Dog houses

They are pretty much the same design as the others. the main changes are a tilted to the roof and hinges so the stays up very easily. I also round the doors and did some minor changes inside, not sure if you will be able to spot them or not. Any other ideas for upgrades are appreciated

 

Look's damn good...may be some felt and shingel's to protect the roof from rain snow heat.

 

looks good

 

damn that looks top notch dream. i go with piano hinges when i build single sheet houses, what kind of hinges did you use for that?

 

just regular strap hinges naus
i have been thinkin about what i want to do for the roof but havent come up with a definate idea yet. hoping to get some good ideas from others tho

 

how big of a dog fits comfortable in a single sheet house?

 

Looks really good

those are the ones i build and run the hinge on the back. should hold a bulldog comfortably. mostly depends on your opening size.

 

Take those plans and make the back and front the sides and the sides the front and back with tshe door to one side and adjust measurements and you will have alot nicer dog houses. I can show some pictures of mine and the hold bulldogs and coonhounds of different sizes fine.

 

idk if im picuring what ur sayin right but if i am wouldnt that defeat the purpose of makin 2 room? the wind would go straight to the back right?

 

AND HES A CARPENTER TOO!!!! Fine work bro!! I remember back in the day when "kurupt was building those and other doggers just thought he was spoiling his hounds!! He even had a few with windows in them! Man we had some good times back then! But anyway Keep up the good work! I'll let You know as soon as I get Jack's levels checked what our vet says!

 

good work< they turned out real nice. Dont forget to put a flang so the wood doesnt get chopped up from the chain

 

Not talking about the two room plans. I'm talking about the one sheet plywood plans. The way they are built from the plans posted all the wind goes to the back but if turned like I said resembles the two room houses and helps block wind.

 

yeah keep me posted and send me some updated pics of them pups! i havent seen them since the day they were born

 

please post your pics thanx

 

wow nice looking dog house

 

great job

maybe isolation material between the gaps and some anti bite strips?

I used pretty much the same plans but modified them to suit me. lol My son had a litter of pups that needed to go out and it isnt finished yet. I still need to caulk and seal it, wrap it in aluminum coil stock, (cause I dont like to paint every few years) make a roof cap out of 26 gauge galanized sheet metal and put aluminum anlgle on the doorway and any place they might chew on. I used foam insulation board in the walls and on the roof section were they sleep. Winter hasnt been that bad. A couple of nights in the single digits and they seemed warm and cozy with plenty of straw. I'll load some pics..........
