I have read all of the bad reviews of the new Cuddebacks (wish I had before I bought it!) and how they tend to leak. I haven't had much evidence of that, but have noticed some moisture in it. I have been meaning to make a simple cover for it and finally did yesterday. I'm no craftsman or carpenter, but it only took me an hour or so and came out pretty good. The one issue I had, as I was puuting the rood on - how am I going to attachit to tree? (I was planning on putting a screw on the top board. I made do witha couple screw-in hooks and that woorkd pretty good. I think I will attach another board on the top or maybe even just an eyelet. Here are a couple pics.
