Kids always wanted a tree house, so our only option was to build a cubby house. It sits in the middle of the backyard so we wanted to make a feature point of it, kids loved now spend endless hours there every week!
Materials
All outdoor timber treated from Bunnings, paint form Deluxe. 70x35, metal roof sheeting, semi transparent roof sheeting, external plywood. Second hand kitchen sink. Pre mixed concrete bags.
Tools
Screw driver, nails, screws, paint brush and masking tape.
Steps
Step 1
We started by talking to the neighbours and they were ok with the idea, as they enjoy seeing kids being kids. Next we had a friend who came over to help us to dig the foundation holes as our soil is pretty compacted and clear up some of the soil for the sand.
Step 2
Next was time to concrete the posts and then install the joists.
Step 3
We used exterior plywood for the flooring. It was like that for a feel weeks and it was already a success. Then the boys fill up the bottom with sandpit sand.
Platform was already a success.
Step 4
We assembled the walls on the floor then lift them into place.
Step 5
Roofing was on and it was time for the plywood for the walls
Step 6
Once all the walls were on it was time to prime the plywood.
Step 7
then the fun part! painting!
Step 8
time to enjoy!
