Free Dog House Plans?
I recently had a look online for free dog house plans and what I found was not very encouraging. I came to the conclusion that this might be one of those instances where the quality of the product offered matched the amount paid.
I got nothin’ for nothin’
Actually what I got was a very generic “dog box” that would do little more than offer the most rudimentary shelter.
So rather than spend time telling you how bad these free dog house plans are and what is missing I thought it would be more constructive to list a few design and construction considerations that may be important for your pooch’s health and well being.
I have done that at my other site, woodendogkennel.com

Neato, huh, I didn’t realize there was so much to think about and consider but all this advice is very helpful! I am gonna be builing a home for my pup soon, so this was a great article to start the process. Thanks a bunch.
Glad to see you are advising people to build the dog house up off the ground. Not only will it keep the floor dry but if put a little insulation below the flooring the dogs will be much warmer and not have the cold of the soil traveling up in to the dog house. To keep the insulation in place you can simply staple some plastic over the bottom of the shed.
I am buying kennels in the UK. We have a few problems as the kennels that are currently there are terrible god knows how any one left there dogs there, I am going to be in the process of ripping them down to put up nice new kennels I was searching the internet for advice as me and my wife will be doing it ourselves and have found this site to be very useful it gives a precise insight into what needs to be done. Good work guys !
Great post. I particularly agree with your point about considering the size of the dog house in relation to how the dogs behave as it can easily be something not thought about or taken lightly.
I like your comment about raising the doghouse up on posts as that is what I’ve done. It’s 105 degrees here right now. My pups sleep below the house in the shade in the day then go into the house at night.
Love the dog house plans, I haven’t considered so many different options. Of course the one with raised floor is perfect, this helps cool the dog’s shelter a bit and keeps little critters out too! Thanks for the links, great stuff
I think my dad can make the dog house for Baku (our Siberian Husky). The plan seems very detailed and easy to understand. I agree the having a raised floor is necessary especially for huskies.
Thanks!
