How to Build a Ranch Doghouse

BUILD THE FRAME & FLOOR

The frame of the doghouse is the foundation for the floor, sides and roof. It is built from 2 × 4 cedar lumber.

Cut the frame sides and frame ends to length. Place the frame sides between the frame ends to form a rectangle; then fasten together with 3" deck screws. Make sure to keep the outside edges flush.

Cut the feet to length. Use a compass to lay out a 1¾"-radius roundover curve on one end of each foot, then cut with a jig saw to form the roundover. Smooth out the jig-saw cuts with a power sander.

Fasten a foot in each corner of the frame with 3" deck screws (photo A). Be sure to keep the top edges of the feet flush with the top edges of the frame.
