We got a dog so I could build more things with the Lowrider.
Waiting for the next spell of warm weather to seal this in West System 207 and spar varnish…it won’t go in direct sunlight but I expect it to take a beating.
Plywood is marine fir which was brutal on the router. The redwood is from a dismantled NYC water tower, some lengths are kind of scrappy so the resin should hold it together and seal it nicely.
that looks awesome. we are in the middle of a backyard reno, and have been looking for shaded area for the dog. any chance you’d be willing to share the design? this looks perfect.
I used scrap redwood for the outer most shell that someone gave me…but you could probably use one sheet of thin marine ply.
I recommend using West System or other epoxy system to stand up to the elements. epifanes or something high end to prevent UV degradation on top of that. nothing from the local hardware store.
our dog loves it. it’s important that it is placed in an are where the dog gets a full view of the action.
