JESSE'S DOGGY PORT

Saturday I built Jesse a "Doggy Port" for shade when he's out in the
yard this summer, this is the beginning framework .
POKE THE PICS. TO BIGGIE SIZE EM.
















I wrapped one end & the back with some nylon screen I had for additional shade, I can get more screen later for the other end.











Next I put white plastic Lattice all around it for shade & ventilation .













Then I painted the roof with white latex exterior paint to help resist heat absorption & build up inside.
I also lightly spray painted the black screen with white paint for the same reason.









Finally the finished "Doggy Port"
I will before it gets much hotter get more of the nylon screen to finish wrappin it.

Fortunately it will also serve as a place to set drinks "BEER" while pitchin Horseshoes....the tire your wonderin? I happen to know that it's in the unwritten Redneck code that all Redneck dog shelters must have a used tire on top of them.....
plus it serves as an anchor when the wind kicks up.
