Dog house Plans

Dog houses are designed to protect the dog from rain, snow and wind. If temperatures are extremely cold or hot, be sure your dog has access to an area with moderate temperatures. A dog house will not give protection from extreme temperatures.

 

If you are building your own dog house, having dog house plans will make this project easier. Some things to consider before you build will be size, roof design, and type of material.

 

A dog house should not be to big. Build it big enough for the dog to turn, lie down, and stretch. If it is to big the dogs body heat will be lost when temperatures are cold.

 

The two most popular designs are the gable roof and the sloped roof. With a sloped roof the dog will be able to lay on top. If the dog uses the sloped roof to lie down, do not add shingles. Shingles tend to get to hot during the summer, plywood will be more appropriate.

 

When designing the dog house, make sure you will have access to clean the inside. If it is big you should have enough access, but if it small adding hinges to one of the sides will make cleaning easier.
