Hello all!
Our outside dog kennels have very little shelter to keep off the elements. The tarps that were originally used pool water up top and eventually fray from all of the wind, which some dogs will try to ingest if we do not grab all of the bits. The sides of the shelter have a very heavy tarp kind of material that is used in roofing and holds up very well but has become an issue to hang. The rope gave away and the metal braiding tore the material.
We are going to replace the tarps but need a long term solution! Our shelter is rural and on a hill, so it gets windy. I was thinking corrugated steel sheets, propped at an angel so the water runs off. That depends on if we can get some donated. It would not work on the sides, we do not want to hot box our dogs.
If you can share a picture and description of what your shelter uses, that would be much appreciated!
