U need to airgap all the walls, roof, & floor. And make it where air will ciculate around the whole thing pumping warm air all around it. The extra room is neat to save energy to keep the doghouse warmer, os like the extra room at Aldi to keep the cold air out. Use 2 plastic things that seal themselfs back at the 2 dog doors or entrances to keep out cold air. It was strange that you had an airgap between the walls, why did u do that. Or did u inyentionally add the air gaps. What would be even warmer if the doghouse was designed like this using warmer brick.
@@myronhelton4441 If an intelligent man like yourself gets absolutely befuddled by a dog house build then how can we simple mortals comprehend your insightful comments.

What a fantastic design. If any snow gets in it will be kept out of the main sleeping area. Simple but one of those thoughts that I've never think of. Appreciate the video
I love the inspector😊 good cavities to spray foam insulation. A 100w incandesant bulb should be all thats needed for heat. I love this build, im gonna keep track of it thanks😊
Thank you, very well shown. The only things I would add, are the floor and roof insulation. The house would lose heat through the roof easily. The second insulation is a floor one, humidity would rise via the wood makes the floor damp.
Hi, Styrofoam (extruded polystyrene foam (XPS)) for the floor 5 cm thick or more, the roof 3 cm thick. It is light, easy to cut and very warm and does not absorb water. The only minus thing is, that a dog should not have access to it, so a thin layer of plywood 3mm, should separate a dog from it. It could be glued or screwed across to roof wood.
Pretty good work. Although I’d like to mention that the area that the dog will be laying in is small. Also, instead of predrilling holes you can measure from the outside where the stud will be and drill the plywood into it. Adds for the integrity of the build. However, love to see this build. Definitely gave me the idea that I should build my own!
This is absolutely brilliant but I need context that explains each step in detail. Do you have a list of what is needed and step by step instructions on how to put it together? 🤞 With 4 large dogs and 1 Ayam Cemani Rooster outside and 2 elderly parents inside, I could really use a little extra guidance. Merry Christmas, hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks!
@@platinumbullykennels2660 Since there doesn't seem to be a plan, I guess you would have to size it yourself. If you Google 'how to size doghouse' it gives tips on the measurements to use. You need your breed of dog's adult dimensions to work out how much space to give it, and then you proceed as he did in the video. It looks like he uses 2x1 planks and 1/2" plywood?
It looks like bitmumen type waterproof membrane. The membrane is to ensure once the dog house makes contact with the ground it will help stop damp moisture rising underneath and to extend the life of the house from further deterioration.
Think about all the reason an "outside dog" is an outside dog. He/she can't be an inside dog for whatever reason. These reasons don't change just because it's cold out. In the country this is a regular practice.
Several people have asked for specific dimensions/plans. Looks like we are not going to get an answer. Anyone else out the be so kind to share the above information?
The fact that the side panels are hollow means there is a naturally insulating layer of air there. The same effect works wonders with double-paned glass.
Well done this is a good idea should everyone follow, not looks good when you keep dog inside house. Hygiene is problem, smell not good, no problem to keep them outside.
The insulation is the cavity between the panels. Modern insulation may be better but just as a porch keeps cold air contained from reaching the main house a cavity wall is a low budget means of trapping and warming air to act as a buffer to keep the interior warm by reducing heat loss in a buffering partition. The floor is the same and the dogs own heat will be what heats the interior. Granted heating and insulation would be more efficient but not everyone has a budget to develop such houses.
That is NOT sufficient. First your domestic cats and dogs should be inside your home warm and safe and loved on Where is the insulation? This old school design is "better than nothing" but is like you wearing a coat outside and still able to be and get cold. This relies on the dog to use their own body heat to keep warm which diminishes in cold weather especially the colder or gets. This might let a dog "survive" but how would you like to live life just surviving? Let's all do more and take care of our furry friends like the family they are.

Can you make a list of dimensions?
What about dimensions
Can you list what was used type of wood

Do you think that just putting insulation in the roof and floor would be fine? Or would it be better to just put it in the walls?
What would you recommend to use for it?

I said "add" 🙂

You want to keep the sleeping area only slightly larger than the dog as it is the dog's body heat which heats that area.
Great job! Now that's love.
Great job! Very inspiring.
can you make a in depth video on this? tools required cut lenght etc...
Did you add that insulating foam or just left the walls like that?
I think he did . When he does the roof at the begining it's hollow and after that it's filled ... but it might be just wood ... 🤷♀️
He will be a warm cozy dog now or she. Lol
Is it not a bit small?
That’s great good job!
надо было во всю ширину вольера делать конуру.и собаке было бы
больше спальное место
What I want to know is where you got your caterpillar power tools and if they will compare or beat DeWalt which is very hard to do.
That is really nice but isnt it too small for that large dog?
You don't want to give "too much" space. The smaller the area the better their body can heat.
@@joelsallee2046it’s also not a big dog breed so his point is pointless
What's the dimensions of the dog house? I'm looking to do this too.

Let me know if you figure out! I’m trying to build one for my mastiff

perfect! 💖💖
Nice, but it would be more helpful if he gave the dimension of the house he built. Even if someone's dog is a different breed
seems like cubit meter
Just curious why paint the bottom?
Or are you coating it with something ?

how do i keep my dogs from biting holes in their houses?
Why not keep your dog inside when it's cold. Just wondering

are those 2x4s
Cold air still coming in
This is it
Avresti dovuto coibentarla sia sopra che sotto e in più dove sta la porta. Ciao
Dommage de ne pas avoir isolées les parois !!!
Cost?
I need to make something similar for my dog 🐶
why the dog sleeps in a fence... take it inside 😢
What bree of dog is that , and do they hunt ?
😂
Angus
Hi
What did you paint the bottom with?
What is that black paint?
bituminous mastic

00:54 Did'nt you forgot insulation?

@@jonniesRoof insulation would be smart.
Too small thats a hamster house
😂
Don’t want it to be big. Dogs body heat will warm up a small area.
Well done this is a good idea should everyone follow, not looks good when you keep dog inside house. Hygiene is problem, smell not good, no problem to keep them outside.
No fireplace?? 😢 Poor puppy will be cold!
No insulation? No heated floor? 😢 Poor puppy will be cold!
Shut up
Heated floor? Spoiled ass dog

😂😂😂
jesus christ 😐
Too small
No it's not. The smaller the better for dogs. It keeps the heat in. Larger space=less heat.
No gas furnace? Puppy will freeze!
Wish your pupper lived inside your house 🤨😡
I feel bad for the dog house so small and does not look convertible bad owner cheap broke guy😂😂

Are you an idiot? This is not a poodle, it's a yard dog.
Barely room to get in or turn around.
