The lattice is a plastic “redwood lattice” and the gravel is ~6” thick 7-10mm “pea gravel”.

I used pvc panels to protect from the rain and collect the water, there’s a tarp on the north side to prevent driving rain, and a tarp under the stairs for a little more protection too.

Still need the creature comforts like a light, organize the shed, run the hoses again, etc, but pumped to have this milestone crossed off, since it was an absolutely unexpected side quest from what we wanted to get done this year, but that’s life.

That's such a cute idea! I wish my porch were high enough to do this. If it were my dog would be in there all day anyway - before we remedied the situation, she used to burrow under the shed everyday so she could lay in the cool dirt lol

Thanks! It’s only 5 foot tall in there, so before the previous old girl passed it was going to be a jungle gym for the kids, so gravel/something to fall on anyways, and would have just needed some ropes and hooks or something. I think this will get used much more anyways. The puppy already loves just chilling in it with me while I was working.

He’s a little too into everything, so hence the hurry/need to get it done fast now haha. I thought I would have a couple weeks with the adoption process.

Cleaning up the shit is gonna be such a pain though. Looks neat

I just use baggies, it’s like kittie litter, so if a have to shovel it, I’ll lose some and need to top up once in a while, not overly concerned.

The fence and deck railing, as well as a good portion of the house already is.

There’s a water ban, so can’t hose the house down, but I leaf blow and use a broom on the stuff they can’t keep to themselves up high.
