A qualitatively executed booth for a dog - a certificate of care for the owner about his pet. And she, as well as a residential building, should be built with an understanding of the case, taking into account the minimum requirements necessary for the comfortable stay of your pet.

The main argument with refusing to insulation of a dog-booth is the one that a huge number of homeless dogs winter, having no roof over your head, and even very large frosts are perfectly tolerated. At the same time, they forget that not all. Such statistics in Russia is not conducted. But cries of help during large frosts from dog shelters are very audible. The dogs flas down in them, without having places for warming, despite the fact that they increase them with the amount of meat in the diet and the smallest and smooth-haired are attached to at least a little, but insulated places.

In addition, stray dogs are still not limited in motion and can find a place to relax, at the thin end, find a free hatch of the heating main, and home, and even on the chains, are limited to the opportunities that you provide them.
If you do not translate your animal for a period of large frosts into the heated room - the booth definitely make instepically. The dog herself will choose where she is more comfortable, but why in the cold time prefers a warmed part of the booth if it is available, but we will talk about the design features of these structures a little later.
Booths for dogs without insulation is allowed to build in warm regions of the country, where the temperature is rarely lowered below the zero mark, but also in such cases it is desirable to provide easy-distance exterior insulation. But the floor and the roof in all cases do warmed. This is useful not only for winter.

Determination of the size of a dog booth

The booth must be built for a particular dog. Or, on the contrary, pick up an animal with the size of the existing booth. Option when a large size booth is made capable of accompanied by large PSAAnd the dachshund settles it, as unacceptable, like a small booth for a large dog.


In the first case, the dog will not be able to warm up its (even well insulated) dwelling, and in the second - the dog will be extremely uncomfortable and he will not be able to stay in such a booth for a long time. There is not a difficult scheme for calculating the optimal internal dimensions of the booth.


If you decide to make a booth of two rooms and insulate one of them, then the dimensions of warm cannot be smaller from the calculated, but the so-called tambour can be slightly and reduced. But not much.
In the case when you select a ready-made booth or choose an animal, taking into account the dimensions available, then consider these averaged parameters:

• small breeds of dogs - 600 x 600 x 800 with a laser not more than 300 x 400;
• medium breeds of dogs - 800 x 800 x 1100 with a laser not more than 350 x 450;
• large breeds of dogs - 1100 x 1100 x 1300 with Lases not more than 400 x 500.

But if you have time, not very expensive material and minimal work skills with a carpentry tool, make a booth for your dog with your own hands. He will feel your concern and repay with a hundredfold.

Design features of a dog booth

Now that we dealt with dimensions, you can consider constructive features Dog housing.

Actually, this is 90% of all applicable options. The remaining 10% remain on various kinds of manipulation with the appearance, fit into landscape design And demonstration or skills, skills and artistic taste, or the thickness of the owner's wallet.
With all this, you must comply with several conditions:

• the absence of elements that can wander or indoor your pet;
• the ability to cover the walls and sex for a long time to resist the effects of dog claws;
• no cracks (especially in the floor), in which dog clawing can be stuck;
• the possibility of free and easy periodic access inside for sanitary and hygienic processing;
• the resistance of the inner coating of the booth to the chemical components of disinfecting mixtures and solutions.

The possibility of simple access to the internal booths is most often achieved by the device of an easily gradual or folding roof, less often by opening (folding) one of its walls.


In an option with a duplex roof and a single-visuous room, you can reduce the height of the side walls. The main thing is that the dog has the opportunity to get up in a full-length booth. But, making such a roof, you deprive your pet one of the pleasures - lie down on it that all dogs love to do. Therefore, it is recommended to arrange a minimal bias on one-piece roof. If the booth is placed under a canopy or in the aviary, then make it a flat roof - in general without slope.
By the way, if you do the aviary, then note that its dimensions should not be less:

• 6 sq.m. - for dogs up to 50 cm high in the withers;
• 8 sq.m. - for dogs from 50 to 65 cm in the withers;
• 10 sq.m. - for dogs that are in the withers above 65 cm.

Its height should be sufficient to move to the full growth of people serving the aviary, but not lower than the height of the booth + the growth of your PSA, in the event of a construction of a flat roof booth.
It is possible an option to build a booth with a flooring under one roof or in the form of a separate element, but only in the case of relatively free movement of the dog outside the facility.

But, the design shown in the third photo can be recommended solely for the warm regions of our country, for the rest - with the device of the heating system. After all, the booth not only has clearly the best dimensions than he can dry by her body large dogAs the German Shepherd, but the whole warm air will accumulate under her roof. An animal will be cold with serious frost.
Still in the design of any booths should be provided for a device for fast and simple fastening in winter over the lase of the curtains or curtains from a dense coarse tissue type of burlap or felt. And over it should be drilled from one to 3 holes for accessing the air with a total area of \u200b\u200b20 - 30 mm.
There are no special requirements for this node except:

• maximum dense adjacent to the laase;
• ability to take the original position after the passage of the animal;
• minimum injection;
• simplicity of disinfection.

To fulfill the second item, sometimes enough light fabrics in the lower part of the curtain sewn a small oblongable container with sand.

Choice of Booth Materials for German Shepherd

It would seem that talking about materials for some kind of booth? What is available - then we use. But, as mentioned above, some rules must be respected. For example, one sweeter for warmth missed the insides of the booth with dense felt - not enough for one season. In addition, such material is a magnificent medium for reproduction of anything.
Therefore, from materials used for frame and outdoor enclosing structures during the construction of a shepherd booth, first of all we can recommend the conifer tree treated with any biostop or impregnation with a coloring effect containing antiseptic materials.

It is not recommended to use metal, including to cover the roof, if the booth is not located in the aviary or under a canopy. Blowing into the sun, he will create unbearable (even for a dog) conditions inside the structure and will make an unsuitable potential frying.
The insulation is best used polystyrene foam.
First, it is more effective than any cotton one and a half times.
Secondly, does not require hydro and vaporizolation.
Thirdly, it does not seek in the design.
Fourth, has the best price-quality ratio
Of all the modern insulation.

In the case of using any wool as insulation, we recommend using its brands not lower than the 45th density and on both sides to limit moisture access to it with a dense polyethylene film. As mentioned above, the dog mainly heats its dwelling with the temperature of its own body. At the same time, even though the dogs do not sweat much, their breathing makes the medium inside the booth is quite humid. If the wool, being a very hydrophilic material, will be on this moisture, then the insulation can become a conductor of cold, which is not necessary to us nor, especially, our dog.

For the inner layer of our sandwich, we recommend using either very dry, tightly fitted (and better tipped) boards, be surely sandy and opened with paint or lacquer, preventing the appearance of the offplace, or moisture-resistant fane or OSP. And, for the sake of God, do not be afraid that glue, fastening plywood veneer or chip in OSP, will damage the health of your pet. Phenol begins to stand out at temperatures above 32 ° C, which is not possible in the right roof device, and even in the winter - and suppressed. But, for greater confidence, cover their surface with some durable moisture resistant varnish and in the future periodically renew the coating as it is abrasion. As a fastener, it is best to use wood screws.

But the proper roof device provides 100 mm. insulation, even if you place the dog housing not on the sun, which is, by the way, is a prerequisite. In addition, its coating should be in itself not only waterproof, but also, if possible, heat-insulating. Several layers of rubberoid copes with this task, the top of which will have to change every 7 to 8 years, flexible (bituminous) tile, which will be able to periodically wash away from dirty traces of the owner of housing, or new-fashioned geomembrane, thickness and density sufficient for successful resistance to exposure His claws.

We collect a booth for the German Shepherd, according to the size of the PSA

German Shepherd is considered a dog of medium sizes. The standard for the breed is defined dimensions:

• height in the withers 60-65 cm for males and 55 - 60 - for the bitches;
• the length of the hull is 10 - 17% more than height in the withers.

Based on this, the internal dimensions of the booth, or its main separation of 1000 x 700 x 650, will be optimal.


Dogs such breeds with street content, as a rule, are placed in aviaries, so we will describe the process of assembling the booth with a flat roof that does not require a skate and roofing.


Bar 50 x 50 Cut in the amount and size shown in the images above. We need:

1. 1700 - 8 pcs;
2. 700 - 15 pcs;
3. 650 - 14 pcs;
4. 450 - 2 pcs;
5. 400 - 4 pcs.

We connect them as shown in the photos using a tree-length screws with a length of 92 or 102 mm, previously captured the place of attachment by the drill with a diameter of 3 mm. I would like to note that the dimensions of the details are shown without taking into account the thickness of the trimming material. It is necessary to take into account when assembling the side walls and partitions of your booth, reducing their width into a double casing thickness.
Tip: When using such a long fastener, we recommend using lubricant for threads of self-tapping screws. Put a small container for machine oil on site and screwed up the screwdriver before screwing the assembly. You can also replace the oil of the soap bar, which are formed by the thread of the self-impact before screwing.
Of course, you can replace the screws with nails 120 - 150 mm, but the screws are more reliable and not split when the connection is not very thick bar.
Connect all the obtained items except the roof by placing the inner partition with the opening of the lazium to the rear wall so that the dog is not removed in the little onset.
We carry out the inner rooms with sheets of OSP or plywood, attaching them to the tapping screw on a tree 40 - 45 mm long, slightly drowned the head. So that the dog does not hurt, treat the surface of the sandpaper.
If you decide that only the main premises should be warm, then you only cover it from the inside.
Fill out outside the cavity of the booth for a shepherd or its main compartment and the partition between the PSB-C-15 polystyrene polystyrene brings with a thickness of 50 mm, better with the use of mounting foam and cut outside the same OSP, plywood or tipped wooden handheld material (board, lining, etc. ).
The roof of the booth make a single sandwich panel with filling in the same polystyrene foam. Cover all the two-three layers of varnish for outdoor work or suitable for such purposes.
Bold the lid on powerful loops so that it does not shift when drunk dogs on it, and install a pair of latch locks onto it.

It remains on the upper bars under the roof to smoke two rows of self-adhesive insulation for doors and you can invite your dog on the housewarming. The focus for the roof used to fix it in the open position during cleaning and disinfection can make at your discretion.

A little about heating booths

And yet, especially for especially the cold regions of our country, it is worth thinking about inexpensive, easy to maintain and install, booth heating. Such today are infrared film electric heaters - pluns mounted on the reflective thermal insulator of the aluof type. Heating is not air, but items, they can be, without any additional preparation, fastened to the ceiling of the booth and heat the animal itself during its stay in it, or the floor - during the absence of a dog.

Dear readers, if you have any questions, ask them using the form below. We will be happy to communicate with you;)

There is a huge number of dogs for whom life on the street is important conditioncapable of providing a normal life of a pet, for example, a booth for German shepherd is extremely necessary.

Dogs for whom life on the street is an important condition capable of providing a normal life of a pet, for example, a booth for German shepherds is essential. An animal need hardening, guaranteeing the creation of optimal conditions for comfortable livelihoods. The correct owner will not leave the dog to live under the old canopy and will make a "dog house" intended for pet.

Characteristics of german shepherd

Dimensions of German shepherd

Height: Males: 60-65 cm, bitch: 55-60 cm
Weight: Males: 30-40 kg, bitch: 22-32 kg

Dimensions of the dogs for the dog

A shepherd booth must be comfortable, the size of the home depends on the size of its "owner". The volume should allow the animal to pass in the cone, it is easy there to turn around, go to bed. Such dimensions will be optimal even in areas with a cold climate and low temperatures. To determine the exact size of the house, it is necessary to measure the pet. The height of the booth should be more dog's height of ten centimeters. The width at the entrance must coincide with the breast size of the dog. To calculate the width, it is necessary to fold the input parameters and the length of the dog itself, you can buy a booth for a shepherd, but remember that the input should be with the edge.

Material for dog booth

Typically, a coneer is built of wood, even if it is a dog booth with her own hands for shepherd. The perfect option is a edged type board. You should not take a pressed stove plate, because the material absorbs moisture, it is rapidly destroyed, in addition, it has harmful compounds that affect the health of the pet. The board must be protected from water with special paint. If you live in harsh climatic conditions, it is necessary that with double walls there was a booth for the German Shepherd, you can buy it in the store, the insulation is often used for layers.

Material for thermal insulation

The material for thermal insulation is worth choosing natural, the layer is felt, cloth or cotton. You can take sawdust or something like that. Heating stuffing material Take a "natural": felt or even cotton wool. The roof is made rubberoid, slate or roofing iron. You can view the photo booth for a shepherd, where it will be seen that the roof is made double or flat. "Dog House" should be collapsible, so it will be convenient to carry out planned disinfection and you can render a pet medical care. Well, if there is a kind of entrance door, it is perfectly suitable for a canopy from a tarpaulin, which must be jammed on the door entrance. If this booth is designed for the German Shepherd, then the size should correspond to the size of the lazium, the long canopy is not needed, because the dog can get confused.

Drawing of dog booth

Today it is easy to find a drawing of a dog booth, which is easy to make a coneer. Nearby often make a small shield-flooring, designed for feeding and resting the pet, so that he does not enter the dirt. You can make a small ring or mount for the chain, still a big dog will need to hold. For a better understanding, it is worth viewing the photo booth for a shepherd, to understand what size and type of flooring to do.

The German Shepherd Booth must be comfortable, and you can always supplement it with some interesting elements.

IN modern world, options for dog life a great set. A variety of feed, clothes and toys is very large. The content in the apartment of room small dogs is quite comfortable. But how to keep a large breed in a pet? Caucasian Shepherd, Alabai or German Shepherd will uncomfortable to feel in the apartment. If the owner of the dog lives in a country house, the main solution will be the construction of a house for the German shepherd.

Wolter implies the roomWhere the animal is freely resting and lives. Some enolers contain a fenced space for walking.

Doggy's houses are also distinguished by a variety of design, for every taste and color.

Booth Ovcharca It has the same functionality as the house for a person, it also has walls, and gender and roof.

An animal is important that the booth warmed in the cold and gave the necessary coolness to the heat. To make a dog comfortably in the booth, the room is made taking into account the size of the dog. Usually, to the growth and width of the pet, add 10 cm so that the dog can be comfortably moving and with a side on the side, in his house. Such sizes of the structure for the German shepherd will mostly meet the normal conditions for the dog.

When choosing a design, you need to consider roof features. The roof is desirable to make a removable - rising, then so that the room can be removed inside and air in sunny weather. Roof design can be any. It is only necessary to take into account that German shepherds love to inspect their surroundings from the elevation, it means that it is more convenient to do the roof of the canopy and one-sided. In addition, such physical exercisesLike sealing and jumping from the roof, very useful to the dog, which is mainly limited in moving and tied to one place.

Start of construction

Before starting construction, it would be nice, draw the drawing of the booth. With sizes calculations. The size of the Booth for German Shepherd must take into account its growth, length and width. The booth must be comfortable and created to protect the animal from cold, rain and wind.

Materials in construction, it is better to choose natural. You can make it possible to make a design of a thick sheet of OSB. Parchment can be used as insulation, or any known mineral insulation.

Having drawn drawing, and placing all the sizes of booths for the German Shepherd, you can begin construction of a dog house.

Necessary materials

• Bruks.
• Boards.
• Plywood sheets, or OSB sheets.
• Parchment or other material for hydro-windproofs.
• Mineral wool, or foam sheets, or other insulation.
• Iron, or other roofing material.
• Loops if the roof design is assumed to be removable.
• Siding, or other material for plating the outer layer.

First need Make a frame. Then floor. On 4 bar connected in the form of a rectangle, attach OSB sheet, or plywood layer. Paul is ready. 4 corners, vertically, nourish 4 bars, these will be carriers for walls. In the wall, where the LAZ is assumed, the bars are also naked, along the border of the hole for the entrance.

Further, on the bars, a sheet of material is nailed, which can be insulated with insulation outside, pre-exhibited by waterproofing sheets. Outside, you can separate siding, or nail another sheet of plywood or OSB.

The roof is better to do a removable, or, on the hinges that will allow you to throw a roof like a hatch. This will allow you to clean the structure, and ventilate it.

Optimal dimensions

Optimal size booth for shepherd:

• width: 1.35m.
• length 1 m.
• height: 1 m.

Do not forget to insulate the structure. The dog should be warm, even the fond of winter.

How to choose a place to install a booth?

To the dog be comfortable in her new house, it is necessary to carefully plan buddi location. The dog should control all movements outside the house, she needs a good overview.

In order not to interfere with the person and that a person does not interfere with the dog, it is desirable to arrange the design is not closer than 10 meters to the house.

It is desirable that the dwelling of the animal is in the illuminated place. But, well, if this place will be in the shade, so that, hot summer, the dog could hide from the heat. Do not install the design directly to the ground. Try to build a slight elevation.

What instruments will be needed in construction?

In addition, stock by self-drawers and brackets for a stapler.

It is necessary to prepare insulation - mineral wool, waterproofing and vapor barrier.

The German Shepherd Booth must be strong enough - who knows what the dog will produce inside the television.

Very good will be equipped for a dog pedestal for bowls with food and water. It can be fastened next to the dog's house, or embed in the vestibule. The pattern for the dog is also the necessary design. It is designed to protect the Laza of a dog from wind and snow, with an attached tambour, direct wind streams will not be able to poison inside the room for the dog and harm her. If the design of the tambour is not provided, try to make the roof of a greater width, so that there is a sufficient canopy in front of the entrance to the Shepherd Booth.

When arranged and buildingTry to make it one hundred percent safe. In the walls, the floor and ceiling should not be protruding screws, bypass and other interference, which can damage the health of the dog. And the walls and other parts of the design for the German shepherd should be carefully deserted, are cut into and, preferably covered with colorless varnish.

The floor must be mounted so that there is no cracks in the floor. If the dog in the gap will get stuck a claw, she can snatch it and thus causing injury, which will then heal for a long time. In addition, from the gaps in the floor, the wind can be blew and the room will be cold.

If you choose some particular type of material, for the construction of a dog for a dog, choose a tree of coniferous rocks. It is more environmentally friendly, his aroma will not distract the pet and harm the dog, because it is a natural smell of wood.

The booth should not stand right on earth. You can build a pedestal from foam blocks for her, or make a wooden platform. This will protect the booth from the cold and wind, and the dog will protect against ants, bedbugs and other bloodsowing insects moving along the ground.

If the pet is too much weighs, or the size of it is greater than the standard, the floor of the booth can be fed and even crack. In order to eliminate this phenomenon, it is required under the floor of the booth to secure several bars to prevent the boobs.

It is possible for special comfort, the floor is plywood, or the linoleum is on it. It will save pets paws from unexpected injuries.

Lases booth, in the cold season, you can equip the curtain. It will not give the cold air to penetrate inside and prevent the outlet of warm air from the inside booth.

How to measure the dog

Measure the dog when she calmly lies on the side, spreading the paws. This is the most optimal and right sizewhose amount is most correct.

It is very important to make a booth of the desired size. After all, in a cramped, uncomfortable booth, the dog is unlikely to want to be long. Comfortable room, with the right walls, pleasant aroma The coniferous forest will probably enjoy the German shepherd and will be a favorite place for her time.

If the booth is properly designed, the dog will be happy to go into it and will be located in his new house. If the design of the booth is too narrow or short, the dog will not live in it. But in too spacious placement dog, although it will be free, but in winter, it may be freezing. Booth for German Shepherd should be reliable shelter from cold, wind, rain and heat.

I would like to note that in strong frosty days, or in raw, damp, rainy days, the dog is best to make home, where an extra place for it will be equipped. It will save the dog from the cold, illness and bad mood. A happy dog \u200b\u200bwill serve the owner faithfully. And the booth, which the owner has smartly personally, can be shown to guests as their own landmark.

Razing phrase about the life of the dog in our days is applicable only to homeless dogs. Watchdowers were never deprived by the attention of their owners. For their favorites, they are ready to go on considerable spending, making them comfortable accommodation.

Keeping for the protection of the house of the lowest peeling, which performs the role of a barking "alarm", not everyone will agree. Another thing is Eastern European or German Shepherd. This is strong I. clever dog, well adapted by nature for life outside the warm room.

She inspires respect and disintegrates the desire to climb into someone else's territory.

Despite the warm undercoat and dense hair Pokrov, brave ps is difficult to carry the service in frosty nights. Therefore, the most important task that its owner needs to be solved is a construction.

Our article will help the owners of the shepherd in this matter. In it we will look at successful samples, as well as give useful recommendations By their size and arrangement.

Right measured - comfortable

Designing a "dog house", should be considered anatomical features PSA. Here you need a thoughtful approach so that the room does not turn out to be close or very large. In the first case, the dog will not be able to live in it. In an overly spacious cone, winter will be cold.

The optimal size of booths for German shepherds is determined by such a scheme:

• depth should be equal to the length of the body of the animal (L) + 10 cm;
• width is taken equal to the height of the dog in the withers (H);
• the height is equal to the growth of the dog (H) + 10 cm;
• laz is made by 5 cm more breast widths (a) and 5 cm below the growth of the dog (H).

If the dog is still young and did not reach adult condition, then do not rush to take a roulette and measure it on the size above. It is wiser to build a "on the grown" booth.

For Eastern European and German shepherd dogs, kinologies recommend the following internal dimensions:

• Length - 115 cm.
• Height - 90 cm.
• Width - 65 cm.
• LAZ (width and height) - 35x50 cm.

For adult Caucasian shepherd dog, housing should be:

• Length - 135 cm.
• Height - 100 cm.
• Width - 75 cm.
• Lases - 40x60 cm.

The roof at the booth can be a single or double (tent). The second option looks better, but the connoisseurs of the shepherd often choose the first. The fact is that the dog likes to lie on the roof, watching what is happening around her. In addition, the ability to jump onto the roof and jump off it is useful for the physical form of the PSA, which most of the day is kept on the leash.

The angle of inclination of a single-table roof is made not very large (10-15 degrees). Covered it with a non-slip material (slate, ondulin or eurruberoid).

The bartal roof should have a bias of 20 to 30 degrees. As a cover, a metal or bitumen tile can be used here.

An important nuance is the possibility of lifting or removing the roof for cleaning and sanitary processing of a dog housing.

If the booth is not scored with an indoor tambour, then the roof of the roof overlaps needs to be extended by 60-70 cm, making a protective visor from rain and snow.

The floor inside the cone for shepherds is laid out of the headboards or OSB plates. Wall booths make double. To do this, on a wooden frame side, the chipboard is fixed on the outside, and inside with clapboard or plywood. Between the trim lay the EcoWhat, Minvatu or Polyfoam with a thickness of 5 cm.

The floor and the roof should also be inspired by making them double. Paul insulation eliminates the need to use the litter. During the period of severe frosts above the entrance, hang burlap or tarpaulin.

Examples of booths for shepherd

As they say, the theory is good, but practice is better. Therefore, we suggest you consider several interesting options Booth for a shepherd content.

Extending one of the roof rods and extending the clawboard, we get an open on two sides of the vestibule. In rainy weather, he will protect the dog from the rain, and on a hot sunny day, she tested it from the scorching sun.

In the following photo, we see an example of a booth with a double roof forming an open from three sides by Tambour. This configuration is not only convenient for the PSA, but also easy to execute.

Good visibility and protection against weather whims are obvious advantages of this design. Outside the loaf is crumpled by a tipped board. For the inner sheat of the walls, the floor and roof used OSP stove. Roofing material - soft tile.

The functionality of the dog's house is important, but not the only question to be paid attention to. Appearance Booth is also important. One of the original options is the imitation of human housing.

Buing such "choirs" for the four friend with a canopy and a fence you can proudly say that your dog does not live worse than the owner.

The warm booth is better to build with the calculation of the dimensions of an adult dog. Shepherds grow quickly. You will not have time to look back like your teenage puppy will not be able to get into his old coneer.

The photo below shows a booth with a combined roof. It is made above the bedroom, and a canopy is arranged above the entrance. Such a solution allows you to do without a tambour, provided that the width of the canopy will be at least 70 cm.

Regarding the location of the Laza there are different opinions. Some owners of sheepdows claim to be better to do it with a narrow side of the booth. Others believe that the dog is more convenient when the entrance is located on the long wall. We think that this question is not principled. Much more important to make a coneer such that the dog in it does not frills, could turn freely, to get in full growth and rolled out by "Kalachik" for the night.

The fact that the loaf should not be very big, we have already spoken. Now let's look at the photo where the owner clearly overreed with its size. If the area of \u200b\u200b4 m2 is permissible for the indoor tambura, then you should not make a huge booth for overnight. The only exception is the content of the dog with puppies during their extension.

Few of the owners think about what height is better to put feeders for the dog. Practice has shown that the placement of them on the floor is not the best way. Therefore, today you can meet booths equipped with coats for feeders.

To exclude direct contact with the soil, the floor of the booth and the tambour should be raised above the ground. 5-7 gap centimeters will be enough.

Flat roofing on the cone should not be done. Water will always find himself a crack and wet your guard.

Flat hinged roof can only be used in a booth-aviary. It is built in the case when the house is often visited by a stranger dog people.

In order for the dog not spinning under his feet and did not interfere with cleaning over the entrance to the conea put a piece of plywood. It shifts up and down two guides.

How to make a warm dwelling for shepherd?

In order to build a shepherd booth with their own hands, the following materials will be needed:

1. The planed bar of the 5x5 cm cross section for the base frame, racks and ribs of the frame.
2. OSB plate for floors, roofs and outdoor wall sheat.
3. Pine lining for interior decoration.
4. Polyfoam or minicle 5 cm thick for wall insulation, floor and roofs.
5. Steel corner for assembling frame.
6. Saws.
7. Roofing material (asbetic slate, ondulin or metal tile).

First step - cutting bars and assembly of the base frame. For the floor, you can use a whole sheet of OSB. Its dimensions of 1.25 x 2.5 meters fit perfectly into the recommended gabarities of Booth and Tambura for German Shepherd.

The width of the sleeping compartment outside we will have 0.77 m. In this case, 0.65 m will remain inside (0.75 m - the thickness of the insulation 0.1 m, the OSB plate and the lining 0.02 m). The total length of the booths will take equal to 125 cm, and its internal height is 90 cm. 2.5-1.25 \u003d 1.25 meters will remain on the ebbour.

Paul in our version is made double. The cavity between the trim in the sleeping office is filled with insulation, and an empty tambour is left under the tambour. For the creation of a ventilated gap between the bottom of the base and the soil to the stove fasten the four antiseptic bars.

The next stage of work is the installation of the racks and the upper strapping of the frame. To do this, chop the bar in the size of the drawing and attach it to the base plate with steel corners. After that, bars of the top belt of the frame are fixed to the upper ends of the racks.

Having gathered the frame, make the inner (clapboard) and the outer (slab of the OSB) of the booth. After that, the insulation is laid in the space between the clapboard and the OSB.

To protect the tambura from blowing on the back of the frame, the wood-based slab is fixed, fixing it to the booth racks and the tambura frame.

The tambour is covered with an OSB slab and attach to it ondulin or metal tile. The roof over the sleeping compartment is made double insulated and swivel. For its manufacture, a bar and two pieces of OSB plates are used. Pluging the strapping on the plate from the bar, laid the insulation and close on top of it with a second piece of the slab. Making sure that the lid smoothly and tightly falls into place, two loops are fixed to it and fix them with self-draws to the top belt of the frame.

The rotary cover is covered with the same material as a tambour. Note that slate needs to be put so that it covers the leaf to the extreme wave, located above the tambour. In this case, the water will not fall under the roof.

Having finished the assembly, the cladding of booths and the frame rack is covered with varnish or paint quality paint for outdoor work.

For the manufacture of booth, you need to choose the right place, then decide on the size. The optimal version is a design with a tambour. Then the sediment is excluded inside the room or strangue there.

If there is an aviary on the site, then it is better to establish a construction inside it. The booth should not be placed on Earth. The wooden pallet or bricks is put under it, so that the bottom does not pull the cold.

Choosing a place

Before the start of the manufacture of booths for a dog, you should choose the right to choose the place, guided by some rules:

1. 1. The location of the dog's coneers should be in such a place so that the dog controls its territory.
2. 2. The distance from the house retreats at least 10 m.
3. 3. Near other animals: chickens or pigs, as well as cesspools. The smell comes from them poorly affects the state of the pet.
4. 4. The place must be well covered by sunlight. At the same time, it is necessary to have a shadow, where the animal could hide.
5. 5. The plot for construction is chosen on a small elevation so that water does not occur.
6. 6. Be sure to take into account the direction of the wind. Installation of booth is conducted with a windless side.

Size definition

Dimensions of the house depend on the breed of a dog that will live there. Since at home the construction is carried out with their own hands, the measurements should be removed from the pet. For convenience, it needs to be laid a message. Then the scheme of the future structure is being developed and drawings are drawn up with dimensions. For the German Shepherd, the width and depth of the booths are in the area of \u200b\u200b900 mm. In the height of the roof, it is built up to 1250 mm.

Drawing of booths for German Shepherd

Depending on the breed of animal, the size of the booth and the LAZ is changing:

For each breed, the size of the booth should be optimal so that the dog is not closely on a small area and is not cold in winter in a large space.



Dygosts of dog premises

Shepherd refers to large breeds of dogs. So that it properly fulfilled their guard duties, she needs good conditions Accommodation. It can be facilities:

• without an open entrance door (in warm time);
• with an open tambour;
• with a tambour covered canopy (here the animal hides from the scoring rays of the sun);
• wolter, it is necessary in the case when keeping at home pet is impossible.

Sometimes combined structures are built, in which the tambour and aviary are made in indoor.



Construction of booths do it yourself

To make a booth with your own hands, you need to have defined skills. The features of the process should be taken into account:

1. 1. Since the pet constantly lives on the street, you need to take care of the insulation of the booth.
2. 2. During construction, only natural materials are used to avoid allergic reaction At the dog.
3. 3. For ease of cleaning, the roof is made removable.
4. 4. The roof is better to make a bounce so that it can be stored toys and brush.

Materials and tools

Before starting work, you need to prepare all materials and tools in advance.

Materials:

1. 1. For the formation of a frame, a bar is needed by a cross section of 40x40 mm. They are used in the manufacture of a duplex roof.
2. 2. The framework of the frame is carried out with a cutting board of 25x100x6000.
3. 3. Pipes or chain grid, if you plan to build a avoire.
4. 4. Instead of a edged board, a plywood is used. In this case, the possibility of creating a seamless connection appears.
5. 5. The insulation of the walls uses polystyrene foam.
6. 6. OSB sheets.
7. 7. Bituminous tile is stacked on the roof.

Galvanized coating is not used on the roof, because when it drops, rain drops or hail is created a strong noise. This causes anxiety in an animal.

For work is prepared tool:

• hacksaw;
• a hammer;
• electric drill;
• screwdriver;
• galvanized nails.

Construction assembly with a single roof

Typically, animals love to lie on the roof. It is made with a bias and is being discovered. The step-by-step process of assembling a single-piece roof consists of several operations:

Operation	Description	Photo
Production of bottom	The bottom is made from bars. For this, 2 long and 3 short blanks are scorn. One short bar is installed in the middle to enhance the design
Floor insulation	The bottom insulation is underway. To do this, the sheet of plywood is laid below. The insulation is stacked, and the second plywood sheet is stuffed from above
Assembly of the carcass	4 bars are cut - 2 long and 2 shorter. They are attached at the corners of the bottom. Vertical bars are stuffed from above
Plumber of walls	From the inside of the walls are muted by a cutting board or plywood
Wall insulation	After the end of the inside, the walls are insulated as the bottom. From above the board or plywood
Roof	For this, the frame is knocked down equal to the upper perimeter of the booth. OSB sheet is stuffed. The insulation is stacked between the bars, and the top is covered with a sheet of plywood or boards. Then the resulting shield is hanging with hinges on the frame of the booth

Barter

The first operations are no different from the manufacture of a single-piece roof. Features begin when forming a row roof frame. Work plan:

Operations	Description	Photo
Preparation of Stropil	The edged board or bar is measured. Cut triangle for mounting to frame
Formation of timidate	Rectangles are knocked out from the left and right rafters. For this, the rafters from above and below are bars
Cone Osserving	With 2 sides, the construction is trimmed with OSB sheets that are in advance cut in the size of the booth. On the one hand, a variable size is made.
Roof formation	Roof rectangles are plywood. The insulation is stacked and the final coating is fastened from above. In the upper part, a horse is formed

Warming design

If during the construction of the booth, the insulation was laid, then it is enough to keep the PSA in the absence of very low temperatures. In case of severe frosts, additional insulation is required:

1. 1. As a heater is used rolled felt. Measurements of indoor space are made. The required amount of material is cut down, taking into account the allowance of 3-5 cm per side.
2. 2. Fasteners are conducted using selflessness and washers. The step of fasteners is 20 cm.
3. 3. Heated the first wall, go to the next. In the angular parts of felt should be overlapped.

Construction with Tambour

To make the life of a dog more comfortable, the booth is made of 2 compartments. One of them is called a vestibule. This place protects the animal from the wind. Here can be facing feeders and drinkers. Brushes are suspended. Between the premises there is a partition in which the LAZ was done.

Usually, the tambour makes more the main booth so that the animal could lie freely. In the house, the dog sleeps, curling away by the village, and she does not need a lot of space there. The construction of such a design does not differ from the construction of a regular booth. Only the partition appears.

For the German Shepherd, except the booth with a tambour, built and enclosure. In it, the dog walks and eats.

Production Procedure:

1. 1. At the selected section, the foundation is formed around the perimeter. Then all the territory is filled with concrete. The wooden flooring is stacked on top.
2. 2. Pipes are inserted in the corners.
3. 3. 2 The angular walls are made deaf, and the remaining closed with a chain grid.
4. 4. The roof is made on top.

In order to save it, you can make a booth with your own hands from the remedies. In the country, there will always be trimming of bars or boards that are suitable for construction.

As a roof cover, the use of used slate is allowed. Unnecessary metal corners are suitable as fasteners. Using such materials, the price of the design will significantly decrease.

German Shepherd refers to large breeds. It is impossible to contain her houses. If there is no possibility to build in the territory of the VOLIER site, then it is quite possible to do the Booth. In the presence of skills to work with a tree to build such a building is easy.
