DIY Dog House For Big Dogs Outdoor (Customized Easy Kennel) | (AD) | The Carpenter's Daughter

- Here's how I built a DIY Dog House outdoor kennel for my Border Collie, Hans during the day for shelter from the sun. You'll find this plywood DIY dog house easy to make with just a few cuts and ideal for big dogs. OR small dogs if adjusted.
Hans doesn't live in this personalized dog house, but he does like to be on garden watch while I'm in the house. BUT if your dog sleeps in it at night, you could easily add some simple batons inside to create an insulated dog house.
This project was sponsored by #BandQ, celebrating the launch of their latest #Erbauer one battery system power tool range:

Here's my written step by step: thecarpentersdaughter.co.uk/woodworking/diy-dog-kennel/
🔝Nice Dog🐕 Home🔥
You're a genius... And the fact you're wearing an Anchorman t-shirt just makes you all the more bad ass.
Watching all your videos but this one really touched me maybe because I love Hans ❤️
Brilliant Vikkie. Hans looks so cosy in there ♥️
Thank you :) we're also now treating it as his feeding station too which is working well. The amount of times we've stood on dried dog food in the house 😑 it can be VERY painful 😂
You did an amazing job on this one it’s way better than anything store bought and that personal touch with his paw so sweet 😍
Thank you :) Something tells me I'll be crying like a baby when I have to replace Hans' paw sign with another dog's print lol. But I know it'll be a great memory now I have his print and not some generic one 😊
The Carpenter's Daughter that’s something we all as pet lovers try not to ever think of but I’m sure he will love you for putting something of his with your future memory’s and moments .
Great project! Hans looks totally at home in there. Nice tip with the angled bevel and the saw 🌲🦊🌲👍
Thank you, Claire :) It's always a great feeling learning new techniques on each project 😍
Good to see someone using budget power tools, most of the big TH-camrs seem to have the expensive stuff like Festool, who can afford those!
Very true mate , is criminal how DeWalt batteries cost more than a new drill set with 2 batts included. I only use cheaper range of tools these days.
If you have to use tools everyday for your living quality is the only way to go.
Lovely new outhouse/Den for Hans , power tools getting a good workout , great job once again.
Cheers 😊 It was so much fun to make 🤗
the fixing of the large wood panels when sawing looks very good. often there are some problems with that . 👍👍 nice dog house
Thank you and agree. It helped massively on my own, otherwise it'd take me a while 😂
Am thinking about a kennel for my border terrier. She loves been outside even in bad weather. Your video is a big help. Keep up the good work
Knew those old b&q trousers would turn up trumps in the end , must of been a sign 😉😂 very good task well done , Hans looks chuffed with it , your so creative and on my wavelength .👌👍
Thanks 😊 Can't wait to do more woodworking DIY projects like this. Now I've made something with my first circular saw, my brain keeps whirring around about other house projects 😄 Those 20p jumble sale trousers were very useful 😄
I'm really impressed with your good work, creativity and very well detailed instructions, I'll try to reproduce it for my dog here in Canada. Cheers!
It's about to hit winter here in Australia and my cheeky dog ( he was rescued off of the street so we had no idea he is an obsessive cheer of all things chewable ) is in need of a new kennel.
He has gone through several dog kennels...*sigh*
Looking at this one I am seriously stoked to make it for him. As I homeschool two teens we are going to incorporate this into our 'Woodworking' studies.
You are a genius and hopefully ( fingers crossed ) we will be able to keep you up to date with our progress, too.
Thank you so much.
Oh wow, definitely let me know how it goes and will share it on my Facebook page 😊 It was such a fun project to make and love how it's so sturdy 😍
Girl power! you go girl well done..!
Hi Vikkie, when using a circular saw ensure that you have the material you are cutting supported as close to the cut as possible to prevent snagging. This happens when the material dips down on one or both sides of the blade and traps it causing kick back. Can be scary first time it happens to you. As posted by another commentator, set the blade depth so it is a few mm more than the material you are cutting. If you have some scrap wood you can put underneath your cut it will prevent most of the tear out and give a nicer finish. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the tips :)
Really enjoy your videos! I’m originally from Stockport Manchester, I’m now in the US. Your accent makes me think of home.
Thanks! :)
Great project I was looking for something like this only for a 150lb. Dog. Also I live in the US but your instructions will make it easy to size it for her. Thanks for making this video
Thanks! 😊 Glad to have inspired. If it helps, Hans is about 14kg and could probably four of him in there 😂
Absolutely love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! 😊
Love the dog house! And always enjoy watching your channel......but have a couple of suggestions re your new circular saw:
- while you can use the narrow side of the saw’s base plate (when no choice) against a fence to trim down boards, it’s better, if you can to use the wide side of the base plate against the fence....makes for less wobble as more surface area supporting the saw. So in your case you would turn the boards round so you can do your cuts on the right side (as you faced the board) rather than the left
- with some spare board and wood, make a zero clearance track for your saw! Lots of vids on YT showing how. Then much quicker and easier to do accurate cuts compared to clamping a straight edge, as you just line up the edge of the homemade track to where you actually want to cut, clamp it down, set the saw depth and run the saw along it( on the saw’s wide side)!
Hope this is helpful? Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the tips! Will remember for next time 😊
Fantastic project, well done!!
Thank you! 😊👍
Fabulous idea thank you 🙏
Great, loved the bone name plaque thing.
Thanks! That was one of my favourite parts. Every dog from now on will have to be called Hans though 😂😂😂 Nah, just kidding.... they're easy enough to make. I do love I'll have a print of Hans' paw forever though 😍
Brilliant job vikkie, looks like Hans loves his new man cave. 😊 Solid build should last for years. Lovely looking kennel too, all the other local doggies will be jealous. 😂😂😂 Great video as usual. Thanks, Vinny. :-)
Thank you :) I hope it lasts years too 😍 I think I'm more likely to look after something when I've made it from scratch too 😊
Exquisite!
Thanks! 😊
Great video Vikkie!!
Thanks so much 🤗
Lovely video, thanks for making it. I just realized that i get all my DIY tips from you :)
😍 thanks and hope my videos are useful 😊👍
Nice work.
Thanks 😊
Massive well done. You've come a really long way from the start of your journey, very impressive. Now if I could only get my wife to do the same. 🤔
Thank you so much 😊 I love how this project turned out and it's given me more encouragement to try bigger woodworking projects 🤗
Nice job
Cheers 😊
must admit your very handy,your BC is very cool I have 3, again well done
Thanks :) He was the ring bearer at our wedding a couple weeks prior, so wanted to make him something nice he could use :D
your like me a real dog lover my lat dogs were the same when we were wed glad I did,my 3 now are just as mad but work very hard with sheep.
mind you keep up the great work,your real good
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK
Great work 👍
Measuring the dog ! 😂👍🏻
You should've seen me trying to measure him when I began drawing my plans!!!! 🙈 Getting Hans to stay stood was IMPOSSIBLE!!
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK He`s ace! Very intelligent, and you can see he loves the bones of you. Great stuff.
😍
Looks great vikkie, I thought you were going remove your conifer before it becomes a jack and a bean stoke.
Thanks! The tree has been massively cut down now at the top now. Much more easy to maintain 😊
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK I thought you was gonna do a topiary of Hans lol 😉
loving the "Spoggles" :0)
😊 I'm in a very grumpy mood if I can't find these ones lol. Hate the big £3 ones... they're SO uncomfortable!
I wear them as well. :)
You spoil that dog ! some very good detail there , the felt trimming was spot on , top job
Thank you 😊
Nice!
Thanks :)
I especially love the routering, I purchased a router myself a few weeks ago now, but have put off using it, did you do a few practice runs with it or just go for it 1st time round, I always put off using power tools cause of the noise as I live on a housing estate and think the noise draws attention and the neighbours prob thinking wat is that woman up to now... Lol...
😂 I did a trial run on scrap wood before routering the kennel entrance as I have a selection of bits I'm not familiar with.
However, Hans' paw and name was my first attempt. I think hand written fonts are more forgiving than more formal ones :)
🔝Nice🔝 Dog🐕 Home🔥
Does Hans still like it?
Brilliant :)
Thanks! 😊
I wish I could do this. You did an amazing job!
Thank you :)
Nice one Vikkie! This turned out amazing 👌 looks like Hans loves it haha perfect project for a sunny bank holiday weekend 🙌
Thanks Joe 😊 Yes, I agree - one of the best Easter bank holiday weather wise we've had years 😍
What tool to use to tighten the circular sqw? I have to stopp every cut an ld tighten by hand YES unsafe
Do you mean the Alan key?
Spent some time in b&q recently, looking for some screws, only to be told the brand/price I was after was 'trade only' , good luck b&q! ............ It's screwfix for me from now on, clear pricing and actual people to serve you.
There is no 'trade only' in b&q any more. They used to have decent trade discount but they stopped that a year ago. I use screwfix and Wickes trade card....
B&Q, Screwfix all part of the same group anyway. I would have thought Screwfix would be far cheaper for any fixings, screws or adhesives. B&Q ok for the decorating and finishing side of things.
Love your vids, but Ouch!!! The brown wood you exposed when cutting your tree (0.52) will not grow back and will never become green again :(. It is only possible to cut the tree back slightly and making sure you stay in the green/ living section. The brown wood below is dead and nothing new will sprout from it unfortunately.
Thanks and ha! It's still partly brown 😂 I know very little about gardening apart from growing the odd vegetable 🙈
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤
very good you should start selling em
Thanks! That would take the fun out of it 😆😆😆 I like to keep trying different things :)
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK thats true actually i believe it would great job tho
Well, I'm happy for someone to copy the design for themselves to sell 😂😂
Awesome video! This was really entertaining to watch! Keep doing what you’re doing! Thanks so much for sharing! Any support on my channel is appreciated! let’s stay connected! 😊
Thanks :)
soon, the neighbor hood cat will move in and evict hans.
😂 actually, I've thought the neighbour may want to borrow it while we're away. They have 3 dogs and a cat and I bet they'd ALL fit in it... or maybe I should make them one one day 😊
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK if the cat ends up in there the dogs may be too afraid to use it.
Hans wouldn't be impressed if he knew 😂
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK remember, cats rule dogs. hans would look to you for help getting rid of the tiny cat.
😂 maybe that's why Hans seems to always have unfinished business with cats lol
Your dog is far to cute for a kennel.
It's only his feeding station. He always sleeps in the house :)
*I built it for him if he wanted to use it in the day as he's obsessed with garden time, but no... lol.
That's why we now have his food and toys in there.
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK You have a lovely dog and he reminds me of my dog, Tess, a Border Collie sadly no longer with us. A kennel these days is just a place for a dog to go when its too warm outside rather than a place to go at night or when the owner was out. Another great video.
You are a chip off the old block. I am 67 years old and have been doing DIY for the past 58n years , starting with bricklaying. I have built a garage, etc etc.I think people thought as a women back then i was mad. But nowadays its nothing new. You just need a brain and skills. If you do it wrong you start again. Nice to see your skills , keep it up. have u stopped making videos
Thank you and totally agree! No, not stopped making videos - but while I am in lockdown, I've decided to temporarily edit videos once a fortnight to spread them out while I catch up on my food blog as I'd neglected it for a long time. Can't wait to get back into the swing of things though :)
Glad you’re not a hairdresser...pmsl.
I am their least profitable customer EVER 😂 A good hair style just isn't important to me!
1st job after getting married..build a doghouse for the husband to be sent : )
😂😂😂 I know he can fit in it too 🤣
he`s been in allready he he...
😂
When using a circular saw, set the depth to just deep enough to cut the material. It stops it from snagging.
Thanks for the tip 😊
Erbauer tools are very poor quality power tools . I would not recommend you buy them . Your be binning them in a year . When the battery fails . Sorry
Thank-you so much my blackie best house
It's good to see you working with sponsors, Vikkie. Getting your hands on new tools and going cordless as well. I enjoyed seeing the dog house come together. It's the kind of project I've often wanted to make.
Thank you Olly :) it's great having the chance to try new tools. And I remember us talking about wanting to make a dog kennel for the first time 😊
That's what they call an Han's on project, SORRY couldn't help it , great job though !!!
😂😂😂
Nice one, Hans is a spoiled but happy pooch (he he)
Thanks Stephen :) Hope to see you at Makers' Central? 😊
This video is brilliant, really good example of what you can do with a few tools outside of a work shop. The dog house looks amazing, thanks for sharing!
Great work there
Great job Vickie. I'm sure Hans loves that and should last for years.
I was surprised the circular saw struggled. I'm guessing lack of power and possibly the blade could be the cause.
Little tip when applying the paper template to save so much sanding, lay masking tape down first then glue to the tape. You can then peel off what is remaining meaning a lot less and easier sanding.
Well done!
Thank you for the tip, Paul :) I have wondered if it was the guard not opening enough on the narrower side I tried to start on, but I'm no pro. The battery was fully charged too.
Had the same issue the other day on thin ply... but because I needed to trim 5mm off, the guard struggled to open. So, now I know if I tried to cut further down, I wouldn't have had a problem 😊
On a different note; I see you got that horrible dead stuff in the fir tree you were cutting. A few months ago I came accross a DIY tip on Pinterest that suggested a 'weak' solution of water and a little squirt of Fairy (half a litre - little squirt :-)
Then spray it over the affected area (not in the rain) and leave well alone. The brown drops OFF and new stuff appears like magic!! ..... Hope this helps, and I'm sure Hans will be forever grateful for you carpentry skills :-)
Cool, thank you for the tip - I'll try it as we've trimmed it back with it a lot since filming and it's looking very brown all over now 😂
terrific job, congrats.
Millimeters? Psst I’m outta here.
Funky the company add
Wow very creative Bone ! Nice video cute dog.
Thank you :) That's one of my favourite parts of this project 😍
Thank you for your amazing videos.
Im getting ready to wnclose basement step risers and next to build 2 dog houses.
One for the deck and one for side of yard
2 dogs? Or a holiday home for the same dog 🐕? 😉
Helping Hans..lol a sweet dog. another helpful video Vikkie
Thank you 😊
Always try and cut away from you when using a Stanley knife 👍
Thanks for the tip 😊👍
Perfect job and well finished. Well done vikki 👍👍😊
Aww, thank you 😊😊
Very professional job and looks superb. Nice one
Thank you 😊
Thanks V. I think if I built the dog house it would be only reasonable for me to get a dog.
Good enough reason, surely? 😂😂😂
I think you should build a micro brewery next week.
Beautiful job‼️ I love the way you went through each & every step, wonderful Instructions!! I also love the colors of your dig house... and your lovely pup 😉
You have a gift for sure❣ Thank you for sharing‼️‼️
We have a Golden Retriever pup who loves being in the garden ALL day. This has to be my spring project! Great inspiration and guidance, as always. 😊
Basically dressed as me at start of video. Including the tshirt lol

Oh yeah!! A carpenters daughter.... never thought of that lol!!
