Be aware that because these are small the slant on them is restricted and rain water pools on the top then slips through the sides of the wood. (see how the lip of wood sits proud). I bought one for £9.99 exactly the same (so shop around), filled in the bottom and cut a hole in the front and they are excellent value but not weather proof - the lid can flip up in the wind also exposing the inside so need to pin that down also and the whole thing as mentioned.

If you can go bigger then the wooden doubles (favourite ) or larger singles are brilliant and much more sturdy and durable. I put their actual house underneath and it allows a 'indoor' area also. I am a fan of the small pop up plastic cloche (which looks good value on the site you suggest) and they usually last a good couple of summers , plants/weeds grow under also, CB
