BUILDER, HOUSEHOLDER
Doghouse. Tips for the home master Directory / Builder, home master A roof over your head is also needed for a four-legged friend who guards your house. This does not require special mansions, but the dog also needs shelter from the weather. And to build a kennel is available to any owner, and this does not require special skills, special tools or materials - just what is usually at hand is enough: boards, roofing material, nails, a hacksaw, a hammer. So let's get started! Kennel device Four walls, a floor and a gable roof - that's the whole arrangement of a dog's home. As you can see, it is simple, as is the process of its manufacture. Judge for yourself. Walls - shields knocked together from boards. For the side walls, the latter need to be cut to a length that would more or less correspond to the size of your four-legged friend when he is lying, and for the end walls - when he is curled up. The same applies to the height of the shield to be hammered together: it is desirable that it fits his height. But the hole ("entrance" to the kennel) can be half the height of the dog - it will still squeeze through, but there will be less chance of rain or snow getting inside the kennel. For the same purpose, it is better to make the dimensions of the roof shields with an overlap, so that they noticeably overlap the main part of the kennel along the perimeter. So, let's take a closer look at the main components of the kennel and their manufacture.
Walls It is better to start manufacturing by hammering together wall shields - then after assembling them it will be easier to adjust the dimensions of the roof and floor in place. Those who had to send parcels in plywood boxes in the past, of course, will remember the peculiarity of their device: the frame bars there had in some places some shift from the edges of the walls, which made it possible to conveniently dock them into a box. The same principle is observed here: the kennels are vertical at the sidewalls, the frame bars are nailed strictly along the edge, and at the back and front walls - with an indentation by the thickness of the sidewall bars, where they enter during assembly, which facilitates its implementation and provides additional rigidity to the resulting box. In the front shield, after hammering, a hole of the appropriate size is cut out, which is framed on the back side with additional bars (you can limit yourself to only vertical ones that are nailed to the sides of the hole). After the manufacture of all four shields, they are knocked together, forming the main part of the kennel in the form of a box open from above and below. Polik Now we need to close the box. From below, this will be done by a polyk, the shield of which is knocked together in such a size that the already assembled box covers from all four sides. And the bars of the floor below will play the role of a kind of legs, thanks to which it will not come into contact with the ground and will be isolated from its moisture: it will always be dry in the kennel. Roof The roof will save the kennel from precipitation, which is knocked together so that it is put on the kennel box like a hat, even without additional fastening. The trick is that in addition to two inclined shields - roof slopes - it will be necessary to knock down two more peculiar triangular brackets for them: they are attached to the slopes at the ends and provide their support and the necessary slope. The brackets consist of two boards fastened together at about 45°. At the back, this pair is connected by a horizontal board, which will just be the support of the roof when it is “put on” on the box of the kennel. After nailing the slopes and connecting them to the brackets, it remains to attach the ridge corner on top, which will close the gap at the junction of the slopes - and the kennel is ready. Finish The considered design is interesting in that it is practically collapsible. This is convenient for seasonal trips to the country, as well as, if necessary, to remove the kennel for storage for the winter. Of course, such a structure does not require any special finishing, but the minimum necessary is still worth doing. First of all, it would be necessary to protect the tree from external influences by treating with drying oil, painting with oil paints or a special protective liquid such as Pinotex. This is at the discretion of the owner. But what needs to be done is to cover the roof with something so that it does not leak in bad weather. There are also options here. If there is a sheet of tin of the required size, then you can upholster the slopes with it and paint it with oil paint. Roofing material is also suitable for this, roofing felt or, in extreme cases, unnecessary oilcloth, as well as a film that is used for greenhouses. It is only necessary for strength to fix them around the edges and in the middle with wooden slats. It seems that the four-legged friend will be satisfied with such a housewarming.
