 Coolaroo Large Pet Bed - Green With Black Frame |
| Review Date: December 23, 2007 |
| Reviewer: GGecko, Desert Southwest |
| These are GREAT pet beds! - We have one for each of our two Labradors and they just love 'em! BTW, there IS a subtle trick to assembling them; i.e., you MUST keep ALL bolts loose right up to the final one that connects the second of the two spreader bars to the leg frames. When you're ready to insert the last bolt, situate the bed so that only three legs touch the floor and, then, LEFT THAT LAST LEG UP ABOUT SIX INCHES - JUST ENOUGH TO RELIEVE THE STRESS IN THE COOLAROO FABRIC!!! Then wiggle that LAST bolt through the leg frame into the crossbar and tighten it JUST enough to hold the entire assembly together. FINALLY, using a couple of phone books or someone's "spare foot", keep the corner diagonal to the one with the last bolt you just "wiggled" into place DOWN ON THE FLOOR and s.t.r.e.t.c.h. the cover taut by forcing the LAST LEG DOWN onto the floor and into proper alignment with the other three legs! ... NOW! - TIGHTEN ALL THE BOLTS! ... Simple, huh? |
Cool Idea

| We have two large pet beds for my 75 lb. dalmation and 120 lb. lab. My dogs love them! They stay fairly clean because the dirt/dust sifts right through the loose weave in the fabric which also allows the air to circulate and the dogs stay cooler. I keep them on my carport and when it rains and the water runs in on the concrete floor, the raised bed and dogs stay dry and comfortable. I have just adopted a new stray mother dog and plan to keep her and one of her pups. I ordered 2 additional Coolaroos for them today. A great product - wish I'd thought of it first! |
My 120 lb. lab loves this bed

| My 120 lb. lab has used this bed during his outside time every day for over two years. I am replacing it now because he has managed to wear a small hole into the center of the material. No bother, I am more than happy to spend another $25.00 for a replacement, I spend much more for his indoor beds that hardly last a year. No complaints about the structural sturdiness either, we haven't had any problems at all. He can lie comfortably, with a bit of room left over if he wants to really stretch out, although his feet tend to dangle over the sides a bit when he does. We live in a hot climate and my dog would rather lie on this bed than any other shady spot of the yard. One of my favorite things about this bed is that is cleans so easily, just hose it off and let dry. Every few weeks I go over it with a soft brush and some soap - cleans beautifully! |
A Trick To Assembling THIS Pet Bed ...

I've assembled three of these puppies (Pun Intended!) so far, and, right at the end of the job, there's a trick ya' gotta' do! ... FIRST! - verify that EACH and EVERY bolt is loose enough to warp the frame slightly; i.e., with a phone book or someone's foot (!) on ONE of the corners, lift UP the DIAGONALLY-OPPOSITE corner JUST enough to align the (final) bolt hole in the cross member with the (final) bolt hole in the support frame!!!
Then, just thread the LAST remaining bolt through and tighten it just a little! ... FINALLY, PUSH ALL four corners down onto the floor and into alignment - use MORE phone books or ONE of your remaining "free" arms! ... THEN finish tightening up ALL the bolts!
PLEASE NOTE THAT, when you align ALL four legs evenly on the floor, the fabric tightens up considerably! CONVERSELY, lifting ONE of the legs up allows the fabric to slacken just enough to line up that final bolt! Trying to assemble this thing with all four legs "in the same plane" of alignment down on the floor is an exercise in futility AND utter frustration!
BTDT! ... BEST Regards AND GOOD LUCK! |
Excellent product - both dogs love them.

| We bought two of these for our dogs and have had them outside for well over a year now. We live in Seattle, lots of rain, and they haven't mildewed a bit. One dog is 60 lbs, the other 30 lbs, and we bought two medium beds. The dogs love them, and once it's warm enough, they both lay on their beds side by side in the sun. We just bought some property, and we're going to buy two more. |
