The Luxury Dog House 1 of 6

Radiata pine, plywood
760 h x 800 w x 734mm d

To make my dog house I had to create the framework for the walls and then apply plywood. This was left it to dry, using old tabletops to place pressure on the plywood ensuring that it stuck onto the formwork to create secure and tough inside wall skins. After the inside walls were complete, I did the same for the outside skins. I cut holes for the window and door using a jigsaw. Edgings were applied to outline the door and the window which features a perspex skin. I then applied a roof using formwork inside the base, and then covering it with plywood. I then added a sheet metal roof to the top. To finish the dog house I added a coat of matt marine varnish.
