| Doggie Stairs Hi everyone! I thought you would like to see the stairs my husband made for Max. I bought some doggie material at Wal-Mart and some padding and my dh made the stairs out of some old lumber in the garage. We had to do some coaxing to get Max to go up and down them - he was not too sure about it! Jackie |

| Wow! Those look really great. I love that material. Those are so much cuter than the ones you can buy.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | No kidding, you could sell that! Great job, and probably only cost you a fraction of the $39 I paid online! I remember having to coax my boys, too, but treats work wonders! Now, they love it.

| They look great! I love the material you used to cover them. I never would have thought to use material and padding. My dad built stairs for Max when I first got him. He covered them with left-over carpeting that he had but when Abbie came into the picture she started chewing off the carpeting on the corner of the bottom step They both love the stairs and use them to get on and off the bed

Donating YT 30K Club Member | He will love them! When we brought Cali home we bought these expensive stairs on line and theywere way to steep and shallow for her. THEN after spending a lot on these my husband remembers he kept the stairs he made for my last Yorkie and finds them in the basement. They have worked out great and Cali uses them to lay on. He used carpeting on them as well but now I want him to make some like yours with material those look great!
