So we built this; works well so far, keeps the beagle and yella lab pup in. we need to paint the house, add and paper/traction tape stuff to the ramp, and get a door on it yet and we are still deciding if we should add a rail/sides to the ramp.
Kennel is 10 x 10.
House is... I'm not sure... but it has 2" insulation in all the ways and 4" in the floor and roof! As you can see you walk in and turn a corner to help block weather/wind.
We raised the house 2 feet off the ground to allow the dogs more room and run and play, also it is nice to keep the dogs off the ground when it snows.
And then they can also lay under the house for shade or if its warm outside, but raining.
Kennel floor is just pressure treated pine deck boards. The deck/floor is level, kennel may not be quite level, ground is REALLY not level so we has to improvise a bit there.
House has a bag of cedar chips for bedding.
So far they stay in, our beagle is pretty good and just enjoys being outside... but eventually I would like some kennel panels to lay across the top of the kennel to prevent her from climbing out.
