If you are looking to build a dog house under your deck, then you should follow these easy steps. First, you need to cut 2×4 lumber into the correct sizes and angles. Once you have the right measurements, you can cut and align 1×2 lumber for the rafters. You will also need to cut the plywood to fit the sides and front and back trims. Next, you need to drill two-inch pocket holes at the ends of the supports and insert two-inch screws.
If you are planning on building a dog house yourself, you will want to choose sturdy lumber that is free from visible flaws. You should also opt for weather resistant lumber if you can. This will pay off in the long run. Also, use a spirit level to align each component so that you can get a symmetrical look. A dog house can be built in a day if you follow these simple tips.
Aside from the structural benefits, a dog house under deck is also a great place for your pet to watch the activities around the house. It will provide a comfortable space for your dog to relax and get some fresh air.
