23) Ferrocement Dog House
Ferrocement is a very strong and inexpensive material that was used in constructing this dog house. In this doghouse, your furry friend will be safe from rains, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, hails, and even nuclear detonations. It can be assembled in a dense wire mesh in your desired shape. The surface can be curved in two planes, an egg or a sphere.
Excess concrete falls through the mesh inside, so you’ll need to scoop it occasionally, using it on the outside. When the wire mesh is filled and covered completely, the next step is to smooth the outside and inside surfaces so that the concrete layer is less than 1 inch thick all over. Applying all the concrete in one session can be done, to prevent a weak seam between new applications. Keep it for a week by covering it with plastic up to 28 days for maximum strength.
