For now, all I have coming is a sun shade to discourage the eagles. I think a solid top might be too heavy for the kennel to support. Since I couldn't sleep I was checking out tops for kennel runs on BYC. Some people make a PVC hoop and tarp arrangement for the top. That looks like it might be doable. Buying a truss arrangement and cover like your would be another $200 per. Heavy snow load isn't common in Seattle, but it's not impossible. The other thing is whatever I do can't look too makeshift and ugly. Mr Hallerlake would have a problem with that. It's just as well to start thinking about it now. I'd rather throw time than money at the problem.
There's some nice replica Victorian cast iron pergola thingies kicking aound, but they're over $500 apiece for anything of a size that would work. I was thinking of Japanese stacked timber style (like a scaled down version of the trellises at the Arboretum gift shop). Does Botann still have timber bamboo? That takes a lot of lateral load, and is what the stacked timber construction was modeled on.
That's another possibility. I'm liking the half circle tunnel because of the height it would add to the set up. Too bad I didn't think of it sooner. I could have spent less and gotten the shorter kennel. The additional 3.5' from the tunnel would have made a 4' kennel tall enough to stand in. Live and learn.

Wow, that is a wild twist! So strange when any kind of funnel clouds show up here - they're such an anomaly.

It was weird cause I thought I was looking at Onalaska footage. Then I started recognizing houses. Surreal!

Only $20 for a small rabbit hutch in Bellevue. Would this work as an infirmary/isolation pen? I'm not driving that far, but only $20 for a temporary enclosure sounds pretty good to me.

Sounds perfect for that. One could keep it in the garage.

FYI Based on the location broody gave ( I have yet to find one) That tornado would have been about 1 1/2 - 2 miles NW from Spiffy's where I tend to meet people.
Haller about the kennel roof. I have a 6x12 kennel that I built a roof over. It is only a few 2x4's and tin then strapped on. this has withstood the 30" of snow we had here a couple of years ago and the wind so strong that it twisted the entire roof on the stables. It is very simple, easy, looks nice and will last long. For a small nominal fee I could take some pics for ya.
