Instruction
1. Begin construction of the box, considering the size of adult German shepherd. The box from Teso of 2х2х1.5 in size will be suitable for dog of this breed. From this formula of 2 m – length, 1.5 – width, 2 – height.
2. Prepare dry sawn timber for construction. Better that it was with grooves. But anyway do walls double.
3. Build the box at once on that place where you are going to put dog. As the ready construction of such sizes will be very difficult to be transferred or moved on other place. Because the German shepherd is called to protect the territory, establish the box on such place where the dog will see all yard.
4. Drive columns, previously having isolated places of contact with the earth mastic or used oil. On columns beat cross-pieces and tes from the inside.
5. Make floor. Floor has to be at the level of 30 cm from the earth, otherwise it will become wet from abundant precipitation and melt waters. Further beat tes on ceiling and make warming of the box by means of heat-insulating materials. Fit them walls, ceiling from outer end and floor from the inside. On floor beat one more layer of Teso at once.
6. Upholster walls and ceiling with grooving yew, make racks for roof. Roof you can make one or twin, it depends on your desire. Sheathe all sides and top of roof yew and cover it with slate or iron as roofing material for construction of boxes is not used because any dog can crack it that will adversely affect her health. If you use for construction normal tes without grooves, then punch all slots rails, otherwise heater will get wet that it will lead to fast destruction of tree. Besides the box with slots will be less warm, and will blow it.
7. Make before the box flooring for feeding and rest of dog. Paint the box with oil paint or impregnate with drying oil to protect tree from destruction.
