For some added protection for the roof and also any occupants when it’s raining we covered the roof with some roofing felt. As we already had a bolt running through the corner halving joint we could use this plus add an additional 2 bolt fixings across the remaining span. Make sure to build on as close to level ground as possible. Also, allow for adequate drainage and try to raise your playhouse off the ground. Each timber was then screwed to the top edge of each post, ensuring that the halving joint was facing outwards so that it could connect with the other half of the joint at the top of the support leg Do you fancy a DIY challenge? If so, we give you the option to provide your own materials and construct a floor to your personal specification. We recommend this option for the more experienced handy man/woman only. Economy Solid Sheet Floor

This two-storey playhouse features double doors in a stable style made from quality materials and galvanised ironmongery on fixings and hinges for added weather protection. With everything else pretty much there the final job was to construct the access ladder for the playhouse itself. The type of ladder you go for is entirely up to you. You could construct a rope ladder using our project here or in this case we wanted something a little more rigid so we settled on an actual ladder. Here at Garden Buildings Direct, we sell a range of our BillyOh playhouses, all of which are built with quality and safety in mind. For a childrens wendy house wooden models are our personal preference. Take a look below at our top 4 playhouses to get a sense of the variety on offer:Where 2 halving joints needed to be cut we would stagger these and put one on top the other as if we were to cut them at the same level this would weaken the timber too much. This is a fairly involved job as we are going to need to cut several halving joints on each support leg at different heights and in different positions. The braces were then laid onto the door slats and squared up and screwed in place using two 35mm timber screws per slat.

To complete the floor fully we then had to cut a floor slat down to 40mm wide to fill a small gap. Fix the roof on to the playhouse Tower playhouses are very popular as they also provide space underneath. You can use this for toy storage, as a shaded play area, or even as a garage! Tower playhouses are excellent choices for growing and more adventurous children. The Gingerbread Max is built with both weather resistance and safety in mind. That's why this fantastic playhouse features things like a reverse apex roof to allow for runoff and included green mineral roofing felt as well as safety gaps around doorframes.With both sections now assembled, the rear support leg section was then positioned in its final position, you may need help here as the structure will be getting heavy at this stage. And we hope you (and everyone else reading) have had some ideas sparked along the way. But just to recap:
