Options available for your Custom Indoor Dog House or Unique Crate Cover
You have many choices to customize your castle including the paint colors, interior flooring, exterior tiles, the roof's finish and roof color, motion activated lights and whether to use your castle as a Den or as a Crate. You can choose one of our castle designs or if you want a castle to resemble your home or any other structure just let us know and we will gladly design and produce it for you. Below are additional details for each of the options available for your castle.
Your Castle's Colors
| We use Glidden® paint for our indoor dog houses and crate covers so we can get the exact colors you want. You will need to choose three colors for your castle; one color for the exterior walls, one color for the interior walls and one color for the trim and accents. If you are choosing a painted roof you must also choose a color for the painted roof. | ![]() |
Your Castle's Interior Floor
| For the interior floor we use high grade vinyl flooring. The vinyl floor is lightweight, extremely durable and easy to clean. You can choose one of the designs pictured here for the interior flooring of your castle. We can also use any other flooring your desire | ![]() |

Your Castle's Roof Finish
We give you the option of having your roof finished with the miniature shingles or to have the roof finished with a special paint that resembles a shingled roof. The miniature shingles exhibit an amazing and realistic look and are a great addition for your castle. They are also available in a wide range of colors shown below. The painted roof is more economical and also displays a realistic shingled roof for your castle. A painted roof can be produced in any Glidden® paint color you choose.

Motion Activated Lighting
Even though Simba’s Castles are built for our pets they still have to be fun and pleasing to the pet owner so you have the option of adding motion activated lighting to your castle. The lights used are low voltage and the miniature light bulbs are triggered by a motion detector so when your pet enters or leaves his castle the tiny lights automatically kick on for a short duration. All the light bulbs are provided and we even give you two replacement bulbs. Simply plug in the provided AC/DC adapter and you are ready to go.

Castle as a Den
If you do not crate your pet but simply wish to provide your pet with a space of their own you have the option of having the “castle” built slightly smaller than the “Castle for a Crate” style” and just the perfect size to serve as your pet’s den. This is the best indoor dog house available at such a low price. |

Castle as a Crate
If you crate your pets while you are away from the home you have the option of building the “castle” so that a crate will fit conveniently inside. This not only protects the inside of the castle from the pet’s chewing or scratching but also helps preserve the beauty of your home by displaying your castle instead of a tacky crate. The crate door can be accessed via a side door on the castle or you may omit the door and simply have an opening for even easier crate access. |
