Outdoor Doggie Commode

We've trained our dog to go potty on a piece of fake grass. It was on the side of my patio area and didn't look too great. Our new doggie commode turned out really cute and looks more like a play area than a potty pad. And it is no longer an eyesore for our patio view!

Outdoor Doggie Commode - new area We've trained our dog to go potty on a piece of fake grass. It was on the side of my patio area and didn't look too great. Our new doggie commode turned out really cute and looks more like a play area than a potty pad. And it is no longer an eyesore for our patio view!

Total Time: 1 1/2 hours

Yield: 1

Supplies:

border edging
2 by 3 boards
fake grass
drill and drill bits
staples and staple gun
nails and hammer
screws and screwdriver

Steps:

Cut 2 by 3s the size of the desired potty pad area. Drill two holes into the ends of the corners of each 2 by 3. Screw sides together to make a frame. We chose to do a rectangular shape.

Cut the fake grass a little larger than the frame and staple in place with a staple gun.

Mark where to drill holes for the border so that the ends of the border will fit into the holes. Drill through fake grass and into wood. Insert border pieces into the holes.

Add a cute little decor if desired. We have a metal dog face and our dog's name "Joy" screwed onto a piece of plastic molding. You could call this "Comm-Ode to Joy"!
