Delivery Instruction 

Lead time for production is 8-10 weeks or less. Your DIY dog house will be delivered in 2-9 days depending on the distance from our site in Ohio to your home.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
You are required to offload the shipment – either a forklift or 2-3 people on the day of the delivery to manually unload the pieces on the pallet one by one. Each individual piece weighs around 1-100 lbs. so it is fairly easy to do with 2-3 people. Some customers have friends/neighbors/family assist, or hire 2 people. FedEx will schedule the delivery date and time that works for you.

SmartSide Siding

SmartSide® products deliver all the warmth and beauty of traditional wood while delivering the enhanced durability and workability of engineered wood. With SmartGuard® technology, these products are built to outperform nature, providing exceptional strength, performance, and resistance against rot, termites, woodpeckers, hail, as well as the challenges posed by humid summers and cold winters. We’re proud to offer SmartSide® standard on all of our buildings.

Key Advantages

• 50-year prorated, limited warranty
• Treated with a Zinc Borate treatment
• Resistant to fungal decay and termite damage
• Attractive overlay on the interior
• Primed face

CUSTOMER PROVIDES:

• Shingles
• Drip-edge
• Paint
• If you will be preparing a cement/concrete slab, it would have to be exactly the same size as the unit. If the concrete slab is larger then you would have to trim the 3” skirting that falls below the bottom plate that is designed to wrap around the flooring.

The above items can easily be purchased by the customer at a local hardware store.

TOOLS NEEDED:

• Cordless Drill (12V or higher)
• #2 Square Drive Bit
• Hammer
• 6′ Step Ladder
• Tape Measure
• Square utility knife with blade & hook blade

It is strongly recommended to have a level foundation for where you want to build your kennel. We recommend crushed stone, patio block, or concrete pad to form a base. However, the base of our kits is constructing of treated lumber and may be placed directly on the ground. When Preparing a base you should make the base wider on all sides by one foot. 

(If you are using a slab as the floor then it needs to be the exact size of the building. If it’s used as a foundation, then you can have it in any size.)
