How To Build A Dog House

Use recycled fence palings and roofing, plus inexpensive 42 x 19mm pine and plywood, to build a luxury dog house in a weekend. Source the secondhand materials from council cleanups or at the tip for a small fee.

Recycled palings will be weathered and slightly distorted, so measure and cut as you build to correct for the small variations in board size.

TIP We have included three cutting lists so you can scale the design to suit a small, medium or large dog.
