Simple dog house plans
There
are simple dog house plans available on several different web
sites. In fact, some of them can actually be downloaded,
printed out and used immediately.
But
before you order any plans, make sure you have done your home
work and know what to look for in simple dog house
plans.
For
example, There may be building codes in your that restrict what
you can and cannot build on your property. If there are
building codes in your area, be sure you understand them before
ordering any simple dog house plans.
Consider
your skills as a carpenter. If you are not an experienced
do-it-yourselfer, you might be better off either buying a dog
house kit or a complete dog house.
Measure
your dog’s height and length so you can build the the right
size. If you build
the house too small, your dog will be uncomfortable and may not
want to use it.
Build it too big, and your dog may not be able to stay warm
when the weather grows cold. Most of us like houses where
there is at least 2 feet of air up over our heads -- in order
to avoid feelings of claustrophobia. You should allow your dog the
same amount of airiness which means the ceiling or roof of the
dog house should be about 1/3 higher than the height of the
dog.
If you
live in an area that gets cold in the winter, look for a plan
that either includes a partial wall or is large enough that you
can add a partial wall. This is so that the dog can
escape the elements as necessary. That way, if the weather is
bad, the dog can choose to either sleep in the entry room or go
around the inner wall into its "inner sanctum" for more
warmth.
Even a
simple dog house plan should have a hinged roof. If not, ask
yourself how easy it would be to add hinges? This is important
because it makes for easy cleaning. Every time you clean your dog,
you should also clean its house and change its
beddng.

project look fairly simple. The instructions are easy to
