The house is necessary to all: there have a rest, sleep, restore forces, keep heat in the winter and protect freshness in midday July sun. In order that canine friends did not huddle under a porch or in a drovyanik, it is necessary to build for them the own dwelling. It is possible to get the ready doghouse in specialized shop, but to be engaged in arrangement of the box for a dog by all family much more pleasantly and more cheerfully.
Instruction
1. Calculate the box sizes suitable your dog. Plan a lodge so that the pet could come, lay down and be developed in it inside. Calculate the box length equal to distance from a nose to a tail, height and depth – equal to height of a dog. For a manhole consider width of a thorax and height in animal withers. It is possible to increase a few the sizes, especially, if the pet still grows, but do not do it for the winter doghouse as it is more difficult to heat bigger volume. In the presence of several inhabitants plan in the box of a partition. Draw the sketch or outline the plan of future construction, it considerably will facilitate further work.
2. From bars and a floorboard collect the lodge bottom. That a floor was warmer, and dog claws did not get stuck between boards, use an integral plate. Warm a bottom, having covered it outside with a roofing material layer. On the basis beat two long bars that between the earth and a floor there was a gap, and attach the second layer of boards. By means of the double bottom warmly will longer remain inside, and excess moisture will not get on a design.
3. On corners of the basis and in the middle of the parties establish eight support (bars) on height of future doghouse. Sheathe walls integral sheets of plywood or beat boards. Warm the doghouse by means of any suitable material, for example, of glass wool. Do not forget to add an additional insulation layer not to do to a dog harm.
4. Designing a roof, surely think over a possibility of its renting. It is necessary for targeting of purity in the box, cleaning of dirt and wool and also can be useful in a case of an animal. Make a roof of bars, laths, lining or of an integral piece of chipboard. Decorate voluntarily with a natural or false tile, lay slate.
5. Paint the doghouse. It is not recommended to paint boards inside. If you do a winter lodge, close a manhole by means of blinds from tarpaulin. To weight them, sew polyethylene bags of sand or stones on bottom edge of fabric. Decorate an entrance to the doghouse with a graceful small lamp, then the box of a canine friend will be not only is functional, but also will perfectly decorate an interior of your site!
