A dog house, or qartulad, provides warmth and protection for dogs that spend much of their time outdoors. They are particularly useful in cold weather when body heat is less effective for keeping a dog warm. The best dog houses are well built and sized to suit the size of the pet. They are also designed to withstand different climate conditions and rainfalls. They are often insulated with a layer of foam or insulation material. In addition, the doors and windows are insulated to prevent drafts.
To build a doghouse, first cut base parts to length from pressure-treated 2x4s. Then, butt the ends together and secure them with weather-resistant screws. Next, install a partition wall made from plywood angled to match the sides. The floor is then cut to size and secured to the bottom of the house.
The optimum dimensions for a doghouse are based on prevailing wind direction and sun orientation, which are critical to determine the best design and materials. In addition, a proper environmental analysis is important to ensure the shelter meets its intended use.
