Tree House Playhouse

Tree House Playhouse

Handmade and fully customizable, this huge playhouse comes with its very own tree. The house can be accessed by a rope net ladder, a rope bridge or a more traditional ladder. Leave the house by sliding down a curved tube slide.

Designer Advice:

A series of steel posts are painted the color of tree bark and support the structure. A giant pecan tree “grows” through the house but doesn’t bear any weight. The interior is finished with sloped wood ceilings and floor and includes a sleeping platform with a Gothic-style window to gaze out of. A small AC unit can be installed below the playhouse while a fan pushes the air into the house through a vent.

Buying Guide

Whether or not planning permission is needed for a playhouse will depend on a few factors.

Playhouses are typically regarded as temporary structures, but the maximum size of a playhouse that can be housed on your property without a permit depends on where you live.

A single story structure less than 200 ft² is usually exempt from permit rules, but your municipality has its own specific bylaws regarding sizing. A lower square footage might be the limit in urban centers, whereas a rural township often allows larger playhouses to exist without permission.

To be exempt from a permit, a playhouse cannot be an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Accessory dwelling units are defined as a secondary dwelling attached to, or on, the same property as a single family home. This includes basement apartments, tiny homes, and in-law suites.

If your playhouse includes utilities like plumbing or electricity, or if it exceeds the maximum square footage and height set out by your municipality, it may require a permit. It’s critical to do this research about laws in your area before you begin construction or purchase big playhouses for sale to ensure you obtain proper permits as required.

The cost associated with big playhouses for sale can be steep, but the price to ensure that it’s safe is well worth it. Building a custom playhouse will generally cost between $60 and $150 per square foot; remember, you’re building a small structure! It’s a good idea to purchase an existing kit instead of making your own, again, to ensure that it’s completely safe for the children who will be playing in it.

There is a broad variety of items you can place in a playhouse for your children to play with.

Child-sized chairs and tables are essential. They should be light enough for your children to rearrange or take them in and out of the playhouse.

Add blackboards, papers, crayons and markers. These give your kids a chance to draw and write to their heart’s content. Create an art wall by coating it in magnetic paint allowing the kids to have fun with magnetic letters or display different forms of art with magnets. Stock on modeling clay and other art supplies so they can hone their skills.

Toy garden tools and brooms would give the playhouse a realistic house-feel. Get toy dishes, plastic foods and one or more aprons for a pretend kitchen. Add a mailbox and provide envelopes they could color as they play post office. Invest in some fun puzzles and board games for the whole family.
