Building A Dog House Today - Got Any Practical Tips or Building Plans For a Dog House?
I've always wanted to build one for him.
1. Make sure the dog house is big enough to accomodate your dog's size as he grows into an adult. A comfortable moving space is 1/3 his standing height: He should be able to look out the entrance both standing up and sitting down.
2. Raise the floor of the house a few inches above the ground to keep pests from entering easily. To prevent rain coming in, make the doorway end of the house (along with the roof) a little slanted.
3. Avoid painting the interior of the dog house. Instead, provide enough insulation and ventilation. It is best that the house entrance faces east.
use a piece of exterior paneling for the walls one 4x8 sheet should do the trick.
the also make a clear plastic doggie door for the winter.
put singles on the roof to keep it cooler in summer, and a flap of vinyl over the entry to keep it warmer in the winter
and then when you are finished, the mutt will want to sleep on top of the dog house!
