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

Check out how I created this simple DIY custom dog house for my Siberian Husky Ghost for under $100! He does not like the water, and I wanted a cool place for him to be able to get out of the sun while we are hanging out down by the pool.

I am not an expert woodworker by any means, but I am extremely satisfied with the way that this build came out. The only thing I have left to do is stain, or paint and seal it. I am not quite sure how I want to finish it yet. If you have any suggestions please leave them in the comment section.

Material List
Pressure treated 2x4's (Base only - nothing where the dog might chew on)
Regular 2x4's (the 4 posts)
Plywood (the floor and the roof)
Wooden Siding (the 4 sides of the house)
Scrap Poplar (to frame the windows/Doors)
Roof Shingles
Screws
Construction adhesive (for trim pieces and the shingles)

Thank you for your video. My husband needs to watch this. The price of doghouse in the store is way up there!

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!! ♥️🐶🐶♥️

I wish I had a dog to build one of these for. Hey, my neighbor has a dog and he does a ton of things for me. Wouldn;t it be cool to surprise him and set one of these in his driveway?

One the easiest builds I’ve seen. I like it. My only issue is it’s not tall enough. Huskies already have health issues I feel this would only add to it.

Excellent video. Clear as a bell. Next video please edit: we don't need to see every saw cut. I do appreciate your hard work. Thank you.

I'm only 5:05 mins into your video and I started cutting my boards. Half way done with the cutting now to watch the rest of your video.

Great Job!! I''ve been looking at videos to build a dog house for my dog. I think I will go with this one, it doesn't look too difficult! Thanks for the video!

I would’ve put some one by twos around the edges of the roof, cover up the siding.

It's a cool dog house for my 3 lb yorkie, but kind small for a husky!!

[uniqueresults]

Helluva job brotha!👍 Keep up the good work!

[ericgonzalez]

Looks good, maybe should have measured how tall ur dog was so u knew how tall to build the house, but it looks good.

[serphil]
