Dog Kennel Plans - Build A Dog Kennel From Plan

By:


My wife and I recently adopted a five year old sheepdog from a local farmer who was retiring and going to live with his daughter in the city. I love sheepdogs, they are really clever and this one was no exception. It didn't take us long to realise that the dog just did not like being in the house for any length of time obviously preferring the yard.

A call to our old friend the farmer confirmed my suspicions; the dog had always slept outside in a part of a small outhouse.

I decide that the best solution would be a dog kennel and that I would build it myself. As I pride myself on my DIY this seemed like a good project to test my skills.

A search for dog kennel plans gave me lots of options, the first thing that struck me was the amount of different designs but in the end I settled for a set of very reasonably priced plans that included not only dog kennel plans but plans for garden furniture, sheds, garages etc.

Having decided on the size and design of the kennel I made a list of all the wood and fixings needed for the kennel from the plans and ordered them up from the local hardware store.

I was advised to use pressure treated wood for the main body of the kennel but for the doorway cedar, this would prevent any part that the dog might chew on from making him sick.

With my dog kennel plans I had the dog kennel built in one weekend and with the addition of an old blanket have a happy and contented dog.
