The best method to keep your dog safe from sunlight and rain is by building a good dog kennel roof shelter. The kennel is like a home to the dog and the roof of the kennel is essential because it can protect the dog from rain, snow and sunlight. The roof is available in various types like wood, tile or metal. Usually the dog kennels come in standard sizes ranging from 8-10 feet and if your dog kennel is of a different size, then you can adjust with the respective measurements. The first thing you need to do is to check the measurements of your kennel and then to purchase a metal sheet to prepare the roof. By default most of the kennels measure 8-10 ft and therefore you need to prepare a metal roof that is one inch larger on all sides when compared to your kennel.
