recycled dog house

here's a dog house I made entirely from recycled/found materials. Everything I used was free- wood, nails, primer, paint... In the pictures it has just been sealed with kilz, but it will eventually get painted green like my other doghouses. Just goes to show, you don't have to spend $50+ to build a dog house.

if that roof isnt slanted id be sure to put shingles on it. Looks good though good job.

 

it's 25" in the front and 22" in the back, so it's got a decent slant

 

It looks good bud !!!!! Good Work!!!

 

Well done...

I tell you what I wish I had some carpentry skill... I have NONE... wouldn't be a straight angle on that whole damn house if I had built it..lol

 

lmao same here,

 

damn thats nice

 

thanks for the kind words

i get recycled dog houses too found a perfectly good large igloo dog house on the side of the road tuesday trash day,but will post it on craigslist as i have enough and extras so will just sell it.one mans junk is another mans treasure.

 

hell yea.i work construction so ill grab stuff out of the trash piles.amazing what all they throw away.

 

yep, most of my materials came from construction/remodel dumpsters.

 

Not bad at all, only thing I see you might have to replace is the roof, looks kinda thin, the dog might chew on it, good job on using the found material.

 

Good stuff mate. You'd be amazed at what you can do with a pallet, some ply, a few screws and glue! Every doghouse I've made has been 90% recycled, and has done the job more than well.

 

if theres a fall in the roof of that box its to the fronth and not the back.

 

free is the best way to go

 

"if theres a fall in the roof of that box its to the fronth and not the back."
as I said, It's 25" in front and 22" in back. it looks fairly flat, but it's really just the camera angle- the roof has a nice slope to the back. if that's what you 're talking about...I'm not sure.

 

Yeah, it's only 1/2" ply on the roof, but my dogs are small and aren't too destructive, so I might get a couple years out of it. I've had dogs in the past that ate so much of their doghouse they sh*t sawdust!
