DIY garden shed/Playhouse

If you want to create a great childrens play area in your garden then you dont have to begin with building your own diy shed straight away, you can begin with a standard square playhouse or a prefabricated shed which are available in most home improvement stores.

But a well planned and designed DIY garden shed come playhouse can be a fantasy world for your children, somewhere they can be entertained for hours and hours at a time. If you have young boys for example you could build the DIY playhouse into a mini childrens shed workshop. You could include storage areas for your little boys toy hammers and saws and you will probably find he will imitate you while take on your diy garden shed building projects.

For girls you can turn a DIY garden shed project into a mini dolls house, complete with wardrobes and even a kitchen. With the right type of shed plan your shed design can be anything from a dolls house to a fantasy fairy castle.

A playhouse though can differ from a standard DIY garden shed because you can include two levels in your shed design to simulate an “upstairs” and “downstairs”. Your shed plan should also sho you how to build safe ladders and how to fix them securely to accomodate this type of shed design.

One final point I would like to emphasise if you intending on building a two level playhouse which is this; Please ensure that when you reach the top higher windows in your shed design, to ensure that they are to small for a child to fall out of or fit through. This is usually done by crossing the main frame into four smaller squares.
