Step 15: Add Shingles To Your Furry Friend's Home

Another way to help insulate the house is to add shingles to the roof. The second benefit is that it will make your dog's house look better and upgrade it a bit. What you must do is install a three-piece composite roofing sheet to the dog shelter's roof panels. If you're worried about your budget, use roll roofing instead of composite roofing.

When installing shingles, remember to place, mark, and cut the dripping edge along the length and nailed it in place along the roof circumference, starting with a wall and working your way up. Ideally, it would help if you did it from the lowest roof. When installing shingles, a great tip is to use a utility knife to cut the shingles, so they fit snugly.
