Dog houses under the stairs
The space under the stairs is often the quietest spot in the house. Dogs like it for the same reason.
- Made
- To order, to your dog
- Built from
- Furniture boards, Blum hardware
- Finishes
- Over 350
- Lead time
- 6-10 weeks
Every staircase is different, so this is always drawn from your measurements. The den goes where the headroom is. The low end of the slope becomes storage for leads, towels and food.
We need three numbers to start. The width of the opening, the height at the tall end and the height at the short end. A photo taken straight on helps.
- Fit
- Panels cut to the angle of your stairs, with a little extra to trim against uneven walls.
- Den
- An opening or a door, a felt lining and air slots.
- Storage
- Cupboards or pull-out drawers in the low part of the slope.
- Front
- Flat or grooved, to match your hallway, in any of our finishes.
Designs to start from
Open one in the builder, size it for your dog and change every finish. Then send it to us as your drawing.
