Build a Dog House
You love your pup but dont love when he sheds? Build an outdoor house for your dog that will keep him dry and warm and your house fur-free. Follow the steps below to create a customized dog house that fits your familys personality .
Constructing the Base Consider what youll be using the base for.
Different dogs have different needs, but almost every dog will need the following: an insulated, dry space that he can call home whether its hot or cold. Pay attention to these factors when building a dog house: Think about insulation. Remember that the base builds the foundation for the whole house and creates a space of air between the ground and the floor that acts as insulation for the house. A house without a base is cooler during the cold months and warmer during the hot months.Consider the specific elements that might affect the base in your outdoor environment. If it rains often in your area, make sure to use a non-toxic, water-resistant material and build the base high enough off of the ground to prevent flooding.Use a framing square and a pencil to begin reproducing the diagram you created on the wood itself.
Cut 2x4 wood boards into four pieces, with two at 22-1/2" long and two at 23" long for a medium-sized dog. Place the 23” side pieces inside the 22-1/2” front and back pieces to create a rectangle with the 2" side resting on the ground.
Use a countersink drill bit to pre-drill pilot holes. Then attach the base pieces together using two 3” galvanized wood screws in each end. Transfer the floor plans by using a pencil and a framing square to a single sheet of 3/4" plywood.
The dimensions are 26" by 22-1/2" for the above sized frame. Using 1-1/4” galvanized wood screws, attach the floor panel to the base by drilling one screw into each corner of the of the base.
