Wolter for a dog: Build housing for pets with your own hands

As in any construction, we will need to initially prepare and collect all the data, which will determine the costs of financial and temporary. Drawing, general scheme (location on the site and so on), attack on materials and missing tools, general accounting costs.

There is nothing complicated in this process, it is necessary to choose a place to locate the design, its total size, production material and consumables. Further, according to these data, make up the estimates and purchase everything you need, prepare for work and start.

Foundation under the aviary

Install the foundation for such a design or not, your personal business, but since we build a big aviary, in the construction of concrete, metal, wood and even roofing, then we prefer to strengthen the carrying basis. It is necessary that the aviary himself does not stand on Earth and did not spoil from natural moisture, and also, not asked with seasonal fluctuations in the level of soil and groundwater.

So, the foundation for the construction we choose the simplest, of two concrete pillars laid parallel to each other, or a ribbon foundation, to fill that we learned already on many other country projects. Doing deep trenches, expensive false and dressing should not, you only need to pour the foundation on the pillow from gravel and raise it over the level of the ground by 10-15 cm. Also, it is desirable to make the simplest waterproofing so that the metal parts of the aviary can be corrosion, and wooden - rotting .

It is not worth spending a lot of strength and money on the foundation, the main thing is that he to withstand the weight of the structure.

Determination of production material

We have already told that we want to use in the construction of a street aviary for a dog concrete, metal and wood, and also, arrange a high-quality roof of the received dog house, but we also want to tell you what other options are possible:

  • from the tree is a simple option that will be very cheap, but it can be extremely unreliable if the dog loves to fool. Also, this aviary will not last a long time and by its decade with the integrity of its designs may begin problems;
  • Metal. A more reliable, but also a more expensive option, which, by the way, can be represented immediately in several kinds: collapsible and ready, so to speak, capital. The first can be transported from place to place, install in different places, fold for the winter and so on. The second is sold in a fully finished form, and they only need to be installed in the place selected in the country.

We choose the third, maybe a little complicated, but very reliable and accurately comfortable for pets combined aviary.

Installation of the base

We decided to make it massive and hard, so to speak, forever. To do this, we chose a chapeller, a board, false and fill with concrete, a coating on top of a tree. That is, the floor will be wooden, but with the capital concrete basis.

To do this, we install the ranger on the foundation, weld them around the perimeter to get a rectangular shape. On the lower shelf of the channel, we put the blackboard treated with an antiseptic, then cover it with its rubberoid and make the fake of gravel. After, it is possible to fill with cement mortar and alignment. While the solution begins to "take", it should be put on wooden bars for floor lags, approximately every 40-50 cm, across the design.

Walling

For the summer option and for calm dogs, the next design would have a metal frame and a grid, but since we try to make an aviary for large dogs, and it should be really reliable, then we will not use any grid, and we will take the materials more practical.

First of all, it is necessary to establish the main perimeter, which we will have from the profile pipe. It is installed at the corners of the future enclosure and is attached to the rancher, on welding or tight bolts, as you please. Now, between the angular carriers stretch the metal "skeleton" - an ordinary framework for construction. Here is required to use the level and plumb.

Do not forget that there should be a doors, a wide window and the open part of the design for the summer period in the aviary. Therefore, to think over the design and the entire frame is necessary so as not to lose in the future such necessary elements.

It is recommended to build a frame for a large dog enclosure as follows - throughout the perimeter, with a horizontal step 10 cm tensioned a metal rod, for example, reinforcement. It will strengthen the design, will allow you to shoot part of the trim for the summer and do not give a dog to get out of the aviary even if the interior decoration is spoiled.

As a result, you should get a high-quality design from a profile pipe with a frequent rod stripe, a doorway, opening for the window, a place for a removable design for the summer, as well as a reinforced perimeter from the profile pipe under the roof.

Construction construction

The construction of the construction outside can be the most diverse, ranging with wood and metal, and ending with modern weatherproof panels. But here inside we would recommend a tree - a classic material that retains warmth well as well, it will be pleasant for your pet with its ecology. In addition, many animals suffer from cold, for example, in the same rheumatism, and therefore the tree will become an excellent obstacle for the cold.

Initially, an external covering is performed, further, the insulation laying (foam or mineral wool), and only then the inner covering. All work can be laid in one or two days, if working with desire and excitement, namely, it is necessary to build housing for your four-legged friend.

During the trim, it is necessary to lay a box under the window and doors, as well as try to make one piece removable. It is easy to do it, it is only necessary to install the skin of the outside and inside the separate frame and not deaf fasteners, but for example, on bolts and nuts. As a result, you will have an excellent dog house, warm winter and well ventilated in the warm season.

After installing the trim, the last and simplest stage remains - installing the window and install doors with the lock. Here we will not go into details, since such installation is easy even for a beginner and can be made literally for an hour.

What other options are

Of course, the option proposed by us is not final, and you can always choose another, simpler and inexpensive or on the contrary, modern and fashionable, comfortable for the dog and even for her owner, who is only time to pay money and you can not waste time Hands.

Ready-made dogbies from combined materials;

  • Street structures made of simple materials - sheet iron and rod;
  • Wolter-awning - a definitely summer version, which is quite enough for the cottage;
  • Cell-aviary is a simple and inexpensive option, but not very practical and reliable;
