A high-durability, professional-grade double dog house optimized for the temperate but damp California coastal climate. Engineered to support up to 100 lbs of live load, this design features a fully isolated, insulated floor platform raised exactly 4 inches off damp concrete. The structural envelope utilizes pocket-hole joinery and internal corner cleats for extreme rigidity, capped by a sloped roof with a clean 2-inch weather overhang. Passive ventilation is handled via dual 4-inch baffled vents to control condensation under tarps.
