How to Build a Dog House
By Kent Pinkerton

 

 

This article explains How to Build a Dog House.

Nothing compares to the structure that we build out of determination, hard work, and love for our beloved pets. But not all of us have the skill and essential knowledge to build a dog house. The central question hence remains—how to build a dog house?

Perhaps the easiest way is by using dog house kits available in the market. These kits contain all the required things, from plywood panels to screws, and are said to be extremely easy to assemble using the instructions provided with the kit. Basic household tools are usually all that are required to successfully assemble and make the dog house.

Building a dog house from scratch can get tricky. Accurate measurements, cutting, and joining pieces have to be done with great precision. For almost any type of construction, no matter what the design, the basic tools and materials that will be required are plywood, boards, screws, insulation materials, safety glasses, gloves, drills, hammer, table saw, and measuring tape. Usually the aforementioned items are all that is required to build a common dog house.

Analysis of several plans show that the base of the dog house is built first. Preferably pressure-treated wood is used, but it can get dangerous for the dog if it chews it and hence, care is taken while choosing the base wood. The base is always raised from the ground to avoid contact with moisture or water and preserve heat.

The frames for supporting the ground boards, the side panels, and the width of the house are always measured accurately and fixed together by means of screws and nails.

The roof can either be a flat or A-shaped and is preferably screwed to the dog house frames, but in a way in which it can be removed for inside cleaning. Usually gaps are also left at the sides or bottom to enable proper ventilation too.

To finish it, dog houses are painted light colors to keep off the heat.

Instructions in building a dog house are provided by Woodzone, Lowe\'s, The Tidewater Kennel Club, Dunkel Kennels, Mike Strong, DIY, and Essortment for free. Other companies charge a feeComputer Technology Articles, but provide detailed guidelines in functional and beautifully designed dog houses.
