Building a Dog House in New Mexico
The Mexican tradition of building a dog house with an open roof, known as a casa or chupacabra, has been passed down from generation to generation. Historically, many of these roofs were constructed without mortar, or at least was tiled and then covered with straw or hay. While this method of roofing was certainly more cost effective than brick, it was not a practical choice for heat and light. Modern dog houses in Mexico are built with a lightweight aluminum or copper roof, along with durable polyethylene or PVC materials.
A home for your pet is the perfect way to bring you and your family closer together. In addition to providing a wonderful place to spend time outdoors, a dog house also provides a warm, safe haven for your pet. With the large variety of designs available today, there is one to fit your unique personality and style. One of the primary reasons that people choose a dog house, instead of a traditional home, is because they can add additional sleeping space for larger dogs, or rooms with multiple beds for small dogs. If you plan on building a dog house on your own, simply follow the building steps outlined by various dog house kits found online.
These kits contain all the materials and instructions required to build a dog house in under three hours. By choosing the right materials, using the appropriate instructions, and measuring your yard correctly, you can save yourself valuable time and effort building a dog house. Once you have your dog house completed, your pet will be able to enjoy his or her new home with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet can stay safe and secure.
