Complete Set of INSULATED
doghouse plans
 

Our complete set of INSULATED doghouse plans arrives on one easy to read CD in PDF format!

This is a set of plans only, on CD.  No building materials are included with this item!

For thousands of years, dog has been man's best friend.  Well doesn't your best friend deserve the best possible house?  While we believe all dogs should be living inside at home, we realize that is not always possible.  We also realize that purchasing an insulated doghouse, necessary for the dog to survive cold weather, can cost hundreds of dollars.  That's why we have created this set of plans.

Some breeds of dogs can live outside during the winter, if they are provided with an insulated doghouse of the proper dimensions. The dimensions are directly related to the size of the dog and are critically important if the dog is to maintain warmth in the doghouse with its own body heat. The more heavily-coated breeds will endure cold temperatures more easily than will the short-coated breeds, such as Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, Bulldogs, Boxers, etc.

Dogs should be acclimatized to outdoor living when they are young and also when the weather is warm. Owners should be aware that, during severe weather, dogs may have to be brought inside the family home. Aged, young or infirm animals should not be housed outdoors.  Dogs with short coats are prone to frostbite. Dogs that are ill or elderly must be kept inside in cold weather for their well being.

But for those dogs that can live outside, how do you find the right doghouse for them?  Well, you can build one with our plans!

This plan set contains all 15 of our most popular doghouse plans, that include sizes for small, medium, and large dogs as well.  We include such options such as patios and covered decks as well.  We even have a dual entrance doghouse for multiple dogs, and plans for doghouses with an upper sun deck on the roof!  We used to sell these plans individually on our website, but we are now offering them together as one complete set for sale here. 

All of our INSULATED DOG HOUSE PLANS, include an interior enclosed insulated sleeping compartment for the dog that is specifically sized for the size of dog.  If built following our easy to follow step by step instructions, they will provide your dog insulated shelter in cold climates that is protected from the wind.  There is a second doorway inside the house that the dog uses to access its sleeping compartment that is protected from the exterior wind.  Detailed, easy to follow instructions are included for every step of the process.

Also included, free of charge, is our dog house construction guide.  This short manual tells you how to size your doghouse properly for your dog.  Using this manual, you can build and design your own doghouse, should one of our ready made plans not be to your needs.

Most of our plans are about 19-20 pages, with full color, step by step instructions of the construction process.  We also include a detailed bill of material for each type of doghouse.  Here's a sample view of one of our easy to follow, beginner plans, with full color illustrations of each step of construction:

This plan set arrives on one easy to browse CD.  All Plans are in PDF format.  No building materials are provided.  Here are some special features and details of our custom plans included on this package, (more info on the free bonus plans included below).

Our small doghouse design is perfect for a little teeny dog, such as a terrier or a poodle.  The exterior dimension of the doghouse, not included the optional deck or porch, are about 49" Wide, 25" deep, and 27" high.  It includes an internal insulated sleeping quarters, with a removable internal wind shield.  The entire dog house is insulated, and it comes with a hinged roof design that allows easy access for cleaning.  The plans come in three different styles, plain, with a patio, and with a covered porch.  Each plan is an individual plan with a complete bill of material for each option.

Our medium doghouse design is geared for a medium dog, such as a sheltie or cocker spaniel.  The exterior dimension of the doghouse, not included the optional deck or porch, are about 56.5" wide, 30" deep, and 27" high.  It includes an internal insulated sleeping quarters, with a removable internal wind shield.  The entire dog house is insulated, and it comes with a hinged roof design that allows easy access for cleaning.  The plans come in three different styles, plain, with a patio, and with a covered porch.  Each plan is an individual plan with a complete bill of material for each option.

Our large doghouse design is for a large dog, such as a Saint Bernard or Rottweiler.  The exterior dimension of the doghouse, not included the optional deck or porch, are about 72.5" wide, 34" deep, and 47" high.  It includes an internal insulated sleeping quarters, with a removable internal wind shield.  The entire dog house is insulated, and it comes with a hinged roof design that allows easy access for cleaning.  The plans come in three different styles, plain, with a patio, and with a covered porch.  Each plan is an individual plan with a complete bill of material for each option.

Our medium "multi-family" doghouse design is geared for a couple of medium dogs, such as sheltie's or cocker spaniels.  They have two entrances, one on each side, with a shared sleeping quarters.  The exterior dimension of the doghouse, not included the optional deck or porch, are about 72.5" wide, 34" deep, and 30" high.  It includes an internal insulated sleeping quarters, with a removable internal wind shield.  The entire dog house is insulated, and it comes with a hinged roof design that allows easy access for cleaning.  The plans come in three different styles, plain, with a patio, and with a covered porch.  Each plan is an individual plan with a complete bill of material for each option.

This last set is unique.  These are all uninsulated doghouses, meaning they are not designed for cold weather, and they do not have separated internal sleeping quarters protected from the wind.  We have a small and medium doghouse with a custom sun deck on top.  The last one is a two story doghouse for a pair of medium dogs.  These last doghouses are designed to be fun, and fun to build, but they are not intended to be adequate for weather protection, since they are not insulated with a separate sleeping quarters.  An internal shield sleeping quarters is mandatory in order to have a warm cozy place for the dog to hide in cold weather.  These are great to build for a dog that only spends time outside in sunny weather and sleeps inside during the cold weather.

So, why should you buy these plans for us?  Let me give you just a couple of things to think about.  All of our doghouse plans contain the following features that are unique to our plans:

Accuracy:  All our plans are CAD designed to minimum scrap and waste.

Confidence to customize:  We are including all 15 of our custom doghouse plans on one CD, along with hundreds of other basic woodworking plans.  After reviewing all of our plans, you will have the confidence to build a doghouse to suite your taste and will feel comfortable making small changes here and there to fit your needs.  You should be able to use our plans to come up with a custom doghouse if you so desire.

Minimal fancy cuts:  Standard sized lumber is used as much as possible to minimize the amount of fancy cuts you need to make.  Little more than basic tools such as a circular saw and miter saw are needed.  All of our doghouses are designed to be built with regular 2x4's and plywood, something any beginner can handle.  We didn't design them with any fancy wood or require any fancy cutting or woodworking.  Everything you need to build one of these can be found at your local home store.  They look simple, and that is by design.  They are designed to be simple, easy to build, yet very effective at keeping your dog warm at night.

Accurate bills of material:  Each plan comes with an accurate bill of material to make your shopping trip and cost estimation easy.

Print as many as you want:  All of our plans come on this CD in Adobe PDF format designed to be printed on 8 1/2 x 11 paper.  Print as many as you need for your jobsite.

CHEAP TO BUILD Go out and price out an insulated doghouse pre-made and delivered.  And then go and take our bill of materials, included with each plan, and price out how much it costs to build it.  You will find out that a comparable pre-built insulated doghouse will cost you 3 or 4 more times to buy it than it does to build it.  That's because we designed ours easy to build and cheap.  We use standard 2x4 lumber that is so cheap and easy to obtain, and plywood and cheap siding.  Our doghouses can be built in one day in most cases.  You simply cannot buy one pre-made anywhere near the cost of what it will take to build it, not to mention that with our 2x4 construction design, you will be able to insulate your doghouse much better than any pre-made junk you will find.

All original plans:  These are our plans, that we've developed over several years.  We own them.  We own the copyright to our plans.  Know that you are getting them from the right source, and that we've put extra care and our reputation on the line with these plans.

All of these plans are very easy to use and easy to follow.  You don't need to have fancy woodworking skills or high dollar tools to build these doghouses.  These are easy to read 2D plans with 3D COLOR isometric views showing you all the critical steps you need to follow when construction our sheds.

All plans on this CD are in Adobe PDF format.  You will need to download the latest copy of Adobe Reader to view these plans.  Adobe Reader is free for download off of Adobe's website, and is likely already on your machine.  You can view the 2D plans with Adobe 5 or later.

And finally, we are including an additional 500 home fun project plans.  Ranging from toys like like waddling ducks, rocking horses, puzzles, toy cars, etc. Also there are ornamental projects, cribs, high chairs, garden projects, and some workshop projects.  There are over 500 additional home hobby projects to keep you busy!!!!

Our plans are designed and written to be easy to follow and understand.  You don't need an engineering degree and be able to read complex blueprints to understand our plans.  You should be comfortable with woodworking and have good solid building skills, but our blueprints are still designed to be easy to read. 

One of the most valuable parts of our designs, is that each design comes with a FULL material and tool list.  Our Material list makes it easy for you to go to your local home improvement store and quickly and easily cost out your project.  Just print it out and go to your local lumber store and quickly and easily determine the cost of your project.  Heck, the list makes it easy enough for you to place a phone call to many stores at once and very quickly get an idea of how much your project will cost.

Comments from happy customers:

In 1959 I purchased an original home built “Thing” and ran it for several years on the Willamette River. Years later it got rotten and subsequently discarded. Now the Son of the man who originally built it from the magazine plans in his wood shop in Milwaukie, Oregon works with me and he helped his Dad build it in 1958. We decided to search for the plans and if we found them; I (an engineer) would upgrade it for two adults and build it. I bought your disk and building started last May 25 and it was ready to launch July 20th. You are welcome to use the photos and my “title” as a former white water guild; River Rat Bob from Oregon. Hope you enjoy the pictures attached. I am 60 years old but still chasing the dream as you see from my smile in the boat. 

     

Thank you for the great plans.  Unbelievable amount of information for the money.  I can't wait to get started. -Jeff D., New Mexico.

I built the doghouse using the plans I purchased from you a week ago, and it was great.  Easy to read and follow, it was a great purchase.  The kids helped, and the dog just loves it.  Thank you so much. It'll take years to go through all the stuff I want to build on your CD.  Andrew H., Colorado.

The jungle gym for the kids is amazing.  We bought the plans 2 weeks ago, and built the whole thing last weekend. We are so impressed with the amount of information shown.  It is a virtual encyclopedia of plans.  Thanks.  Josh L., New Mexico.

My God!!  That's more boats than I can build in a lifetime!  Unbelievable! The best I have ever seen.  Thank you! Craig J., South Carolina.

I've seen plenty of plans on boats.  This is the best all around package of information I've come across.  Jake M., Florida.

This has saved me so much time.  I've spent weeks looking for stuff like this.  Well worth the few bucks to get this CD.  Jimmy K., Arkansas.

I bought a CD a few weeks ago that had a bunch of links and junk on it that was ripped off from websites and other useless information.  I thought long and hard before trying again and buying from you. I can actually use this stuff.  I'm so glad I did.  A.K., Arizona.

 
Frequently Asked Questions:

Why should I buy from you?  There are lots of places to buy similar stuff on ebay.  What makes you so special?

What separates us from the rest is that we want you to be happy.  If you're happy, you'll buy from us again and tell your friends.  Getting one sale from you is great, but we want the next sale from you and the next one after that.  It isn't worth a few bucks to us to have one unhappy customer.  If you are unhappy, tell us and let us try to fix the problem.  How many sellers will say that?

Yeah, so, there are lots of other sellers on ebay.  Are you saying the rest of them will rip me off?

No, of course not.  But, beware of what people sell on ebay.  Many sellers on here will charge you an exhorbitant amount for shipping.  Many will "claim" to provide discount shipping only when you contact them, they'll tell you they'll take a quarter off the shipping price for each additional item.  We never do that.  Our combined shipping policy is clearly spelled out for those to see.  No tricky or cheap discounts.  Simple as that.  Also, when comparing our films to those of others, take note of not only the price of the item, but also the content.  You'll see that we not only offer more content per package then our competition, and not only at the cheapest shipping, but also at the cheapest price too.

What kind of permits, codes, restrictions, paperwork, etc., do I need to deal with before I build your shed/garage/gazebo, etc?

We can't answer that.  Every county in every state has different requirements.  We encourage you to check with your local building department before beginning your project.  Different regions also have different building codes and requirements.  It is your responsibility that whatever structure you build complies with those codes.  Remember, it doesn't matter where you bought the plan, or what plan you are using, or if you are even using a plan, you are ultimately responsible for the safety of the structure you build, so you will need to ensure whatever you are building complies with your local safety codes and construction standards.  There is nothing more important that the safety of your loved ones.  With that in mind, if you are inexperienced in construction, and are tackling a large project such as a shed, garage, gazebo, etc., you should verify all that you are doing with someone who is more experienced.

My county inspector is requiring that I do something different with the roof, I need to do "xyz", can you modify the plan for "xyz" and send it to me?

No.  All post-sales modifications are your responsibility and you are responsible for incurring all costs after the sale.

Do you offer any post-sales support?  What if I have questions on how to build a certain aspect of a gazebo?

Please, lets be fair and realistic here.  We are selling a CD of plans for a nominal price.  We can't be there for every customer after the sale holding their hand through email support through the construction process.  By buying this CD, you must acknowledge that you are comfortable in building the designs shown, and are fully capable of making design and construction decisions safely and responsible.  We do not offer any post sales support.  Please be aware and respectful of this fact up front.
Who's plans are these?  Is anyone else selling them?
They are our plans.  We wrote them.  We own 'em. No one else can possibly be selling them legally as we do not offer ANY resale rights whatsoever.  If you see anyone else selling our plans, please report it to us and we will file a complaint with ebay (if it is on ebay), or through their ISP (if it is off-ebay).
Are these easy enough for a beginner to build?  I have no experience, can I do this?  What do I need to know?
Well, mostly, you can build this with basic woodworking knowledge.  Depends on how comfortable you are with power tools and building your own structure.  The plans are written to be as easily understood as possible so that anyone can understand them.  However, you should have some basic wood working skills and framing skills and basic knowledge of how to join wood and build framing.  If you are unsure of what you are doing, it is your responsibility to seek the advice of a professional. 

I want to build one of your doghouses.  It is your "xyz" design.  Can you tell me how much it would cost me to build this before I buy your disk?

Lumber prices vary from region to region, even from town to town.  Building materials are very volatile in terms of price.  We don't keep track of prices daily, and prices can vary from day to day or week to week, or month to month.  In order for us to give you an accurate cost, we would have to print out the material list and start calling stores and looking up prices, and we are no more responsible for doing that, than we are helping you build your project!  Costing it out is part of the project, and that is something you are responsible for.  We won't even give you an estimate, because we know if we underestimate, that some people will try to hold us accountable for it.  We do feel very comfortable in saying that building one yourself will cost you a fraction of what it would cost you to buy one pre-built.

I like your plans, but I'm looking for a slightly different size/shape/look, etc?  Do you have one with x sides, that is y long?  Can you get one?

You can always ask, but the likely answer is no.  We are always evaluating market demand, and if there is a demand for a new product, we will research it and make a determination on whether or not it is worthy of being pursued.  But odds are, if we don't have it for sale, then we don't have it right now.  And, we do not do custom plans on a request basis.

I want to see a sample plan before I commit to buying.  Please send me a free sample plan.

We are sorry that our description, as well as our strong ebay reputation, does not provide you with a strong enough comfort level to purchase from us.  With that said, we do not provide "free samples".

What if my disk arrives damaged?

We offer a no muss, no fuss guarantee that all damaged disks are replaced free of charge.

 
FAST SHIPPING!!

All discs are mailed out within 1-2 business days guaranteed!!!

----------------------------

Have you bought plans on CD's on ebay before only to be disappointed? Did you buy a CD only to find a bunch of useless links on it?  Did you buy a disc and when it arrives it doesn't work and you can't contact the seller?

Well, with us, your satisfaction is GUARANTEED!

Many sellers on ebay who we won't name are selling discs full of links and other garbage instead of what you are looking for.  Why would you want to buy a disc full of links??  All of our plans are in PDF format right on the disc.  No links, no garbage that sends you on the internet to some website. 

All of our discs are tested before shipping to ensure customer satisfaction.  In VERY RARE cases does a disc get damaged and rendered unreadable in shipment.  If our disc shows up and it won't read on your DVD or CD Drive, let us know, an we'll replace it.  If you are unsatisfied in any way, let us know, we want you to be happy.

In some cases, customers bought DVD ROM discs and tried to play them on their CD ROM.  In those cases, it is not our responsibility for your hardware compatibility issues.  ALL of our DVD's are clearly marked as DVD's in the auction listing.

Official PayPal Seal

We are centrally located in America's heartland in the great state of Tennessee!

All items will be shipped out within 1 business day to your PayPal address. We will only ship to your PayPal verified address.  Please view our shipping and sales tax rules on our shipping and payments tab above.

All items are shipped by USPS first class mail.  In an effort to keep our costs down, that are passed along as low prices to you, all of our disks are packaged and shipped in economic sleeves and mailers.  All of our disks are labeled with a clean label and some graphics.  The disks are made this way for speed and cost, which translates into lower cost for you.  We focus our efforts on the quality of the material on the disk.  We do not believe in charging you an extra 3 or 4 dollars like some companies out there just to throw in a 25 cent plastic case and slap a color label on an item.  We believe you purchase for content, and ours is the best, although we still believe you will be pleased with the presentation.


PLEASE READ ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES:

The estimated delivery dates shown above are ebay's estimates, not ours.  Sometimes ebay's dates are completely unrealistic.  Every effort is made to get your item out the next day, but once it leaves us, we ask that you please understand that we do not guarantee delivery by any date, since the USPS does not give us a guarantee either.  Below is our estimates on what to expect:


USA CUSTOMERS
:  Most times, your package will arrive in about 1 week after we ship them depending on where you are at.  However, lately the Post Office it seems has not been very cooperative with us and we've had a couple of customers wait a few days longer than that.  If the item does not arrive, please email us directly and let us know, and we will make it right.

NON-USA CUSTOMERS
:  Same deal above,  except your packages typically have been taking about 2 weeks or so after we ship them.  We've noticed that maybe 20% of overseas customers have been waiting as long as 4+ weeks for these shipments.  The only explanation we can come up with is that it must be stuck in some container in some dock waiting on customs clearance.  It happens, and for those 20% of customers, we apologize, but there is very little we can do about that.  Your disk will arrive or we will replace it.

Multiple items purchased by the same customer may or may not be shipped in the same package, at our discretion.  We do not offer any additional discounts on multiple items other than the ones noted above.
 

Feedback Policy:

Please offer us a chance to fix any problems before leaving us negative feedback for any reason by emailing us first with your problem.  The only thing we ask from our customers is that if they have a problem, that they give us a chance to fix the problem for them before they leave bad feedback.  If negative feedback is left without any prior communication, we will assume you are no longer interested in communicating and working things out.

 

If you run into issues and wish to speak with us, we ask that you please refrain from opening a request on ebay and email us directly by asking a question first, and give us a chance to answer you before you open a request!

 

If you have any questions prior to bidding, please use contact the seller above and let us know.  Thank you!!!!!!
