The enclosure tones are becoming increasingly common when there is a need to contain your dog locked up. They are a good alternative to the dog content on the chains, because the dog can move freely without risk to get confused in the chain. This project provides for the opportunity to separate the aviary from the booth.
Wolter and Coura are designed for one or two small dogs or on one medium size. Think carefully about your pet's needs and pick up the optimal dimensions.
Materials and tools
We recommend that you have the following tools:- Hammer of good quality
- Circular saw that can be used for angular cuts
- Lobzik
- Roulette
- Construction pencil
Materials
- Set of galvanized nails:
Nails with flat head 30 mm
Nails Finish 75 mm
Nails finish 50 mm
- Waterproof construction glue
- 38.5 m planed sawn timber 50 mm per 50 mm *
- 6.8 m planed sawn timber 50 mm by 25 mm *
- 3.3 m2 plywood 7 mm
- Galvanized fine wire mesh, perfect 900 mm wide in width
* The dimensions of the planed lumber is usually 5 mm less than the set dimensions, since the surface is removed to obtain a polished material. For example, a timber 50 mm per 25 mm actually becomes 45 mm by 20 mm after grinding. Dimensions in our project take into account this difference.
Frame Booth
The drawing demonstrates the composite parts that you need to get started. Use a circular saw in order to cut an angle of 45 degrees for diagonal beams. Cuts at an angle of 45 degrees at the ends will lead to the appearance of a "short" face and "long" face. The long edge has a size of 495 mm. Cut 4 brus in a similar way.
When composite parts are ready, collect them as shown below in the diagram. You will need three planed timber planed lumber 50 mm by 50 mm long 810 mm.
Note that the beam on the top of the roof is attached at what angle. Bonding in a similar way will facilitate the further connection of the roof.
You will also need to cut off the two planed timber planed lumber 50 mm by 25 mm long 555 mm. They will form part of the door frame.
Attach these bars as shown in the diagram. They should be located on the opposite side of the side of the sides of the cone at the end of the roof.
Cone cladding
Below, the figure shows the separated view of the lined coneer in front and rear (demonstrates the composite parts to be cut off to bind the coneer).
Keep in mind that the scheme is based on accurate measurements in the proposed steps. We recommend that you check the measurements in your project before discharging the jigsaw.
In the presence of a good tool, cutting parts should not be a lot of work. It is necessary to make several recesses in the floor to ensure a coincidence with composite parts from lumber joining the floor frame. Check out these sizes in your project twice, and then carefully cut off.
Small errors can lead to fairly noticeable gaps, but should not worry much about it, if this happened. In order to disguise any errors, you can use a small shrill aggregate.
Now the booth is ready. By the way, we have another material on our site: a kernel for a dog with your own hands. Further part of the instruction will tell about how to make an aviary.
Build avoire
Wolter has a pretty simple design. Its creation is reduced mainly to the creation of a carcass from lumber, which will be covered with a wire mesh to form a cell.
You will need two copies of the frame: one for the floor, and the other for the top.
You can see in the drawing at the bottom, how these two parts are connected to each other. Now you will need to cut 6 bars of 50 mm by 50 mm long 1000 mm (1 meter). When you collect them, add a few mounts, as shown in the figure. Fastenings will make the aviary more stronger and prevent the distortion of its shape. The length of the fasteners does not play an important role, just use our drawing as a guide and take sizes from your project.
The drawing below allows you to better see the front part, which joins the booth. You will need another lion long 1000 mm. Attach it at a distance of 555 mm from the bottom frame.
Two vertical bars (both 555 mm) are placed in such a way as to ensure a coincidence with the side walls of the coneers. This feature will allow you to use clips to join the enclosure to the cone.
a door
Big door will give you easy access inside. Here it is best not to rush, getting rid of it. Be able to enter (or, at least, to go to the aviary leaning) will be convenient later.
The door has a fairly simple design, however, you should make sure that it is a square shape, so to suit the frame. The dimensions specified in the drawing must provide sufficient gaps to open and close it without difficulty.
Crerate it diagonally with a planed timber bar of 50 mm by 25 mm. This is important to prevent future form distortions. Do not forget to use glue and nails on all junctions to strengthen.
Use galvanized loops and screws to hang the door in the opening in the opposite of the end of the aviary.
Latest strokes
You need to purchase a roll of welded wire mesh to cover the structure. The grid for the fence of chickens is also suitable, but it is not so durable and may look inactively.
The wire mesh is often supplied in the form of rollers of 900 mm wide, which is an excellent option for this project. If you cover an aviary with a roll width of 900 mm vertically along the walls, and then the upper part, then it must come perfect, because between the bars just less than 900 mm.
Now cover the rear grid, which joins the booth, except for the opening.
Now you can already install clamps from any side of the cone to attach it to the aviary. You will find a variety of clips in a shopping store. Even two simple loops for the gate will be a suitable solution.
