The Wooden Playhouse Project

root's picture

I love woodworking! I love also metalworking, computerworking and alotofthingsworking but I am inventing words now so let's stick to wood this time :)

My kid was begging for a playhouse for years and I finally gave up and made one! As usual, without proper planning I started building and this is what I got. My kid loves it and it's big enough to be repurposed if one day is no longer used for playing.

Check out my channel for other interesting videos.

Main materials used:
Deck: panelling 145x19mm
Walls: panelling 96x12mm
Wooden legs: 65x65mm
Structure: various sizes from 30 to 55mm
Roof: 9mm OSB but I do not recommend it because some nails went through. It's ok because I have two layers of bitumen materials (shingles and membrane) but now I will have to add another layer of wood under it to cover the defects.
Other materials:
- drywall screws jackpoint self drilling for walls
- special strong screws for vital parts of the structure
- metal corners of different sizes
- waterproof wood glue 66A
- waterproof wood treatment
- paint
- clear polycarbonate sheet (6mm) for the window
