They will hang out in the shade and hide from the wind and rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey provide much-needed shade during hot summer days so our animals can stay cool and comfortable. The sturdy construction also shields them from harsh winds and keeps them dry from the rain. It's adorable to see them huddled up together under there!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEase of Assembly:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetting up the shelters was surprisingly easy for me and my husband and I'd recommend two people to make assembly easier. The instructions could be a bit clearer, but it's very intuitive, and everything fits easily together as shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDurability:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm impressed by the durability of them. You can tell it's built to withstand the year-round outdoor weather and they've held up exceptionally well against strong winds, heavy rains, and snow. The robust design gives us confidence that they'll provide reliable protection for years to come, and they've been a worthwhile investment for backyard operation. Be sure to stake them down to the ground to avoid blowing around in storms. Highly recommend!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the biggest tip I'd share is to order all of them at once. Shipping for just a couple can be a bit much but our order of 5 worked out great.
