Building a dog house
You have a dog and it is essential that he has his own space. It is not very difficult to provide a shelter in the garden for him, here we tell you how to build a house for your dog.
It is important that the dog house is a spacious, insulated and dry place.
Insulation. It is very important to create an space of air between the ground and the floor that will acts as insulation for the house. A house without a base is cooler during the cold months and warmer during the hot months.Use water-resistant material and build the base high enough off of the ground to prevent flooding if you are living in a rainy area.
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.
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.
For the front wall of the house, make the opening for your dog as small as possible (although still comfortable) in order to allow the house to retain heat.
