I have many 4x4s plus some longer pieces, but no saw to cut them. I want to build a simple shade structure for my small 20 lb. dog in a warm area.Anyone have any plans?

    so, buy a plain old hand saw. to to a thrift shop where they sell tools.

      I have a handsaw and a jigsaw, but neither would be very useful to cut 4x4s. Thank you for your answer.

    It depends how many 2x4's and other wood pieces you have that are the same or close to the same length. If they're all different lengths it will be a little more challenging. But if you have enough that are the same or close to in length you could make a teepee type shelter
