If you have a country house or cottage, thenfor sure with you together there will be the most faithful friend of man and his formidable guard - a dog. And this means that for the dog you need a warm, comfortable and beautiful home. The easiest way is to build a booth for the dog yourself.
First of all, you need to determine the sizethe dog house. It should not be too large, since then the dog will freeze in it in the cold. But too small a house will be extremely uncomfortable. Booth for a dog with their own hands must match a particular animal. Therefore, we make some measurements and calculations.
The width of the hole is easy to determine by measuring the widthyour pet's chest and increasing this size by 8 centimeters. The height of the manhole is calculated by subtracting 5 centimeters from the height of the animal at the withers. Now we will measure a four-legged friend, as they say, from the tip of the nose to the beginning of the tail - this will be the width of the dog's dwelling. The height of the dog corresponds to the height and depth of the kennel.
To booth for the dog with their own hands was convenientand warm, it is necessary to use a tree of coniferous species, lining and beams a hundred for one hundred, one hundred and fifty and forty for forty. Also useful is the grooved floor board, small moldings or fillet, in another - a narrow symmetrical plinth. And for beauty we need more decorative raki. Do not forget to prepare a plywood for the floor, roofing felt on the roof and a heater. For fastening, galvanized nails with a small bonnet are also useful. It's great if you have impregnation "senes" or "pinotex", which prevent the appearance of mold on the tree.
So how to make a dog booth for every dogwants a comfortable, then the roof needs to provide a removable. This is done so that you can clean the room and sanitize it, as well as in case of dog disease. In order not to injure a sick animal by pulling it out of a secluded place, where it usually hides, with a removable roof the veterinarian will be very comfortable to perform medical manipulations.
You should also take care of the boothfor a dog, made with own hands, had a warm floor. Therefore, it is best to do it double. In addition, you need to carefully sand it and take care that nowhere stuck out the point of the nails. And the hats, as mentioned above, should be small and not stick out from the floor and walls, so that the dog can not get hurt.
Log or climb into the kennel is best placedIn the middle of the wall, and on the side - so the dog is the easiest to hide from the wind. And it should be planned on the long side of the booth. Booth for the dog with his own hands should be at the highest place of the yard so that during the precipitation the water does not flow into the interior, but on the contrary, it goes down.
Start work on a dog house is bestFrom the floor, to which you will then need to attach the side racks. Then they will need to fill the boards, cooked for the walls. During operation, care must be taken to ensure that the beams from the timber are strictly vertical. Booth for the dog with their own hands will be stable and strong, if the master does not neglect the basic rules of building a dog house.
После того, как стены конуры возведены, неплохо take care of their warmth. Perfect for this function is suitable foam. Although you can use other heaters, which you have left from the insulation of your house. After that, you can take care of the exterior design of the house. Above the booth must be sewed with a lining.
Некоторые хозяева на лаз пришивают кусок мягкой rubber, for example, an old bath mat. Smart dogs quickly master the skills of using such a kind of door. But it is better to attach it later, when the animal gets used to its new home.
