What are the best dog houses to use? Saw some for sale at the SETW that looked nice & didn't seem to be too expensive, but can't remember the vendors name.

I use drums. Then the other day I decided to build a place on top of it so the dog can lay up there and it comes out far enough over the front and will keep rain out. All I did was cut a pallet in half. Then nailed a hard piece of flooring to it. Then put one part under barrel and piece on top and nailed em together. Turned out great. Dog lays up there all the time. Im gonna put em all my barrels.
thats a good ideal duck. i put a 30 gal.drum inside a 55 gal. drum then built plywood box around it,then i put a pallet under it to get it off the ground. i got the plywood out of a dumpster and somebody gave me the drums so the only thing i got in it is the nails i used which was about a couple of bucks.lol

[B]Here's one I fixed up. Keeps rain out and barrel from rolling but if you have one that will climb. Do not put in corner.
Mine is in the corner because there is a little hole in the Chain link and i figured the dogs would figure out how to make it bigger so i put my houses in the corner. But what i did was got a sheet of plywood and nailed it to (2) 2x10's and laid it across the top of the kennel and i put plywood along the sides of the kennel so with the roof and sides half the kennel is always in the shade it blocks the rain and wind and i even got smarter and put their water bucket in the shade and Alge takes longer to build up.
This pic was before i put the side up on the left side
