Actually my intention is not to put the dog houses in my garden under the hot sun. I want to put them on my covered car porch and patio area. The problem with these areas now is that although they provide shade and shelter from the sun and rain, they don't protect my dogs from wind which we have a lot of during this rainy reason. My boys get damp and cold and they huddle in the crappy houses i made. These houses are effective but honestly they are downright ugly! The tarp that covers them is bright blue and orange! Yikes!
