Dog House Box


On site.

Lucky the dog, intended inhabitant.

Finished with Black Cherry stain on the plywood panels and a full quart of spar varnish all over.

Mounted on rails for easy movement
The roof is completed, made from six inch cedar fence pickets.The roof is underlayed by a piece of 3/8 panel and the roof seam is caulked and covered with a piece of metal tape.  The peak of the roof is a full length cedar picket split down the middle and custom cut angle to form a nice roof angle.  This dog roof is guarenteed not to leak.

Additional fence pickets were ripped into approximately one inch strips and used to cover the screw joints of the corners and sides.  These are glued and finish nailed into place.
The basic dog house box is complete. Finishing touches from this point include adding cedar trim and stain with varnish.
