to help it maintain its tan color but sealing & painting is not necessary to help with wood integrity …. it does that all on its own.
• Cedar is also a great insulator in itself. Because of the porous nature of cedar, it actually acts as insulation. The properties of cedar wood help keep adverse temperatures outside the cedar walls and work to keep inner temperatures constant inside cedar walls. All these things are why we choose cedar for our shelters.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Pets are a lot of fun and are like a member of the family. There's a lot of pride when you provide a special shelter for them. This FEEDING SHELTER is made entirely of cedar. Cedar is a great insulator. The house comes 99% assembled (see NOTE below) and is secured together with all 3 fasteners ..... NAILS, SCREWS, GLUE .... making it very DURABLE. The interior area is warm and the corners have been sealed to keep out drafts. The floor is elevated off the ground which will keep the occupants dry. The inside feeding area is a 15"long by 12"wide cavity which allows easy entrance and exit. 2--six-inch bowls can be placed side by side .... one for food and the other for water. The open air entrance is protected by roof overhang. Finally, we have added a FIBERGLASS SHINGLED ROOF for added protection. The roof is angled forward, allowing for water runoff. The entire roof pivots back, allowing for quick inspection and cleaning of the interior. This style can also be used as an open air house.

NOTE: For shipping-safety reasons, the 2 lag bolts that hold the roof on for pivoting are removed for shipping. Upon arrival, the customer will need to reinsert and tighten the bolts so that the pivot action will work. If a customer chooses not to use bolts, the roof will be a lift-off type. We ship roofs unattached to avoid potential shipping damage at that sensitive area.

OPTIONAL FEATURES: on our website at www.arkworkshop.com, we also offer options for this item such as ESCAPE DOORS, WINDOWS, POLY DOOR ENTRANCES, HEATING MATS, STRAW, and more. If you need a shelter with any of those options, go to www.arkworkshop.com and order there. Larger sizes are also available. Thanks.
