Gable-Roof Dog House Plans

These dog house plans are for a 3' wide by 3' long dog house. These instructions will give you an idea and take you through the steps on how to build a doghouse. Depending on the size of your dog, you will need to modify the size to accommodate your dogs needs.

The doghouse should not be to big for the dog. It should only be big enough for the dog to turn, stretch and lie down. Build it as small as possible, so that the dogs body heat can keep him warm in the winter.

The door should be 3 inches taller and wider measured from the shoulder.
