Outdoor Design Choices

You may not want to go with a basic traditional, or full-blown fancy designs: Perhaps a farmhouse, or barn-style doghouse would better compliment your property and buildings. Custom made, or ready-made solutions are available for a very affordable price, due to the competition among pet accessory manufacturers these days.

Most dog house designs come fully insulated with a variety of eye-catching elements like: mock chimneys, windows, self-retracting doors, etc. If you plan to make your own: Make sure you get a set of plans in front of you and/or have someone with building experience on hand for help. Just because a dog house isn't as big as a house doesn't mean the chance of making errors is smaller -- A dog house is a house on a smaller scale, without plumbing or electricity (though some people include both in their dog house designs).

The best thing about modern design choices is that the choice will likely be the hardest part -- there are so many design elements, materials and accessories that it's best to set some time aside to make your choice.
