Gary's Outdoor Cabana


When I spotted this canopy dog bed from Pottery Barn I thought it would be perfect for our dog Gary. The price tag on this one ($199.99) is WAY too much though.


So Tyler decided to make his very own version of the canopy with some pieces of wood we had hanging around our basement! Then we bought a cushion that matches the others we have for our patio set.



Gary loves his cabana! Thanks Tyler!


I'm going to buy some material and make the roll-up shades for the top and sides to make it more like the canopy from PB.







And I might paint it brown to match our patio set.









Here's how Tyler whipped up the cabana in a night.


He started with a pile of wood and made a base that would fit the size of the cushion. Then he made a platform and added four posts. And lastly, he added the slats for the roof. Viola!
