We build a kennel for a dog from a wooden frame with our own hands

When you need a booth only for a warm period of the year, it's really designed yourself, because there will not have to use heaters or complex combinations of materials.

  1. After calculating the right size of the house for the pet, we collect the side part from the boards. We must carefully paint the boards and work out a special anti-rotting agent.
  2. Then we collect the two frontal details and form the skeleton. The photo shows that in addition we fasten the board to even the width between the side and front parts in the place of their connection. This will further strengthen the structure.
  3. Next you need to make your own hands the bottom of the kennel for the dog. We turn the structure upside down and pass through liquid nails along the entire perimeter. Fix all the clamps and let the nails dry completely.
  4. We are not in a hurry to turn the kennel frame for a dog, after all, we need to attach our legs with our own hands. Then the booth will not lie just on the ground. Here we need a standard fasteners in the form of self-tapping screws.
  5. This is how the design looks at the first stage of the assembly.

  8. We fix the rafters and form the roof.
  9. The booth is almost ready. It remains only to cover the roof and, if desired, sew one of the front parts. We showed only the basis of the design, you can always use the tile, make double walls and add a heater.

How to make a kennel for a dog with his own hands from an iron frame?

Sometimes after the dog grows up, he does not want to leave his small iron cage, and prefers to sleep in it. Excellent! This is a great alternative to a classic box.

Original booth-kennel for the dog own hands

For small breeds, we propose to build something more original, but at the same time quite functional.

  1. At present, furniture from simple raw materials like plywood or pallet has become quite popular. Why not make a coffee table in this style and inside to equip the place for the pet?
  2. Note that one wall is completely breathable due to round holes. And the upper part has a special design with grooves, which will not allow the table top to fit snugly to the body. Thus, our dog kennel, made with our own hands, will not be stuffy.
  3. In the side we make an entrance for the pet according to its size.
  4. And finally, we fix the table top. But for this we use not self-tapping screws, but such magnets. This is done for the safety of the animal.
