Dog Kennel Plans

Dog kennel Plans

My wife was pretty upset with me when I brought home an old stray dog that not only smelled bad but appeared to have no idea he was not supposed to use the house as his own personal bathroom.

She made it clear that if I wanted to keep the poor mutt it woulld have to live outside, so the first thing I did was get online to find some Dog Kennel Plans

I was stunned to find so many options to choose from, the one I finally picked had a dog run. The important thing to remember is that it's comfortable for your dog and built from materials that can withstand harsh weather. This could be a pressure treated wood but be careful the chemicals used could be bad for your dog, especially if he's a chewer.

The frame and other portions of the Doghouse can be built with pressure treated wood but you may want to either use a composite building material or a type of wood like cedar that will hold up to the elements and is not prone to rotting.

When you choose the plans for your dog kennel make sure they will allow your dog to enjoy the sun but also be able to get out of it as well and that it has a lot of cross ventilation. You will want to provide a sheltered area that you can line with straw or an old blanket.

Make sure the kennel is big enough if your dog will be penned up for long periods, not only will your pet get bored and pick up bad habits, it is unhealthy for him/her as well.
