What would it take to build dog stairs?
I want to build a series of steps to my Maltese to use when getting on and off the bed. Recently We bought a bed too high, and fly out of it as super-dog ... But I worry that it will break a leg little of these days, so we want to build precast steps because they are terribly expensive. What kind of saw that I have to do the job? What materials should I use? Please give me your suggestions. Am very mechanical for a woman ... work on cars, fix things around the house, etc, but I've never built something from scratch.
My daughter built a set with wood. She used an X 4 s of the steps and plywood on the sides. However, it could use an X 4s on the sides as well. She used a circular saw in parts and a jig saw in others. Sand rough edges was easy and that screws everything together. He worked hard and was measured to exactly fit the bed you have. You can get nonskid treads if you want or use runner rugs can be purchased by the foot at Lowe's / Home Depot so that the edges are finished and the use a staple gun to secure.
