Solar-Heated Dog House

Solar-Heated Dog House BUILDINGS Miscellaneous Jack Ziegler and his son Colton used scrap materials to build a cozy “sun hut” that keeps their dog warm in cold weather “Dad built it a couple of years ago It lets our Beagle look out and see everything that’s going on outside while also staying warm ” says Jack “There’s a big bed inside that rests on a floor covered by an old carpet ” The 3-ft high 6 by 4-ft dog house is built on top of a wood pallet The entire front side and top are made from sliding glass patio doors which are screwed to a frame made from 2 by 4’s “The top side slants down toward the front and the front side tilts out to take advantage of the sun angle ” says Jack “The back side is covered by tin off an old pole building and has tar paper attached to it to help retain the heat One end of the house is covered with tin and there’s a door at the other end that was made by cutting a section of carpet into long strips ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Colton Ziegler 61366 129st St Mapleton Minn 56065 ph 507 340-3364; Cziegler18@gmail com
