Doghouse
Do your best friend a solid and have a little fun yourself. This sturdy doghouse is an enjoyable project that will keep your furry pal warm and dry.
This design features a removable roof for easier cleaning, and the floor is raised off the ground to keep your dog protected from rainy weather. This plan will accommodate dogs up to 60 pounds, but it can easily be modified to fit a dog of any size.
