How I made this doghouse for my husky for under $100!

Finallllllly a DIY dog house that doesn't require like a dozen tools. Thanks!

No lie. Just make it taller than he did. Poor dog as no room to stand.

This comment was 5 months ago how did it go

[@AVallesMunoz2010]

My big pup likes a ton of room. He loves having space. He’s a 100 lb German Shepherd and I’m going to measure his XXL crate and make his future home that size with your instructions. Thank you so much for posting this! I’ve looked all over the place online for a house big enough for him and everything is way overpriced and not wide or tall enough for him to walk into. After seeing him ignore his igloo shaped home, I’m now going to fly to Home Depot and finally make him a custom home! Our dogs deserve a safe and comfy home too!! ♥️🐶🐶♥️

[@thewoodworkinghusky3284]

Aww that's so great to hear! I looooove German Shepherds! I almost got one, but the second I saw Ghost, I knew he had to come home with me! Let me know how your build goes!!

Would you be able to tell me what measurements you used for the pieces? Thanks

[@alexisj.withers9283]

Hi there! Love this house! How did you determine the angles for the 4 vertical side pieces? You mentioned 2 were longer and 2 were shorter. I have a Ryobi Compound Saw as well and beveled my ends but now the roof placement doesn’t match the angles (if that makes sense). Any suggestions?

[@inspectrgajit]

Just cut all of the angles at the same time at 5 to 10 degrees, then you'll just have to play with the length of your short sides until the line up to the back slope. Use a 2x4 clamped between the front to back to find your proper height and angle of slope!

[@gustavomacall4949]

With the wood prices now the tile should be building a dog house under 300.00 dollars.

[@cynm3451]

Hey there great build! Id like to know what angle was used on the roof? And how much sorter the front legs were than the back? Thanks 🙏🏾

[@thewoodworkinghusky3284]

The angle was kind of arbitrary! When I was designing it, I just picked something that I thought looked nice. I believe the front legs were about 3" taller (don't quote me on that, I can't find the sketch I had for this), but what was important was the back was slightly taller than Ghost!

[@jubutki7083]

What are your door opening dimensions ?

Im planning on getting a rottweiler and im scared of him getting out is it possible that he can get out if I dont have a gate or something there

[@thewoodworkinghusky3284]

Aww there is a Rottweiler that lives down the road from me!! Yeah he could definitely get out. This wasn't created to hold him in while outside. I made this so he can go in and hangout with us in the summer - he's not the biggest fan of the heat. However, you could install a hinge with a gate and lock on the front so you could make this into a crate!

[@motorbrain6349]

@@thewoodworkinghusky3284 Thank you!

[@mark.brewster]

How were you able to figure out which angle to cut the wood that holds up the roof? Is there a calculation or did you eyeball it. Since the back legs are shorter than the front legs.

[@thewoodworkinghusky3284]

I created it in Sketchup first - What I did was measured the high part of the angle, and the low end of the angle, connected it with a straight line, and cut it with the circular saw. Rinse and Repeat for the other legs.

Winter is definitely here, and Ghost absolutely loves it. I'm sure it would be possible. What I would do to insulate it would be add the outside of the house like I did, add insulation on the inside, and another piece of plywood for the inside wall. I don't know if that would be the right way to do it, but that's what I would have done
