Thanks Woofie! We had to do that because we can get a lot of snow here, and it worked perfectly! We actually got the idea for the roof from our neighbor, who does this with her chicken coop in the winter. It's cement rebar, or something like that, and didn't cost much. The PVC pipe we held it up with was super cheap. I know that you can get "used" kennels fairly cheap, but we couldn't find one that we thought was big enough, so we bought it new. We got it at Home Depot, and it was much cheaper than others we saw that were about the same size. To keep the plastic on, we zip-tied 1 X 2 boards to the sides, and then stapled the plastic to the boards. Then we put dirt over the plastic all around the bottom to help keep it in place. When it got warmer in the spring, I moved the dirt, and rolled up the sides around the bottom, which gave it good ventilation. We got some really high winds last winter, and it actually held together! I was so happy about that!
