Building a DogHouse - NormalGuyDIY

One way to build a doghouse, with a little foyer and a front porch! Built primarily from scraps, using 2 treated 4x4's for the base. Rough dimensions for my 80 lb dog: main floor area = 4'x4', rear wall height = 22", front wall height = 30", front porch floor = 2'x4'

Trying to give back to YouTube, with whatever I can.

what's the width, hight & depth?

[normalguydiy]

@manchester2ibiza Of course, it will vary for a Schnauzer or a Mastiff, but rough dimensions for my 80 lb dog: main floor area = 4'x4', rear wall height = 22", front wall height = 30", front porch floor = 2'x4'. I've just added these dimensions as a note in the video since others have asked as well. Good Luck!

This should have been called "HOW TO SHOW OFF MY DOG HOUSE" becuz it doesnt teach you shit!!!

[normalguydiy]

@rockbutt123 Sorry, no detail, each doghouse measurement is going to depend on the size of your dog. It's more about the general idea of the doghouse shape. Let me know if you have any questions though.

Hey how much did it cost to build this??

[normalguydiy]

@Fbcfhffhu About $100. Most expensive parts are probably the choice of siding panels, the plywood/osb used for floor/roof, and the shingles. Watch for sales.

@boywithguitar He's a shelter rescue, so not quite sure. Definitely German Shepherd coloring, with the purple tongue of a Chow, and soft fluffy fur of a Keeshond. If you are thinking about getting a dog, please check out your local animal shelter, lots of loving dogs just looking for their forever home.
