I got a killer deal on this canopy from Lowes. In May, the price was $199 - too expensive so didn't buy it. In October, the yellow tag price was $128 but the clearance price was $32 - SOLD! That's our new patio we installed last winter.



The canopy provides just enough shade and Chris has it cinched down so tight, even the winds of Wednesday didn't budge it a bit.



All good Labrador's should have their own outside quarters. We had leftover plastic lattice from the decking project and put it to very good use. The dogs are most appreciative to their thoughtful parents! And when it gets cold, blankets can be put on the lattice to block out the wind. Dogs are people too!
