    when you opened that door and the snowstorm was outside... i finally realized why we have different building codes everywhere.

    Thank you for making this video!!!! I have been trying to figure out how to make something like this. I have tried using carpets and rubber and they all have failed pretty quickly. I could not understand how to get the two-way hinge system to work. This is a fabulous idea and I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video!

      Thanks for the comment. So far it’s holding up pretty good. The magnet system has worked its way apart so the next one will have the magnets with a hole in the middle that screw into the wood.

    Man a couple hired me to build a sturdy dog door for their two Great Pyrenees funny enough.
    I'm basically trying to follow your model only make it pretty lol.
    Thanks for posting this because before I took the job I was like oh yeah no big deal.
    And then I was like oh s*** this is a pretty complex thing

    • @farmdude

      The outer part of the door needs to be metal. And if they are new to dog doors only put one in until they get good at using it. Then do the double setup.

    I should also mention that I added a piano hinge to the center in the doggie door I hung it in the center and I put a piece of that heavy duty entryway carpet you know like a work mat you get at Home Depot I think it's like 2 ft by 3 ft just a small one and I cut a piece just a little smaller than the inside of the doggie door cut out so it actually acted as another insulator when the door was open for them to use and it didn't interfere with the inner or outer flaps cuz it's fairly lightweight it would just get pushed up and out of the way when the dogs would go in and out also kind of worked as a grooming tool because there's tons of dog hair on it and I can vacuum that off lol

    That is a nice setup! Well done. You might consider a patent (not joking at all)! You could also spice it up with an RFID sensor and controlled magnets.

    • @farmdude
      @farmdude  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Absolutely. I’ll make a another one after about a year of trouble shooting this concept. I like your idea of a sensor controlling the magnets.

    Nice design I did something similar but it was only two flaps The outer flap I made out of 3/4 plywood and the inner flap was out of I think 3/16 plexiglass and it was pretty damn good for keeping the air out I had some foam weatherstripping in places and I live in Massachusetts about a mile from the ocean so we have wind whipping snow sideways as well. Maybe a handful of times I'd have to shut the inner doggie door which closes like a regular door but it's 3/4 plywood with a box frame and in the box I put 2 in of foam insulation so when I shut the door it's super insulated. I had to remove the outer plywood the main flap because every time it hit the side of the house it drove me nuts having three big dogs that go out and chase every squirrel or every leaf I was going crazy here and bang every 5 minutes I'm in the process of making one out of half inch plywood see if the banging is a little less aggressive on the house.

    • @farmdude
      @farmdude  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sounds like you have an awesome setup. I do understand all the banging. One thing you could look into is some copper and magnets to stop the impact of the door. Should quiet it down.

    • @farmdude
      @farmdude  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I’ll tell ya that the outside wood parts broke so I would advise building them out of lightweight metal or aluminum. I’m doing a few big projects at the moment. New videos coming asap.

  • @waffle_chair9269
    @waffle_chair9269 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Greta idea. Maybe beads of silicone on each side, around the edges, and once dried, put back together , so each piece would have 2 tracks of silicone to fill any gaps of drafts, but allow doors to still move freely?

    • @farmdude
      @farmdude  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That’s a good idea. The wood has started to warp from the weather. I’d definitely advise painting them.

    • @farmdude
      @farmdude  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s a pretty handy one. I think I’m going to make a few changes to it here in about a month. However I don’t really have any legitimate plans. Because every dog is a different size and you want to make sure your dog will fit through the smaller door before anything.

    There is no need for flaps on inside and outside. One door is all you need. The key is making that one dog door air tight. Plywood? If you have more than one dog, that is a collision/disaster waiting to happen. Here is a link to the video you tried to improve on.
