The first rule - the parameters, they are significant and are chosen according to the physique LEONBERGER or Rottweiler. Caucasian sheepdog will not go inside until it is cozy and spacious to sleep, rest, stay until sunset, the fall of the heat, the onset of coolness.

On this basis, draw a sketch, detail drawings, calculate the materials:

The measurement of the pet is taken at the withers with the tips of the paws.
The second parameter from the nose to the tailbone, will give the size in the lying position.
Tolerances are made + 15 cm.

Three sizes will create a perfect outline neat: Siberian Husky and Samoyed.

Construction of the lodge kennel

For the booth requires materials:

Wooden pine edged board 200x30 mm.
Insulation (shavings, sawdust) 0.5 m³.
Self-tapping screws 3x70, nails 100x3, 90x3 mm.
Bar 70x40 mm.
Tools - hacksaw, hammer, drill, SHOOTER.
Lacquer on wood.

Making the doghouse

Bars are hammered into the frame, fastening is done with nails. Self-tapping screws fasten the corners of the frame. For strength, corners made of metal, wood are put. The box is made to the size of the withers - the tips of the legs, from nose to tailbone (+15 cm).

On one of the walls is sawn out a manhole. Dimensions height, width of the cage and kennel selected by the pet (+ 5 cm to the height, width). All joints and edges of wooden constructions should be sanded with sandpaper.

Building an aviary

According to the size, location on the selected site are placed pegs, corners of the structure, reference points for installing the posts, laying the base. Before construction, it is taken into account:

Pedigree.
Age.
Gender.
The sides of the world.
Wind patterns.

Optimal aviary for the dog with their own hands drawings and dimensions in the typical series, where the parameters are chosen at the rate of height at the withers to the area of the enclosure (cm/m2): 50/6, 50-55/8, over 65/10. Along the perimeter of the canopy are dug pits 1,0 x 0,3 m deep (4 in the corners, 1-2 on each wall). Posts made of metal pipe Ø 108x3.5 3.0 m long are concreted into the drilled, excavated pits. Concrete grade B20, W 150, F 35.

Before installing the posts, they are primed on the bottom and treated with bitumen mastic. For the convenience of fixing the crossbars to the pipes are welded eyelets made of plate 50x50x3. In each eyelet is made 3-4 holes Ø 4 for screws. Welded joints are cleaned of slag, primed and coated with paint.

At the bottom of the ribbon foundation markings along the racks, the reinforcement is mounted in the frame and the formwork. Reinforcement Ø 6-10 A1 is tied with annealed wire. After the arrangement of the reinforcing frame and the formwork, the floors are poured with concrete B50 at a height of 40-50 mm above the metal reinforcement (protective layer of concrete).

In 72 hours, after the concrete has reached 70% strength, the formwork is removed and the outer part of the foundation is covered with bituminous mastic. On the foundations, the beams, 70x50 bars on the perimeter are laid. The foundation, on which the wooden floors are laid, put insulation, and the floors are covered with boards or planks.

After laying the flooring begin the device rear continuous wall of edged boards 200x30 mm. Along the perimeter of the aviary in three dimensions are put cross bars (bottom, top, middle). On the crosspieces, a 2D mesh with 4-6 mm wire is fastened. Fixing is done accurately, with ties and bolts, without sharp ends of metal and wire.

Using rods, not mesh at a higher price, will last longer for 10-15 years.

When the work on the walls and floors is completed, a framework of roof decking is constructed, purlins, cross beams are put, and purlins are made. On the frame is laid decking of metal shingles, stamped sheets corrugated 10-80. Galvanized sheets are coated with polymer paint, enamel. To protect against rain and snow over the top is sewn with a board eaves height of 0.5 m.

To prevent decay, molding of the boards, wooden frame, timber, they are treated with flame retardants.
