Do you know that there are enclosures for keeping dogs not only on the street, but also in the apartment? As evidence, the article presents a photograph.
What is an aviary? How is a home aviary different from a street one? And what are the differences between an aviary and a booth? Let's find out.
Home aviary
Home craftsmen can do such a construction on their own. But in the article we will consider the main types of ready-made aviaries:
- Closed type. They look like cells. The bottom of such a device is usually plastic. Everything else is a grill. It differs from home boxing in that the latter is completely covered with plastic, and the iron one has only a door. Take a look at the photo to understand what a closed aviary looks like.
- Open type. Outwardly it is an ordinary lattice without a bottom. Reminds an arena for the child. Only the latter consists of soft materials, and the product for animals is just a lattice without top and bottom.
Street Aviary
What is a cage for street keeping a dog? This is a wooden structure with a mesh with a built-in booth inside. It has an entrance, wooden floor and a roof. This is a fairly large structure, the dog is free to walk in it.
There are insulated enclosures. They are usually more expensive than usual.
Booth
This product is a small enclosed wooden house with a roof and floor, but very narrow. The dimensions are so compact that the dog can only lie in it. If desired, the owners insulate the booth with their own hands.
What is the difference?
What is the difference between a street aviary for a dog and a booth? The dimensions, of course. And the material from which both structures are made. Some craftsmen make iron booths. Others make a home for dogs from chipboard. The aviary is made only of wood and a metal grate for walking is added. Moreover, it is warmer. It already resembles a real home.
How to insulate a booth and aviary?
The booth can be beaten with warm materials (particleboard, polystyrene). Someone is limited to planting flooring made of rags or hay.
The enclosure is good in that it can be heated. You can insulate it with polystyrene, mineral wool or felt material.
In aviaries, as a rule, there are also built-in booths. You can put hay inside them, and also cover the bottom of the barred space with insulation.
Conclusion
So we figured out what kind of houses for dogs are and how they differ from each other.
For those who live in a city apartment, we advise you to purchase a home aviary. It allows you to close your pet when you go somewhere. This will allow you not to worry that the dog will ruin the wallpaper, furniture or clothes.
