The main reason to construct this very fascinating and creative space for dogs is to give them a place for them to cool under while their owners are in the yard. Dogs should be allowed to frolic in the yard and rest while seeing their lovely owner working on specialized plants and herbs growing. Dogs tend to be treated very much like royalty from extra treats to sleeping in the bed with the owners because it’s big, comfy, and there are others they can cuddle with.

The veranda is a special designated place for dogs to lie when around the yard during a hot summer’s day. Note, it is not intended for dogs to sleep under every day; it isn’t that comfortable.

Materials and Tools needed for project:

2×6 inch ACQ pressure treated lumber

1 inch PT CDX plywood half sheet

2 lbs 3 inch deck screws

2 lbs 2 inch deck screws

Pocket hole jig (optional)

There are a lot of instructions and plenty of things to have to build this specialized shelter for a dog. The main piece is multiple 2×6 pieces, which are cut down to 2×3 pieces, and then cut down to more pieces than that. The pieces will be cut down to 2 2-foot pieces, and 2-foot, 8-inch pieces.
