nice job but that framing is way overkill. that thing will weigh a ton and you'll need multiple people to move it. Plus all the extra framing will limit the insulation value, you're already putting time in to insulate, might as well get the most out of it you can. I built one with 2x2's and insulated it with garage door insulation panels since that's all my home depot had, it's a rigid foam, 3/4 inch thick so i doubled it up to fill in the 1.5" gap from the 2.2 framing. worked quite well, will be adding a small heater and checking the temperatures this winter.
Very nice sir, I am making a doghouse right now and I am definitely going to put hinges on the roof. That is a very good idea. Thank you for the video, God bless.
Nice build. Would this insulation keep it warmer inside or some 2-3-inch-thick insulation board that has Mylar on one side? I'd put some foam or rubber to seal the top when it's down so the rising heat doesn't go up and out the roof edge. I buy brand new empty 1 gallon paint cans and mount a light bulb socket and drill several holes on the outside of the can and then install and regular old style 75 watt to 100 watt light bulb then put the lid on and it helps a bunch keeping my cats warm when they want to be outside in their insulated cat condos mad out of 2 inch foam board insulation with the Mylar pointing towards them on the inside so the heat bounces back at them. Condos are 2ft x 3ft and with 2 light bulb heaters they stay right at 75 degrees or tad more, no matter how cold it is, so they love it. That is with just a small single opening cut in it so they can get inside.
Although I commend you on the build quality. I made this mistake before and that thing will be so damn heavy. Plus, insulation isn’t there where the studs are. Studs have like a 2-3r value. Would be best to limit studs and material (use 1x3s) and use ridged insulation with limited studs. Seal the ridgid insulation against the 1x3s and reinforce any areas you would potentially make a door or add a heater whatever. Currently working on my 4th dog house and going minimal style. No tar paper, just siding right over insulation. Will still be water tight and less on cost and labor.
@@beboystyle620 I finished it almost now. I used 1x3s it was total about 12 of them. Then I used fortiflash I got for free on the roof then used shingles I got for free. I didn’t use siding just 1/4” plywood primed and painted with exterior paint. Corners are sealed with just plywood cut into 1” strips and used like any other wood corner on a house I used liquid nails on every joint and also joined everything with my Milwaukee finish nailer. Goes up to 3” finish nails. The dog house is 3’x5’ 2’3” on one end and 3’ at the taller even. It’s just a simple sloped roof. Doors on the taller end on the narrow side
@@beboystyle620 it cost less than $200 but I got a bunch of the water proofing stuff for free from work. Plywood and 1x3s are expensive right now. It’s definitely yhe nicest one I’ve built so far. Both my dogs fit in it easy
@@mitchellnova324 if I message you my email, will you send me some pictures of your build? I've never built anything before and trying to get my girlfriends dog a house for winter ASAP as it's an outside dog. Been driving every night to bring her in. Then let her back out every morning.
@@ryansinclair3462 That is very kind of you. I don't know if it helps but home depot/ I think lowes loans out tools. Hope your girls dog is okay & you've built a solid house for him or her.
On second thought, after watching another video I would go minimal on framing. Yeah OSB sheets but flat nail 2X4 studs only at corners not like building a house. But the rest you did pretty good. Insulation and simple sloped roof. I’ve some leftover black felt leftover from my roof work. And studs. Maybe less than $100. I’ve worked with guys that built tool sheds simple easy cheap that took only hours.
Does anyone know what that black paper material was? And is Fiberglas installation the only installation you can use on a dog house? Plan on building my dogs a house for the winter (atm) but really for all year around and don’t know if installation will make it to hot for them in the summer
Yeah just looked at the 4 ft X 8 ft OSB sheets to use and they’re from about $12-14 each depending on thickness. And insulation be more lil more expensive and myself I’ve some leftover 2X 4 studs and black felt paper he used. So for me I could do it maybe cost under $100 for those 2 or 3 OSB sheets and insulation I think. Don’t need that much like a huge roll of it. But dang it’s cheaper that putting all my stuff somewhere away from my chew everything in sight pit bull.
@@taj4l no. The “vapor barrier” should be on the side that has the altered temperature. Otherwise, moisture will be be trapped and mold will/can grow in the space that is enclosed and it will/can be inhaled.
@@taj4l paper side of the insulation should be on the inside wall. Insulation paper against outside vapor barrier will trap the moisture and causes weeping. I am a retired building inspector.
Yeah I’m kinda handy fixing things not sure with all this runaway inflation going on how much this cost. I know lumber shot up like crazy then I think it went down some. I used to work construction and I’d pick up all kinds of leftover materials. Not anymore though. And even if they let me I don’t have a truck. Save money if I could

It’s dog house not want it air tight without some circulation
Yay! Insulated dog house!

I’m planning to do one. Will you share your plans? Tips?

I like the video it gave me good ideas.
Should’ve showed how you installed the hinges on the house
I would put a vent in. Other than that doesn't matter. Maybe some straw for a bed
Old blankets or towels.
We need one exactly like that what was your total price ??? If you don’t mind me asking

Nice job
I would put a little heat lamp bulb in there as well.
They could burn themselves. Great idea though, if there was a shield of sorts something to stop contact, it work would!
Nice! What are the dimensions?
Does anyone know what that black paper material was? And is Fiberglas installation the only installation you can use on a dog house? Plan on building my dogs a house for the winter (atm) but really for all year around and don’t know if installation will make it to hot for them in the summer
It was black roofing felt they used it as water vapor barrier and not much else. It doesn’t insulate very well. Maybe wind barrier..
Can use foam insulation it give a greater R value than fiberglass the kind he put on roof
Yeah just looked at the 4 ft X 8 ft OSB sheets to use and they’re from about $12-14 each depending on thickness. And insulation be more lil more expensive and myself I’ve some leftover 2X 4 studs and black felt paper he used.

I wonder, what is the difference in temperature between inside and outside on a cold night?
Lol well turn off your furnace open your front door and sleep inches in front of it. Probably would answer that
please stop the music
Cool!
Good job but please get a safety eyewear.
Awesome dog house, you are very talented, have a great day later my friend
I need drawings, specs and submittals bc i want to create this exact same dog house please lol
Can't wait for part 2 of the insulation process...
heyy what are your dimensions
No materials list, huh? That would be a good idea in the future.
I am a dog, my owner no makey this for mes, I freeze, needs this house, stock up on bones and dead birds to pay? Help?
If you love your pets you'd build one
Dam dog going to be warm
I would do a flapping plexyglass door
Dog can't fit..🤔
What is that black thing he puts above the insulation?
Felt paper
@@juancamaja2902 thank you 😊
THIS SHOULD BE TITLED: "WATCH ME BUILD A DOG HOUSE AT SUPER SPEED."
Seems backwards to me insulation on outside
Cool dog house but way to heavy
If only you installed the faced insulation the correct way. You did it backwards. Unless, of course, there is not a vapor barrier in the facing.
Why does the insulation have to be installed the other way? Doesn’t it do the same thing regardless of direction?
@@taj4l no. The “vapor barrier” should be on the side that has the altered temperature. Otherwise, moisture will be be trapped and mold will/can grow in the space that is enclosed and it will/can be inhaled.
@@gavinistheawesomest exactly....was thinking the same when I saw him installing the insulation
@@taj4l paper side of the insulation should be on the inside wall. Insulation paper against outside vapor barrier will trap the moisture and causes weeping. I am a retired building inspector.
i could have built this with half the wood. roof not pitched enough for shingles
Can you do a video for dogs that live in the Hood not the burbs! (Way too fancy)
Exactly, that seems like such an expensive build
Lol this was for the winter build so obviously it's going to be more expensive than the average build.... but this comment was crazy funny

FACTS
Bullet-proof windows and larger porch so I can lounge during the weekdays
How much is this to build?
30k
@@DavidSanchez-ed1xb 😂😂😂 $3000 a month to rent in California.
I made mine out of wood framing and chicken wire but make sure that I can layer the insulation depending on the weather
Nice one, u can remove the insulation at summer
The simple fact is this is way too big for most dogs in the winter regardless of how it’s built.
👌
2 small
what monster of a breed do you have? i want a monster, but the lady doesnt.
