Medium Adirondack Dog Bed

These Adirondack Dog Beds are handcrafted from Northern White Cedar and are shipped in its natural color of pale tan or light gold. Over time, the color will change evenly to a silvery gray, but this can be delayed by using water based or oil stains on the furniture. The fresh cedar odor is a mild insect repellent so these products are resistant to insect damage and decay. Our Northern Cedar, grown in the Northeastern United States, is natural and untreated. Only the most carefully select cedar trees are used. Cedar is the best choice for all kinds of furniture as it absorbs and loses moisture slowly, which minimizes the dry cracking, splintering and swelling which is more commonly found in oak and pine. The US Forest Products Laboratory highest rating for decay and disease resistance has been awarded to cedar.

This Wood Pet Bed is unique in that it is made with small diameter cedar logs. Since whole logs are used, all logs will have cracks or checks. This is natural due to the phenomenon that is part of the drying process of logs. When these logs are dried, the wood shrinks in length and width and creates tension in the wood. This tension develops due to shrinkage causing the log to split to relieve the tension and these lenthwise cracks are knows as checks. The check is never very deep so the structural integrity of the log is only slightly compromised. Therefore, checks are natural and are found in all cedar log furniture - creating much of its character.

Each medium cedar dog bed measures 25 inches wide by 41 inches in length by 8 inches in height and weight approximately 34 pounds. They are shipped in one box fully assembled. You can order this bed with a blue, green or eggshell mattress or without a mattress. Treat your dog to one of these luxury wood beds!
