Description
The aim of this project was to design a lightweight, portable, and collapsible dog house. Though lightweight, the materials used must be durable enough to withstand outdoor elements such as rain, snow, etc. It was also important to identify a material that could be easily and affordably purchased in the area. The scale of the structure must be determined by the distribution of interior area that would best accommodate a dog and compatibility with the chosen material regarding the dimensions in which it is sold. The unassembled house must also be able to lay flat and fit in a small SUV vehicle. Clear instructions on how to assemble and secure the doghouse are required. Comfort of the dog and ease of use by the caretaker must also be taken into consideration.
