Build It Yourself Dog House Tips

by Moses Wright

The dog owner who wants to build a dog house may want to look for a build it yourself dog house kit. These dog house kits contain the components necessary to build your own dog house. If dog owners want to build customized dog houses, they can look for instructions or dog house plans on the Internet.

The finished dog house must fit the size of the dog. If the dog house is being built for a puppy, the dog house should be built for the expected size of the puppy once it is full grown unless the dog owner expects to make a larger dog house when appropriate.

The materials for the dog house should be weather resistant. Many people prefer cedar for constructing a dog house.

The first step of many build it yourself dog house plans involves the construction of four wood panels for the walls, one panel for the floor, and one panel for the roof. These panels may be insulated for the comfort of the dog.

When drawing the dimensions for the panels, the dog owner should remember that the back wall and front wall should match with the exception of the dog entrance being cut out of the front. The panels for the side walls should match.

For a flat roof, the top edge of the sides of the dog house needs to be slanted towards the rear of the dog house and the front wall needs to be taller than the rear wall. Flat roofs should be built on an incline to prevent water from pooling on the roof.

The front and rear walls in many dog house plans are more narrow than the side walls. This is not necessarily best since a narrow front wall may only have room for a centered dog house opening. The opening should be cut off center to help shield the dog from wind and rain.

The dog house needs to be elevated a couple inches from the ground. If the dog house is against the ground, the moisture from the ground may start to rot the dog house floor. Also, a raised dog house prevents rainwater from entering the dog house. - 20511
