Dog Door
Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2008 12:58 pm
I didn’t have really anyplace here that these would fit on this forum, so I went to the place I thought would fit closest sense this is about my upland bird hunting dogs. I just put a new doggy door into my home without cutting a hole in a door. This was very important to my wife that we not poke holes in her new home so I had to figure a way for my girls to get in and out during the day in the summer this is the first year they will be alone during the day so I thought and thought and this is what I came up with.

I built this dog door through the window and did not have to remove anything but the screen. I open the window when during the day and close and lock it at night. The door is made if 2 sheets of particle board ¾” thick 2’ x 20” re-enforced with 2x4’s on the window seal and the particle board they are screwed into the wood frame with 4” screws.
It is pretty sturdy I kicked it hard and it never even hinted at breaking so no one will be kicking it in while I am working. I just though if anyone was in the same boat with the doggy door thing they might be interested.
Thanks for looking Brian
