Keep your pup cool this summer with a cooling bed. The family pet wants to be by your side as much as possible, especially when he notices how much time you and the family have been spending in the great outdoors. But Fido’s fur coat may be practically unbearable in the heat of the summer….

A backyard pool is a great way to enjoy fun in the sun, but it is also nice to have a shady spot to recline while watching the kids frolic in the water. Pool decking, usually made of concrete or stone, tends to create more heat in the pool area, and without proper shelter, the pool deck can become a pretty uncomfortable spot in the heat of the day. Shade is also a welcome addition if you want to use your pool area for entertaining or dining al fresco without a hot sun beating down on your guests. Consider these ideas for adding shade to your pool area with style.
