The wood of the wooden dog house must have the characteristics of environmental protection, heat preservation and stability. Most indoor wooden dog houses do not need to consider the weather. The outdoor wooden dog house should consider the impact of weather conditions on the dog house, so the waterproof and corrosion-resistant wooden dog house can extend the service life.
There are no special requirements for the wood used to build the dog house, so theoretically any type of wood can be used. However, from a practical point of view, when building a high quality wooden dog house, you have to consider the following factors: the cost and availability of specific wood, the weather and durability of the wood, the safety of the dog, etc.
Each type of wood has its own characteristics, and it is necessary to understand the type of wood.
The wood of the solid wood dog house is cut from the trunk into planks. The type of tree affects the aesthetics and durability of the finished wood chips.
The wooden dog house itself is not suitable for damp places, it is easy to grow mold. Wood materials are not resistant to gnawing. If the dog accidentally eats wood, it will cause harm to the dog's body. Both expensive hardwood and cheap softwood can be used to build wooden dog houses.
Cork often comes from coniferous trees such as firs, pines, and cedars. Conifers grow fast and grow straight.
1. Western Red Cedar
Many outdoor decks are made of cedar or mahogany. The reason lies in its natural characteristics of resisting decay in humid climates. This wood can be used in outdoor wooden dog houses. And it has natural resistance to insects. Dog houses made of cedar or mahogany are common.
2. Fir or often called Douglas Fir
This wood has straight grains. The advantage is that it is cheap. Under normal circumstances, fir wooden dog houses need to be maintained once a year to avoid decay too quickly. The natural wood dog house is carefully made without benzene aldehydes, allowing dogs to breathe freely. Each model has different sizes and specifications, and you can make a reasonable choice according to the dog's body shape.
3. Pine
The pine dog house is a very common wood. There are three materials for the pine dog house, namely, white pine, mongolica and Nordic pine. The characteristics of white pine are similar to those of fir. Pinus sylvestris and red pine are mainly suitable for outdoor use by medium and large dogs. These two materials have higher density and harder texture. Nordic red pine has natural antiseptic properties. The pine dog house needs daily maintenance to withstand the test of the natural environment.
4. Redwood
Moisture-resistant mahogany is very popular in outdoor woodworking projects. The mahogany dog house is soft and easy to use.
Most hardwoods are very expensive and maintenance is not a small expense. Due to severe deforestation, some hardwoods have become difficult to find. Due to excessive use and damage to the environment, some hardwoods are actually used illegally. Therefore, hardwood dog houses are rare.
