Another positive is the fact they are incredibly insulating compared to other materials used for flat boards, UPVC soffit boards are the best at keeping the heat in and the breeze out. If you think your house could suffer from changing weather and temperatures, using UPVC flat boards is the smartest option.

This is the best solution I could find to hold the two folding flaps in place when fully assembled, but if you have a better idea, I’d be interested in hearing it. Eating from a bowl can be awkward and uncomfortable, especially for small dogs, senior pets and flat-nosed/brachycephalic dogs and cats, due to the eating action required to reach food.Remember, every aspect of any mealtime, including the things we say, the emotions that are present while eating and the surface your pet is fed from, has a significant impact on their mental health and wellbeing. The eaves beam cleverly double’s as an integral box gutter utilising the support posts as down pipes with the rain water exiting through the variable height post feet. One thing to keep in mind is to keep the two flaps even. By that I mean, if you wanted to take 20cm off of the top of your V-Flat, take 10cm off of the top and 10cm off of the bottom. This makes sure that when the V-Flat is folded down, it’s also smaller and takes up less room. Plus it’s just neater. Mealtimes should be an enjoyable experience for our pets. While humans have started paying more attention to what they feed pets, exploring the best food for cats, the best food for dogs, and the importance of a species-specific, raw dog food, little consideration has been put into how pets are fed. Remember: This is the total cost of making 2 full-size double-sided V-flats. You would obviously reduce the cost a lot if you only need to make 1. Making Your V-Flat

Please note : The 1.6m relates to the length of the slope, therefore the horizontal projection will vary dependant on the selected roof pitch. This weave-fold not only gives the hinge great strength, but it allows you to fold the boards in both directions! For me, this was a no-brainer. Yes, the technique I used to add hinges to mine is a little extra work, but when not being used, they can easily be slid behind a door. Again, if you’re planning on leaving your V-Flats pretty much in situ at the studio, you could likely skip this portion of the technique. What You Will NeedIt’s also important to consider hygiene and sustainability when thinking about what your pet eats from. Different surfaces can be more more hygienic than others, for example our chomping boards are very hygienic and eco friendly because the fibers within have a substance called “bamboo kun” that make them naturally anti- bacterial. This prevents bacteria and microbes growing on the surfaces, making it not only hygienic but also odour resistant. There are many options available for you to feed your pet from instead of a bowl, such as boards, bringing unique benefits to help create a positive mealtime experience. Here are three reasons that you might stop feeding your dog from a bowl. The only other point worth mentioning here above the tape is the fact that I bought FIFTY METER rolls of the stuff! That may seem like overkill, but the regular roll length was too small for what I wanted and this far larger roll was simply more cost-effective than purchasing multiple smaller ones. Spray Adhesive

If you have the time and space, plus you don’t mind investing a few quid, I highly recommend you make at least one of these DIY foldable V-Flats as yet again, this is another one of those tools you’ll use far more than you think you would. Dogs have naturally evolved to eat from a flat surface, unless they have a medical reason for eating differently. There are many benefits of using a flat board for feeding pets, including:
