Outdoor litter tray enclosure

Morning, finally getting round to having the garden car proofed. Would like to move the litter trays outside so need them to be covered from the weather. All the cat houses are quite small. My cat is on the larger size, and absolutely refuses to use a covered litter box. So I need quite a large wooden house that he can get into, tall enough so he doesn't feel trapped and easy for me to be able to take the tray out to clean. I feel like it's a holy grail!

I looked at hutches as they were taller, but they all seemed to be on 2 levels, so no good.

Has anyone got such an house /hutch? Or do I need to cobble one together, bearing in mind My DIY skills are nonexistent. Can I buy a rabbit hutch and just bash out the middle bits to make one large tall hutch?!

Thanks

    I have a large dog kennel outside from Amazon for when the cats want to snooze outside. Would fit a litter tray and more space left

    Put some bark down in the garden. Cats love that generally. Well ours certainly did and weren't too fussed about the weather. Then again the stupider of the twins used to sleep in the middle of the lawn when it was raining. Her brighter sister would just dart through the cat flap, go to where the bark was under a large fuchsia bush, do her business and rush back in. And the fuchsia thrived on the fertiliser.
