HOW TO BUILD YOUR PET A HEATED DOGHOUSE

To construct the heated dogshouse plan start with the predetermined size of
the dogs house base and modify to suit all the following dog house panels.


The measurements you use to construct the plans dog house base will be guided by the width and height of your pet.
Your dog should be able to turn and stand inside the doghouse without brushing any panels. Measurements should
be kept to the smallest size for the pets movements inside the doghouse. This reduces the cost of warming a doghouse.

Base measurements of your heated doghouse

 The base of the doghouse is the first panel cut to size. Timber has a natural grain
running in one direction. If the surface of the dog house is having a varnish to feature the
wood grain, ensure panels for the dogshouse are cut with the grain in one direction. When matching grains
plywood wastage can be considerable when cutting panels to match wood grain.

Dogs home plan and heating

Patterns for the dog home plan can be cut out of card board and transferred onto the plywood panels if you are unsure of any measurements for the dogs home. If the doghouse with fitted heater is to have an exposed grain pattern, it may help in aligning all grain directions by marking arrows onto the panel patterns indicating direction of wood grain.

      B1/B5 .. B2/B6 .. B3/B8 .. B4/B7  Equal measurements.
These measurements are for the sides for the doghouse.

  Cut out the first side B1/B2/B3/B4 of the
dogs home and use this side as a template
to make the second side B5/B6/B7/B8. If
the surface of the plywood you are using
is different on either side make sure that
the template pattern is marked on the same
sides. This will ensure a uniform finish to the painted surfaces of the dog home when you construct the panels.

   heated pets home plan

doghouse and heating The materials that are used to construct the doghouse will be decided by the budget that is available to build the dogs home. Heavier plywood panels will increase the insulation properties of the dog house. This will reduce the heating cost of the pet heater fitted to the pets home.


blank spacer solar heating for pets Pet home and warming   Plywood panels selected for your dog house should not be an exterior plywood that has been treated with chemicals that are poisonous to pets. Select framing timber that is approx. one inch square ( 25 millimeters ) and suitable for the construction you intend to use. (ie screwed glued or nailed to prevent timbers from splitting) Timber will be required to line the inside of the base, sides and doghouse corners. Timber will also be used for guides to re position the roof and heater.  Solar pet heater 

BUILDING A DOGS HOUSE

    Galvanized nails and screws are items required for construction of the dogshouse and pets home. The doghouse will be exposed to the weather so all fixing screws and nails will need to be galvanized or zinc coated to prevent them from rusting. Construction grade glue is ideal for this form of building. Paint that contains lead or zinc should not be used for the small pets home. Painted surfaces release fumes so a curing period will be required after painting the new dog house

    Planning & building dogshouses

Building a dogshouse with metal fittings can be a hazard for your pet. If galvanized or zinc mesh wire is to be used as the front or on a window of the dogs house select mesh wiring that has been electroplated with a galvanized or zinc coating.  The majority of manufactured mesh wiring has been dipped in a galvanizing bath. Your pet may be poisoned if the wire mesh is chewed

DOG HOUSE HEATER

Heating a dogs home        The first part of the dog    house built is a doghouse base

   Line the interior borders of the dog house with the timber. Remove a section of timber  that is the same width as the door opening. The opening of the dog home can be to the center or side of the pets home. A dog house heater that is placed away from a fixed opening operates with more efficiency  & reduce bills

 Assemble the sides to the dogshouse base using galvanized nails/glue or screws.
Keep the plywood's side flush with the doghouse base. Position the upright corner pieces of the timber framing to the side edges.  < < 50% off   ENDING SOON
Fit the back of the dogs home. Plywood backs must sit flush to the outside of both plywood sides and flush to the base underside.

Fitting a dog house heater

 The dog house plans have framing timber in most cases fixed to kennel panels after the panels are fitted to the base. This construction method can be altered and the framing of the dogs home can be fixed to the panels before assembly. When joining the panels to the framing using screws and nails drill a pilot hole into the plywood and the dog house frame that is smaller than the screw or nail shaft. This produces a professional finish.

Drilling the frame and plywood prevents
the dog house frame from splitting

FIT THE FRONT EDGE FLUSH WITH THE SIDES OF THE DOG HOUSE AND BASE UNDER SIDE

Place the roof of the dogs home in a position that is suitable for the enclosure and then fit the roof guides to the underside

Timber left over from building can be used as frames beneath the floor of the dog house. When you are happy with the
structural strength of the doghouse sand back rough areas of the dogs home and paint. Don't forget to install our heater

Solar heated dog house built from a discarded satellite dish
If you have an obsolete satellite dish it can be easily converted into a warm and comfortable dog house.

The dog house plan for building your pets home requires basic tools and no special skills.

We start the dog house by converting the base ( satellite dish ) into a comfortable pets home.

Solar heating satellite Solar heating with a satellite dish blank spacer solar heating for pets

   Dog houses should always be raised from contact with the ground to stop damp and mildew entering your pets home. The dog house plan require a minimum of three rubber support posts that provides a stable platform and insulates base from damp. Wood runners can also be used for supports.

Solar heater for a dog house ( only use a dish that is your property*)
Discarded satellite dishes are often metallic and will readily transfer the cold into your pets home so several methods of insulation will be used in the construction of the dogs home. Most satellite dishes are powder coated to prevent corrosion. If your dish has good coatings then make every attempt to preserve the surface during the construction.
Solar heating for a dog house The feet or support legs of the dog house are rubber stoppers.
      These are available at most large do it yourself stores. blank spacer new

   Screws fixtures are often included with the door stopper.

    TO FIT THE DOG HOUSE SUPPORT LEGS  simply locate the center of the dish ( dog house base ) and use this position for spacing of the dog house base supports into equal quarter sections for stability.

Use a piece of string with some form of marking pen that is opposite in color to the dog house base (dish) tied to one end. Hold the opposite end of the string at the center position previously marked and draw a complete circle around the perimeter of the dog house base (dish) at a distance from the center that the feet will be located

Dog house base leg positions must provide a stable platform

Spacing between the legs can be accurately measured by using the same piece of string and marker.
Step out the spaces by adjusting the string length until equal spacing for the dog house supports is obtained.

Screws or fixtures used to hold the support legs to the dish must not have the sharp end exposed inside the dish.
Self tapping screws must be driven into the rubber legs with the screw head flush inside the dog house base surface.

Dome headed screws and nuts can be used as an alternative to self tapping screws.
The domes positioned on the inside must be set flush to the dog house surface.
This will prevent an uncomfortable bulge protruding where your pet rests.
please watch the video for more details  . . . . . .   A roof will be required to provide protection from the weather. If another dish is available this will make an excellent roof for the dog house. The dog house plan shows pictures and details of a dog house with satellite dish roof but alternatives are included

Dog house solar dog house solar Select a height for your dog house roof that provides sufficient space for your pet to enter into the dog house. Do not make the space large as this will create an environment that allows the body heat of your pet to escape in cold weather. Insulation built in the dog house and a removable dog house back will provide adequate ventilation and protect your pet from hot weather.

  The roof supports for the dog house must be constructed from material that provides adequate support for the dog house roofs weight and prevent movement in the wind. Ensure fixtures used to mount the roof supports onto the dog house base are flush.

Detachable dog house walls create a cool ventilated home in the hot weather.
Cleaning and maintenance of the dog house is also simplified.
   Preservative free plywood molded to a dog house base circumference will make an ideal dog house wall.
This will protect pets that have a tendency to chew objects. The string and marker attached can be used to determine the correct measurements for the dog house wall. Mark a spot on the dog house base where the wall commences. Hold one end of the string against this position and carefully lay out the remaining sting around the perimeter of the dish up to the point where you require the dog house wall to end. Transfer this length on to the dog house wall then mark the height of the wall that is suitable for your dog house design. Cut out the dog house wall to these measurements.

Shape the dog house wall to suit the circumference of the dish. This can be achieved by using a flexible plywood ( approximately three ply ) or molding a heavier plywood with the use of water and pressure. When the desired shape is obtained dress the entire dog house wall with a fine sand paper and select a suitable finish that complements your dog house appearance. ( No lead paints )

Position the finished wall to the inside of the dog house roof supports and fasten with counter sunk fittings to create a smooth and comfortable surface for your pet to rest against. Solar dog house heating details are available in the video.

To build and heat a dogs home and small pets enclosure the materials you use will be the deciding factor on the useful life of the dog house. The use of any material that has been coated or treated with any chemicals that may be toxic to your pet should be avoided.Pets cannot be constantly supervised and it is not unusual for them to chew on their enclosures and resting areas.

Pet heaters that are used to warm the dogs house and all other appliances that have an electrical supply to the pets home must have all electrical leads positioned in a safe and dry area. When constructing a heated doghouse plan, heated kennel, small pets enclosure or heated dogs home organize the positioning of the pets home and all electrical leads and connections before commencing construction the the heated dogshouse.

Any doghouse you build should not have the enclosures floor resting on the ground. Resting the dog house in direct contact with the ground can create mildew and make the dogshouse cold and damp. Rodent control will also be difficult. Face the opening away from any prevailing winds. When using tools be sure the proper safety equipment and safety procedures are used at all times.

Read and understand all instruction books that are supplied with any tools and always maintain a clean and safe working area. Never work around children or unrestrained pets or let them in the work area unsupervised.
