Dog House Base Assembly

Step 1: Assemble the Doghouse Base. Start by flipping both halves upside down (Fig.a), so that you can see the underside of the doghouse base. On the underside, you will see that one Doghouse Base half is marked with an “A” and one is marked with a “B”.

The “A” half has the larger channel and the “B” half has the smaller channel. (Fig. 1b)

Place the “B” side’s channel into the “A” side’s channel, overlapping both halves together. There are five 1/4” holes in both the channels that will line up when finished. (Fig. 1c)

Take one of the five nylon ratchet fasteners and insert it through one of the side holes, being sure to penetrate both halves. Take the second fastener and do the same on the other side. (Fig. 1d)

Now you can flip the Doghouse Base over and insert the last three fasteners into the three 1/4” holes remaining (Fig. 1e). In order to make sure that you penetrate the “B” half, you may need to support the base from underneath, while you press down the fastener.

Dog House Wall Assembly

Step 2: Assemble the Front Wall to a Box Side Wall by aligning, and then inserting the tabs on the Box Side Wall into the slots of the Front Wall. (Fig.2a)

Please note the difference between what the exterior of the walls look like and what the interior of the walls look like. Vertical lines and hardware face out.

This is what the interior of the walls look like. (Fig.2b)

Step 3: Assemble the Front Wall to the flat Side Wall by aligning, and then inserting the tabs on the flat Side Wall into the slots of the Front Wall. (Fig. 3)

Step 4: Assemble the two Box Side Walls to the Back Wall by aligning, and then inserting the tabs on the Nest Side Walls into the slots of the Back Wall. (Fig. 4)

Dog House Wall to Dog House Base Assembly

Step 5: Assemble the four walls to the Dog House Base by aligning the pegs on the bottom of the walls with the corresponding holes in the Dog House Base (Fig. 5a). Please note that the Dog House Base is not square and measures 40” by 37”. The Front Wall and the Back Wall is longer Than the Side Walls. Align the Front Wall with the 40” side of the Dog House Base and all the pegs will line up.

Press down firmly on the walls, making sure that the head on every peg has fully penetrated the holes in the Dog House Base and is snapped in. (Fig. 5c)

Side Box Assembly

Step 6: Assemble the Side Box to the Box Side Wall by first folding the two flaps on the Box Side Wall outward (Fig. 6a). Then fold the Side Box panel 90 degrees (Fig. 6b) and place it between the flaps, aligning the tabs on the Side Box with the slots on the Box Side Wall (Fig. 6c). Now, firmly apply pressure to both the flaps until all eight tabs snap into place.

Step 7: Assemble the Side Box Lid to the Box Side Wall by first inserting the Side Box Lid into the Box Side Wall at an angle (Fig. 7a) that will allow the back end of the lid to slide underneath the upper tab on the Box Side Wall (Fig. 7b). Swing down and the Side Box Lid is in place. (Fig. 7c)

Roof Assembly

Step 15: Assemble the Front Gable and the Upper Side Wall by inserting the tabs of the Upper Side Wall into the slots of the Front Gable. (Fig. 15)

Step 16: Assemble the Back Gable and the Upper Side Wall by inserting the tabs of the Upper Side Wall into the slots of the Back Gable. (Fig. 15)

Step 17: Assemble the Lid Roof by first folding it up at the hinge point, until it has enough clearance to insert the tab on each end into the slot in the Front Gable and the slot in the Back Gable. (Fig. 17a)

Step 18: Align the tabs located on the top of the Front Gable, Upper Side Wall, and Back Gable to the slots located underneath the Hip Roof (Fig. 18a). First press down on one side of the Hip Roof until all the tabs are snapped in (Fig. 18b), and then press down on the other side of the Hip Roof, folding it down, until the rest of the tabs are snapped in. (Fig. 18c)

Step 19: Align the Roof Assembly with the peek of the Front Gable over the door of the Front Wall (Fig. 19). Then the entire Roof Assembly can be snapped down to the rest of the dog house. All though you will have easy access to the inside of the dog house by simply lifting the Lid Roof, you will also be able to remove the entire Roof Assembly for greater access.

Insert Floor Panels

Insert the floor panels by lifting the Lid Roof and sliding the floor panels into place with their long side aligned front to back.

Adjustable Ventilation

Air circulation in the Dog House can be adjusted by simply lowering or raising the vent cover that has been installed on both the Front Gable and the Back Gable. Raised all the way up provides maximum ventilation and lowered all the way down will provide the maximum protection from draft. It also can be set at increments in-between.
