Abstract:

There is provided an insulation kit for a pet enclosure such as a doghouse. The insulation kit provides insulation to the doghouse to foster a comfortable and safe environment for dogs. The insulation kit is advantageously configured for easy transport and storage, and is a low cost alternative to current insulation kits on the market. The insulation kit includes a base panel that is positioned on the floor of the pet enclosure. In addition, the insulation kit includes a plurality of side panels that are positioned around the walls in the interior of the pet enclosure. Each side panel includes a plurality of connector members disposed about the outer periphery of the side panel for pivotally connecting onto the base panel to provide for a pivotal collapse of the side panel onto the base panel. The connector members further pivotally interconnect the side panel to adjacent side panels to provide for pivotal folding of the interconnected side panels. As a result, the interconnected side panels and base panel create a thermal shell that provides a layer of insulation to the interior of the pet enclosure. It is contemplated that the insulation kit is constructed of die cut foam panels that encourage a lightweight and low cost mass production.
