Is it better to have a plastic dog house or a wooden house

Indoor wooden houses are recommended, environmentally friendly and comfortable, and plastic dog houses can be considered outdoors, which are waterproof and cheap.

First, the use of materials:

cm wide planks, 5 m9 roots, 11 pieces. In the middle, because of the lack of materials, I went again the next day, wasting a lot of time.

2. 3 sticks of 4m. A thick wooden stick.

3. A number of small iron nails.

2. Tools: 1. A hacksaw.

2. A hammer.

Three, 1, the day before yesterday in the afternoon began to work, the first saw the board, the first time to do, no experience, the first three sides of the board sawed up, only to find out later, the back of the board should be sharp, used to build the roof, fortunately sawed down the board can be used for other purposes.

2. After the board is sawed, put a stick on the upper and lower horizontal sides of the board and nail it with nails to fix the whole plank.

3. Close the four panels, you can use tape to fix them temporarily, and see if the height of each piece is suitable after closing, and adjust the unsuitable saw. That's how I sawed back and forth several times. To sum up, the height of the left and right sides should not be higher than the lowest point of the front and rear panels (because it is a roof, it is coordinated).

4. After all the pieces are closed without any problems, nail the wooden planks at the bottom. Then put four thicker sticks in the corners of the inside of the wooden house and nail them.

5. Then add the roof on both sides and nail it up.

Choosing the right size kennel will ensure that your dog is comfortable. The most common method we use is to use the weight of the dog to determine the size of the house. But some dogs are only tall and large, so the height factor must also be considered.

If you live in a place where the winters are very cold, it's certainly not a good idea to choose a larger kennel. But if you live in a place where the winters are warm, a larger room is not a problem.

The height of the door of the dog house must not be lower than the height of the dog's shoulders 3 4, please refer to the A line segment in the figure; The size of the doorway should be such that the dog can lower its head just enough to enter the house.

The length and width of the kennel should be no more than 25% from the dog's nose to the waist, please refer to the B line. (Tail is not in consideration).

For example, if the dog's B-line segment is 24 feet (about 60 centimeters) long, the width and length of the kennel should be between 60 centimeters and 75 centimeters.

The height of the dog house should be 25%-50% greater than the height of the dog from head to toe, such as the C-line segment. This ensures that the dog does not lose excess calories during the cold years.

For example, if the height of the dog is 22 inches (about 55 cm), then the overall height of the kennel should be about 70-75 cm.
