A True Doomsday Prepper
Really, it's only for an emergency downpour anyhow, so if he hardly ever uses it, it'll be fine.
The main "house" part, is a plastic playhouse I got for $10 at a yard sale.
I'll use a pallet as the base, with a flat chipboard piece on top of it for the floor. (I have a lot of spare material of this)
Then, chipboard roof (overhanging the house part), but covered with actual roofing paper and shingles (I have spare of this).
Not perfect, but cheap and functional (and has a good place for his water bowl). Nothing really to even buy here for me. Just the work of cutting the wood and putting it all together. (and eventually painting it all).
(not sure of the "technical" name for the chipboard. It isn't particle board (that would never survive here in FL), it's like plywood, but made up of wood chips instead, it looks like). It's pretty sturdy though, and I've used it before with no issue. (heavy too, it's nearly an inch thick).
