Things to keep in mind:

Structures must be tailored toward the canine (dog) persuasion, constructed to be functional and durable for indoor or outdoor use. All structures must be complete, without exposed nails or other materials that will be harmful to animals.

Each team will draw for size of dog house to be built, small or large.

All dog houses and pet furniture weighing over 50 lbs. must include a base constructed of 3/4” plywood and casters. Please use 3 in. general duty swivel casters with rubber wheels.

The maximum dimensions are: 30” x 48” x 48” INCLUDING MOVABLE CASTER BASE. Any projections must fit within these dimensions.

When designing and buying materials for your structure, please keep in mind that the average auction value is approximately $400.
