Booth with own hands

Drawings of the dog house

First of all, pay attention to the drawing of the dog booth. Thoroughly think through all the stages of the work ahead, then it will greatly simplify your work.

Moments to look out for:

• the height of the
• dog house, decide which roof will be the one-sided or two-slope
• , determine which side the dog's lizard will be located on.

Now more. The height of the kennel should be no less than the height of your dog, but it should not be too high, because in this case in the cold season there will be no heat in the booth. Add to the height of the dog about 10 cm, this will be enough. Also pay attention to the basic rule of proportions of the dog booth - the width and height can be the same, but the depth must necessarily be greater. Remember, the dog will toss and turn in his house, it should be comfortable.

The roof is better to make a saddle. First of all, this is a less labor-intensive process than the production of a gable roof. When building a dog booth, you will appreciate this fact. In addition, the sloping roof will not stay water in rainy weather. Be sure to make the roof rise - so it will be more convenient for you to clean inside.

Laz better to do with the long side of the booth and off-center. The dimensions of the climb are determined based on the height of the dog at the withers and the width of its chest. Add to both figures about 8 cm, this will be enough.

Now that you have all the dimensions, you can draw a drawing and calculate the number of materials needed to build a booth. When making the drawing, consider that the booth should not stand on the ground. The planned base must be insulated. The heater must be placed in the roof. Materials for insulation will suit a wide variety, for example foam.

The basic rules of the construction of the booth

The dog-house made by own hands should be comfortable and comfortable at any time of the year. For this:

1. Materials for construction can be very different, but the universal material is a tree, preferably coniferous.
2. Do not use boards impregnated from all sides, you can only process the walls of the kennel in ready-made form and only from the outside.
3. The roof can be made from any special materials. However, it is not recommended to use the proflist, as its sharp edge can injure the dog.
4. It is very important to choose the right place for the installation of the kennel - the dog should be well seen, otherwise it will be constantly nervous.

Make sure that your dog's new house is stable.
