For sunny days and warmer Spring nights, windbreaker only. And for those frosty nights, an additional skirt and cover.

A cardboard roof is for illustration and would not hold up well. Corrugated plastic board or styro-foam would be better.

It will keep them from freezing and keep them warm and toasty on thos cold Colorado nights.
