-
The 4' x 6' playhouse has 2" x 3" wall studs and roof joists
-
The floor has 2x4s with 5/8 plywood on top
-
Loft is made of 2x4s with ½ OSB on top.
-
The 8' wide playhouses has 2" x 3" wall studs and 2" x
4" roof joists
-
The 10' wide playhouses have 2" x 4" wall studs and roof joists
-
There is roughly a 4-5" overhang on all playhouses
-
To build your own floor, the size of the floor needs to be the exact size
of the playhouse. The walls are designed to go on a wooden deck, so the siding
extends below the wall framing by approx. 3" to cover the floor framing. If
you order the kit without a floor to place the kit on a concrete or masonry floor,
you'll need to add a couple of 2 x 4's under the wall plates or cut off the
extended siding.
-
We recommend a crushed stone base 1' wider on either side of the
playhouse
-
Decks are 3 feet deep by the width of the playhouse.
