Playhouse Design / May 23, 2018 / Gallia Cote
Building the Playhouse Floor After clearing and leveling a spot in the yard most playhouse plans have me dive into building the floor. 2x6 treated lumber arranged in a grid-like pattern (joists) seems to be the favored choice of materials for this part of the construction the same way its used in building floors for real houses. I can build the floor right on top of the spot I cleared in the yard but Ill probably put down a tarp first to keep the boards dry while I work on them. Building a floor thats square at each corner will take some careful measuring and maybe a carpenters square to make sure everything is lined up.
An outdoor playhouse will be a fun filled place that belongs to them that every boy or girl will delight in. Young kids may have a terrific time simply playing around in the yard however a wooden playhouse is their own special place in which they are able to allow their imaginations to run riot. Kids timber playhouses will get them out of their bedroom or sitting in front of a computer game and out of doors into the fresh air. Theyll enjoy the physical exercise. When the children get older a good sized strong playhouse could work as their own individual exclusive hideaway where he or she can hide away from the rest of the household.
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.
