- DIY double thickness pallet wood Dog Kennel. In this video I go over the steps in making a warm double thickness Dog House, made from pallet palings and stringers.
The doorway is offset to one side, to allow for curling up around the corner and out of the weather. The skillion roof is perfect for placing up against the side of the house. The pallet palings are double thickness to create a thicker barrier from the elements as well as closing in any air gaps. - Jak na to + styl
Tools are definitely an investment. We went ahead and bought a lot of tools when we were putting our deck up. At anti time, I didn't want to, but we both knew that with time we would use them for future projects. Looking back I glad that we got them when we had the extra money.

Absolutely agree Morgan. I bet you saved a lot of money putting the deck up yourself and now you also have the tools for future projects. Thank you for sharing your story, I appreciate it.
I normally watch diy videos at 1.5 speed to get through the fluff - but this one is tight! Well done
Thanks so much. I do that to Jorgiea. So glad you like the speed of my video. 👍
My family had a mini-rhino (corgi pitbull mix) stray sneak in to our yard when she was a puppy. Kept her ever since but she’s definitely made life harder for my smaller dogs because she a fatty that takes up space. Thanks for the video, gonna build a bigger dog house for them since it’s getting colder lately.
Awww she sounds lovely. So glad you could give her a good home. And I am glad you found the video useful. 👍
Nicely done! Very concise project and video. Thank you for publishing!
Thank you for your comment. I really appreciate it 👍
$25 USD is pretty cheap for a dog house. The materials to make a dog house here in the United States would still cost you at least $120 USD to make a skilled size dog house even with lumber being $3.20 USD. The thing that you have to wonder though is what are people going to pay for a scale, size dog house at the farmers market or on Etsy, because that price is going to be more or less around $400 USD, and you’re going to get people complaining about the price.
Same here. If I had to buy the timber from a hardware store it would have cost a lot more. That's why I made it out of pallet wood 👍
i love it!. my son wants to build a dog how and it was looking way to pricey until now thank you !
I am so glad he wants to build one. Oh yes, the price of bought timber and just buying things in general has really gone up a lot lately. Good luck with the build.
excellent job and video! thank you.
Thanks Paul. Glad you liked it.
Great build! Cheers from America 🍻
Thank you very much 👍
Perfect project for this covid lockdown!
Thanks Dez. Glad you like it. 👍
What a great build! Tidy as hell. Awesome work dude.
Thanks man. Truly appreciate it.
@@NikitaMaree Lol at the man part. I will say it was a great build though and pallet builds right now is genius with the cost of lumber prices!
The look of pallet wood definitely isn't for everyone. But they're Free, so it's pretty hard to beat. 👍
Nice work, cheap to do out of pallets that can be found for free and the trim work really finished it nicely! I found this video as I'm getting ready to post a overhead pallet storage rack on my channel to keep extra or scrap lumper/pallets for projects. Keep up the great work!
Glad you like it. Pallets are great when you need some free materials. Really like your floating shelves in the bathroom with the hidden storage, nice work.
@@NikitaMaree Thank you, you have a new subscriber. I’ll ensure to hit bell so I know when you roll out new videos. Feel free to do the same if you liked that video as I have more on the way. 👍🏼
Just subscribed, always happy to check out people's builds 👍
@@NikitaMaree Awesome, you too and let’s continue to inspire others to build something awesome!
I just finished my ceiling overhead storage rack using a pallet. Thank you for reminding me with your pallet build here! Let me know what you think.
Well Done, won't mind buying one from you
Thank you, glad you like it 👍
So, we are good to proceed ahead with one for myself
You are welcome to build one for yourself.
I don't sell anything 👍
GREAT VIDEO VERY EDUCATIONAL
Thanks Kevin. I appreciate it 👍
For anyone watching this now and thinking they dont have the tools, if you're in California specifically the LA area you can borrow tools from the library.
Thanks for sharing. That's great and will hopefully help people out.
We have community tool sheds around Australia and it's a great place to get started 👍
Hi from South Australia! Thanks so much for posting this - I love seeing frugal projects. Looking at your other videos you have really varied craft/construction tastes like me. Keep posting everything you make, it's really interesting content :)
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am so glad you like my varied content and my cheap builds. I really appreciate it.
Amazing
Thank you. Glad you like it 👍
That's tops!
Thank you. I appreciate it. 👍
How do you keep bugs from making a home inside the dog house? We get these bugs in the USA that use clay to make a tube and then they live in it for a while. Can you give me a list if items you used?
We have mud wasps here, that lay their eggs in mud tubes and fill them full of paralysed spiders. They are everywhere around the house, but they mean no harm.
I don't do anything to keep bugs out. We live rural and spiders and insects are just part of it.
Hopefully your clay bugs are not harmful and good luck 👍
I think you're view counter is broken. It should say 68,000
Haha, Thank you so much. I appreciate that.
That's beautiful. 💗
Unfortunately there are no free pallets here in the Philippines. 😅
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that.
I am glad you like my build.
That's a stylish dog house!
How has the stain and finish been holding up over the year so far? Thinking of building a quail coop and might try the stain and finish you've used here as it looks so good and is, as you said, a cheaper way to go about it, so just curious if the finish starts to flake off after awhile and needs to be redone?
The stain and finish on the sides are holding up perfectly.
The roof is flaking in places but we have had 2 decent sized hail storms in the last 12 months, so that definitely wouldn't have helped.
I have recently started making my own stain to save even more money and I really like the way it looks.
I have a video here: czcams.com/video/UukDsFoj-Lw/video.html
I still use the watered down pavement sealer as a clear coat, but everything is becoming more expensive.
@@NikitaMaree Ahh interesting, since quail would inevitably peck at the wood I might be better off just ensuring Im using clean pallet wood and foregoing any stain/finish. Thanks for the update :)
Just checked it out, was very interesting, might have to give it a shot with something lol
I'm in SA, so I know what you mean about things getting more expensive.
I'm wanting to make a kennel for my dogs with recycled pallets but am concerned that the stains on the wood could become a health concern for them.
If you are not sure of what caused the stains then I understand your concern.
A lot of pallets are used to carry nasty chemicals and you never know what has been spilt on them.
I am lucky with the pallets that I get because I know exactly what they were used for and I also have a large amount to choose from.
A possible option could be to use the under side of the boards for the inside face of the kennel so the dog can safely lay against the clean side of the boards and keep the stains on the outside of the kennel. (Just a thought).
I wish you luck with whatever you choose.
Great build. Is it possible to use left over radiant barrier to keep the heat and bugs out from crawling between the wood?
Thanks Iraj. A radiant barrier between the 2 roof layers, would probably be good idea for hotter climates. The bugs for me are not really an issue, because the gaps are minimal and the door is wide open anyway 👍 Hope it works out for you.
@@NikitaMaree it's my pleasure. I Would include the silver foil like radiant barrier on the walls and floors of the dog house to really keep him safe 😊
Sounds like a good plan 👍
Hi!! Congrats for the dog house!! Nicely made!! Do you have the plans that could share it? Thanks!!
Thanks Nelson. Glad you like it.
No plans, just the rough dimensions in the video sorry. 👍
@@NikitaMaree no problem! Thank you anyway!! Cheers!
How long it took you to built the house? Thanks
3 days, on and off. I have 2 kids, so I am stopping and starting all the time 👍
Roughly how many pallets did you use?
Good question Mark. Roughly 7 pallets. But most the pallets I get have 8-9 palings both top and bottom. So a more accurate gauge would be how many palings I used. Which is just over 100. palings. Hope that helps 👍
*future builds (sorry about the typo)
How big is the dog house?
Hi Efren. The base is 1m x 1m.
The lower wall is 750mm high and the taller side is 950mm high 👍
Can u put a link of the cutting tool u used?
Hi Mandy. I just have a circular saw and a small table saw. I get most my tools from Bunnings, whenever I see a good deal on.
Great video. Well done.
Can I suggest you don't wear thongs while doing furture builds. It gave me the shivers!
Thanks Lindsay, glad you like the build.
And the tools lol
Tools are an investment 👍😊
Wtg
Thanks 👍
Put shoes on don't want to step on a nail or piece of wood
Thanks William. Glad you like the build 👍
Damn you made that look easy. Also damn your accent is sexy
Thank you. Glad you like the build and my accent 👍
I can't decide which I liked more 😂
Yeah, $38 and how much money in tools? Love to see one of these videos with hand saw, hammer, nails, screw driver and screws then we can talk about actual low cost
You can do it with those tools if you want man, it's up to you.
I've been there, as I've mentioned in other videos "you have got to start somewhere, minimal tooling is not an excuse to not make somthing."
Tools are an investment.
@@christopheclugston Tools are also available for rent or can be bought used if anyone is wondering.
In America that would cost $100 to build. A bix of screws is like $20 a gal of paint is another $20
I used the equivalent of 0.03 of a US Gallon of stain (150ml) so that's 60cents USD.
I used half a box of 25mm screws $8 ($16 full box) and one third of a box of 40mm screws $9 ($27 full box) so your $20 box of screws is right in the middle.
Not sure why this would cost you $100 to build?
Hey wilson, $20 + $20 does not equal $100
Wonderful!! Hey, this is from Family Handyman we are interested in your videos and want to partner with you. Please contact us back so we can discuss more. Thank you
No thank you. But glad you liked my video.
