Sun shelter

Step one
Cut both ends of the four 720mm lengths of timber at 60 degrees (parallel cuts). Also cut off one end of the four 870mm lengths at 30 degrees.

Step two
Using two 720mm lengths and two 870mm lengths, assemble and screw together one end frame, as shown. Repeat to create a second frame.

Step three
Join the two frames together by attaching three 840mm lengths between them with screws.

Step four
Place the frame over the pallet and screw all four legs to the base.

Step five
Apply two coats of Resene Waterborne Woodsman penetrating oil stain to the frame, allowing each coat to dry.

Step six
Attach the Velcro strips to the four corners of the frame as shown. Pull the canvas tight over the frame to ensure a good fit when it sticks to the exposed adhesive backing of the Velcro strips.

Step seven
Lay a waterproof dog bed on the base and you have a shaded and comfy spot that is sure to get your dog’s tail wagging.
