A Dog KennelUser Comments/Photos

This is the ft and inch versionClick here for the metric version

This kennel will accommodate a large dog but is still suitable for smaller dogs.

The kennel is constructed out of 1x6 stock (treated lumber for the floor and roof! "x" stock for

the framing! "x" stock (treated lumber for the under floor skids and one sheet of #$% x &6% x

'$% thick exterior t)*e *l)wood from which the walls are cut.

Note 1. About pressure treated lumber

Do not use treated lumber on an) *arts the dog ma) chew. +ressure treated lumber (+T

contains *reservatives that can be toxic to )our dog.

,n this *ro-ect we have o*ted to use *ressure treated lumber for the roof! floor and skids! as it is

unlikel) the dog will chew these *arts. The walls and inside framing are of untreated lumber! as

these are the *arts a dog is most likel) to gnaw.

,f )ou have an) reservations andor a dog that chews ever)thing in sight! then use untreated

lumber for the entire kennel. owever if )ou o*t to do this! remember that all untreated lumberex*osed to the weather (exce*ting lumber that has a natural resistance to rot or deca) must be

well sealed and *ainted to *revent moisture u*take and *rolong the life of the lumber.

Note 2. The plywood

/xterior *l)wood has a water*roof! *henolic or melamine glue line! referred to as 0+ 2 water

boil *roof.

,f the exterior *l)wood is neither *ressure treated nor made from a durable rot2resistant wood!

then the *l)wood will also need to be sealed and *ainted to *revent moisture u*take and

*rolong its life.

Note 3. Paintin

3ntreated lumber should be *ainted using 0ood +rimer! /namel 3ndercoat and 4u*er 5loss/namel. 0hen dried the *aint would be non2toxic to dogs chewing! but an) damage taking the

*aint s)stem back to bare wood would eventuall) allow water and increase the danger that the

lumber ma) eventuall) begin to rot.
