As Francis Eggelton\u2019s three English Bulldogs got older, he noticed they were having trouble jumping up from the floor to his bed. He enlisted the help of his stepson, Colin Scott, owner of Denver-based Custom Creation Woodcraft and a dog lover himself, to help him create a colorful, two-tiered, portable step that he could place alongside his bed or couch to give his pups a lift.<\/p>\n

Even better: Colin and Francis completed the project in one hour for less than $70, with enough extra material to make two more sets of stairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to make it easily customizable and buildable with or without power tools,\u201d Colin says.<\/p>\n

Colin\u2019s project fits a standard sized bed, which is about 30 inches high, but based on the size of your dog or bed, you can adjust the height of the steps.<\/p>\n

Since adding the stairs, the English Bulldogs have been independent and happy. \u201cIt\u2019s a huge hit,\u201d Francis says.<\/p>\n
