The ninth step to build a playhouse is to install ceiling joists and rafters as per playhouse plans. Another option is pre-manufactured wood roof trusses. If you are using rafters instead of pre-manufactured wood trusses you will need to add a girder post to each rafter in the center to give it support. The tenth step to build a playhouse is to sheath the roof with plywood and decide upon a roof covering. Most plans will call for asphalt shingles or wood shingles but its up to you. Dont forget to apply felt before laying the shingles on the roof.
Also by remembering that you can hire a professional carpenter to complete the construction of your playhouse you will not feel limited in any way when it comes to the process of selecting your playhouse plans. If you know that you will have a professional carpenter backing you up to the entire construction process you can purchase plans of any level of complexity you desire to have. It is also a good idea to remember that you can build two different kinds of playhouses. You can construct a playhouse that rests amongst the trees or you can build a small house that rests flatly on the ground. You can also choose construction plans that utilize specific themes.
Looking at some of the larger wood swing set kits this is more along the lines of what I had in mind but these are just too expensive to buy. That leaves me to build a something myself. So now Im looking at playhouse plans on the Web. I cant say Im very happy with what Ive found. Of course Ive checked out all the free playhouse plans first hoping to at least get an idea of whats involved with this kind of project. Its looking a little scary so far. Most plans seem to be written by carpenters who toss around construction terminology as if I were right there beside them on a job site. So Im off to do a little research in how playhouses are built so I can figure it out for myself.
