Mr H. G. Gundersen's dog house, which faces north in front of a lawsoniana hedge, is 25 ft. long, 4 ft. 3 in. wide, 4 ft. 9 in. high at the front, and 4 ft. 4 in. high at the back. It is suitable for five dogs. The back wall, roof, and sides are of corrugated iron. Each pen has a door 19½ in. wide and a heavygauge, small-mesh netting front 3 ft. wide. Divisions between pens are of the same netting, but could be timber. Malayan hardwood battens are used for pen floors, with inch gaps between battens. The ground beneath the floor is treated with waste oil, and material which collects is raked out and burnt. The bottom 1 in. pipe along the front is removable to facilitate cleaning. The building is on twelve 2 ft. 6 in. house piles.
