After sorting and organizing the misc wood pieces of wood I picked up at IKEA in their AS-IS section, I came up with a design incorporating bed slats, 2 table tops and some misc pieces to act as support pillars.
I wanted something that would give my dog a sense of coverage while still allowing her to see all around her while inside. Also, being in SoCal I wanted something that would be cool in the summer heat and breathe while also protecting her from the elements (off the ground / slanted roof) if the situation presents itself.
