So, it comes as no surprise that we want nothing but the best for our beloved canine companions, including a cozy place to call home. Welcome to a journey that celebrates the love between humans and their canine counterparts. In this tutorial, we’ll take you through the exhilarating process of building a cool, comfortable, and customized house for your dog.

What you’ll need

How to do it

• Prepare the pallets you’ll use, cutting the screws off
• Put wooden boards on top of the pallet and adjust them with screws
• Sand the boards, so they are smoother

• Insert the hose through the side holes of the pallet
• Attach it to the pallet with screws
• Fold the hose a couple of times, screwing each fold to the wood
• Join a line of 4 pallets together, with the hose through their lateral holes
• Screw the house to each pallet, as you did with the first one

• Lift the starting pallet over the one on the ground
• Turn those two, over the one on the ground, to form a cube
• Pull the house, to make sure the pallets are well joined
• Close the sides of the cube with two more pallets
• Cut a hole in the shape of a dog door on one of the sides
• Screw a piece of flexible board to top of the door, to decorate

• Build a lift gate for the house
• Use bike chains to hold the bottom part of the gate
• Use regular chains to hold the top part of the gate

• Cut rectangular slots off the edge of several board pieces
• Put the slotted boards on top of the house and adjust them with the braces

• Pass the burner over the wood, to give it color
• Put the artificial grass on the roof
• Make holes to it and install the solar lights
• Plug the solar battery to a portable fan and out it inside the house

• Wrap the foam rubber with the fabric
• Adjust the excess fabric with hot glue

• Attach a self watering bowl to one of the external sides of the house
• You can also put an automatic feeder on that spot
