XL Insulated Dog Kennel Furniture Plan - PDF Woodworking Plan with Cut List (3 Sizes)

An indoor dog crate that reads as furniture. A solid credenza with a real 48" x 32" tabletop you can put a lamp on, a slatted hardwood door, and a recessed plinth base that gives the shadow line furniture has and crates do not. Every wall, the floor and the ceiling are insulated sandwich panels, so it is quiet, draught-free, and it does not drum the way a thin-walled crate does.

Finished size: 48" W x 32" D x 38" H (1219 x 813 x 965 mm). Interior clear 44-1/2" x 29-1/2" x 30-3/4".
Skill level: Intermediate. 8 to 11 hours over two days, plus finish drying time.
