This is a super beginner friendly DIY that can be made for pets of all sizes!

SUPPLIES 

• Wood (I used scrap wood cut to 11inx 20in but you could also use a 2inx12in board and cut it down to size)
• Hairpin legs (they come with screws but if your board is thin you will need to buy shorter screws)
• Stain – I used Valspar semi transparent stain and sealer tinted “rusticana” from Lowe’s – get it tinted at the paint counter or buy a pre-tinted outdoor stain of your choice. Outdoor stain is great for messy pups!
• Top coat – I used General Finishes Flat Top Coat (Optional with outdoor stain, required with regular stain)
• Foam brushes
• Sand paper

TOOLS

• Saw (or have it cut at the hardware store)
• Sander 
• Power drill

STEPS 

1. Measure your dog (I measured to about Cheddar’s armpits) and order hairpin legs
2. Buy supplies 
3. Sand
4. Stain/seal (I use this Valspar semi transparent stain and sealer all the time)
5. Apply a top coat (especially important if your stain isn’t also a sealer since dogs are sloppy drinkers!)
6. Drill “pilot holes” by picking a drill bit slightly smaller than your screw and drilling a hole. Put a piece of tape on the drill bet so you know when to stop and don’t go through to the other side!
7. Screw in the legs using the included screws, or shorter screws if the included screws are longer than your board is thick
8. Present it to your dog and give them a treat!
