Step 10: Nailing Surfaces For the Side Panels

Indeed, you'll make your way around the entire dog house when creating claw surfaces. To create them on the side panels, you need to focus on the top and bottom, the similar way you did for the front and back panels. Start by cutting four 2 x 4 shapes about 36-inch long, but this is only for a 40-inch place. Therefore, if your dog houseis larger, you need to focus on a different length.

Nail two panels on each side. They will run horizontally along the bottom and top edges. Centering your discussions is extremely important when it comes to your side panels. If you don't center them, they won't work well with the other nailing surfaces you created with other dog pieces.
