Small shelter within run; material?

[Tracyree]

I’m making a shade shelter inside the run for the girls to go under when they need to feel safe or want some more shade. It will be short enough they will get on it and perch. Kind of like a dog house, but with open front and back. What can I make the roof out of that I can easily hose off every so often? Something that looks nice. I currently use a tent shade thing from Amazon that is covered with a tarp, which works but im wanting ti to look a little nicer

Corrugated polycarbonate roofing panels work well. I like the Suntuf brand - they are easy to install and really are "tuf!" But they don't have a solid color option if that's what you're looking for.

My younger ones do, but they don't look very comfortable up there with it being sloped.

corrugated metal

corrugated metal

Something to take into consideration with metal roofing is it has VERY sharp edges. The polycarbonate would be a bit safer in my opinion.
