If you tackle such a playhouse, which of course, despite its simplicity, costs a lot of work and money, you should immediately design it so that the children will not outgrow it tomorrow. Ultimately, it makes no difference whether you build the house a few inches larger or smaller. So it should be the right size right away so that you can sleep in it reasonably comfortably. Because at some point there will be nothing more wonderful for the children than to sleep there on weekends. And in the summer, it can even be used as a guest room.

Playhouse with slide: the shape saves material

The only roof shape in the playhouse with slidesaves material because the walls are eliminated. This results in a room height of about 140 cm and slopes, which, however, make up the charm of the house. The length of the base is based on that of a mattress at two meters. The roof consists of four 122 cm slabs, so the length of the house with the roof overhang is 244 cm. We chose 3 mm acrylic glass for the windows. It is safer than glass when things get a bit wilder. Since the house stands on stilts, it is relatively well protected against moisture. Completely complete the three main elements of the roof structure with window openings and doors before you start working on the foundations. You determine their position by placing the two gable elements temporarily, but parallel and at the correct distance from each other. The positions of the corner posts are now fixed. Mark the center on two floor boards that have already been cut to the correct length and hammer stakes into the ground at the positions of the two middle posts.

The design of the point foundations shown is the simplest, but also the least permanent. Because impregnated posts also rot in the gravel coat after a few years. It becomes more permanent if you provide the play house with a slide with concrete point foundations, into which you cast concrete support shoes. If you prefer to lay the floor without cracks, first place a continuous floor board in front of the rafters. Place the divided boards in between without any gaps in front, nail them and connect the next boards without any gaps.

Before you cover the roof, screw the outer support slats and double layers under the outer edges of the roof tiles. Connect the overlap of the roofing felt to the bitumen sealer. Recommendation: Apply a second layer of roofing felt with bitumen adhesive (use sparingly; allow to dry until the adhesive no longer adheres when touched). The slide and ladder are only connected to each other, but not to the roof. So they can be removed at any time.
