Although indoor doghouses are also available on the market, your pup surely loves spending time outdoors. So, it’s best to purchase or create a DIY chic puppy coop for your canine buddy.
For those who prefer to test their DIY skills, here are some amazing kennel designs that are functional and comfortable at the same time. You can get some ideas from the following doghouse designs to create a perfect DIY doghouse for your pup.
# Classic doghouse
A classic doghouse never goes out of style – it looks like a mini villa for your pup and has airy space both inside and outside. With an extra touch of color on the exterior walls, you can give a colorful appeal to the doghouse, as well as, your lawn or garden area. You can even add lots of flowers at the entrance for creating a small green area around the dog shelter.
# Sustainable doghouse
People are increasingly becoming obsessed with the environment and pets. So, one of the best ways to cater to both at a time is by creating a doghouse with some greenery around it. If you have a garden rich in vegetation, you can create a little doghouse in the middle of the green and flowery area.
Another great way to add greenery to a kennel is by transforming it into a huge planter. This can be achieved by turning a rooftop garden on the doghouse. You can add a variety of plants on the roof of the doghouse for some extra greenery around your house.
# Open dog shelter
Another chic and stylish way to let your dog enjoy outdoors is by creating an open space shelter. Although this one couldn’t be a permanent canine shelter, as it cannot protect them from harsh climatic conditions. But it can surely be used for enjoying a sunny day in some shade for a while. Plus you want to offer your furry friend an open area where he doesn’t feel strangled, the dog fence doesn’t make much sense.
# Rainwater-collecting canine abode
A sustainable way to create a doghouse is with a rain-collecting system, keeping in harmony with the environment. All you need to do is create a rainwater collection system around the doghouse and collect excess water in bowls. This way your furry friend will always be full of fresh water.
# Architectural doghouse
You can create an architectural doghouse to give your pooch the same comfort like you. Instead of conventional rectangular kennels, you can create a shelter with two roof flaps joined to form an only slightly inclined plane. Moreover, make it cozy inside with appropriate thermal insulation.
