HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR FERALS--READ MY SOLUTION for no back exit
PERFECT SOLUTION WITH 2 EXITS: My small barnhome arrived just in time for cold-weather shelter for a wild cat I'm feeding. I did have concerns about no back exit and was about to cut one in. THEN I REALIZED THE PERFECT SOLUTION IS TO TURN THE TOP AROUND AND ATTACH THAT WAY! THE CLIPS STILL MATCH UP! NOW YOU HAVE 2 HALF-SIZE OPENINGS--still perfect cat size!! Each opening now is approx 6" x 6". Back one won't have an overhang, but I solved that by draping bubblewrap partly over the exit, by shutting the clips secures it.
I can see that the 4 clip joints could leak, and that also is easily solved with 4 pieces of duct tape.
As for the insulation factor: it is made of an extremely sturdy compound that seems like rubber with plastic--not sure. So it has some insulating properties. If we go into sub-zero weather I will cut some sheets of rigid polystyrene insulation and attach it inside to sides. bottom and top. Add a blanket and voila!
I am extremely happy with this solution for my sad feral cat. She has been satisfied living in a cardboard box covered with a 3 mil black garbage bag. Tonight she will be in nirvana!
