First of all cut pieces of wood according to the size to make out the frames needed for this bed. Remember the size should be accurate or otherwise you will have to face a lot of problem at the end. After you are ready with the pieces of woods, then take only a single piece of wood to cut holes in it. The holes should be made according to the diameter of the PVC pipe so that it fits easily into it. Three holes are enough for a bed. Now fit the pipe with joiners as shown in the image below.

Take a PC power supply or if you have an old one in your home you can also use it. Fix that power supply into the same piece of wood near the PVC pipe. Now one by one fit all the fans into the respective holes with screw preferably. Now the main thing is connecting all the fans from the power supply. You should be very careful in this case; actually the electrical joints should be carefully made as it can harm your dog as well as you anytime.

You should be careful that the fabric you are using for your dog is according to the size of the frame. If not, cut it according to the size. Now stick the fabric with fabric fasteners by stretching it nicely. You can also take help of someone so that the job becomes easy. The fabric generally stretches with time so it should be fastened in a well manner.
