My dog makes a mess with her water bowl so I have been looking for something with a splash gaurd. After looking for a while I decided to build something like this:
Only different . I have my own style in mind but thats the only picture of one I could find.
I'm stuck on deciding what sort of wood to use. For the price those above sell for they should be made of teak, but they are just pine. I have been contemplating making it out of teak but I am not sure if its worth it. Basically this is to protect the walls and woodwork in my house, but I'd love for it to be water proof/resistent itself. Is teak about the only route or could I use a more common hardwood like oak or maple and just cover it in layers and layers of poly? Seems that it would eventually start to look bad.
Any suggestions?
