In stores you can see a large number of a wide variety of children's playhouses. Each of them is unique in its own way. This article will help you decide whether your child needs it or not, and how not to make a mistake with the choice.

Advantages

Playhouses are a place where a child creates his own world, his own fairy tale, his own personal space. On the importance of creating such a space for a child modern parents no need to speak. It creates all the necessary conditions for the formation of independence and independence of the baby. This is the kingdom of the child, where he imitates the behavior of his parents in a playful way. Often, watching such games, you can tell a lot about his family.

IN role playing games the child copies the behavior of his loved ones, learns to interact with others, and make independent decisions. By watching a child play in his world, sensitive adults will be able to direct their child’s thoughts and energy in the right direction.

Scientists have proven that if a child has his own personal space, he will have a sense of responsibility for it. Children try to look after it, keep it clean and tidy. In the future, when the child grows up, this sense of responsibility will be more developed in him than in that child who did not have his own personal corner, and his parents did everything for him. With the help of a playhouse, you can create this world for your child, even if you live in a small apartment. Parents who want to support their child in his quest for independence should think about such a purchase.

From what age can it be used?

These toys are designed for different age categories of children. Your baby will definitely love playing in the bright, colorful playhouse as he learns to crawl and walk confidently. There are models on sale designed for children from 1 year to 5 years. Large houses are suitable for older children.

Selection of material depending on operating conditions

Depending on the operating conditions, there are two types of children's playhouses:

• for installation at home;
• for outdoor installation.

As a rule, indoor houses are more compact in size. If there is not so much space in the apartment, and the child really wants a house, you can think about purchasing a model with only two adjacent walls. Such a house will fence off one of the corners in the room, creating the child’s personal space.

Large models are used for outdoor installation; most often they are made of plastic and wood. These houses differ in their color scheme, functionality, style and decor.

To the apartment

When choosing a playhouse for an apartment, you should pay attention to models from:

• impact-resistant plastic;
• wood;
• PVC materials for inflatable structures;
• fabrics;
• cardboard;

IN small apartment A playhouse in the form of a tent or wigwam is best suited. Read more about this in another article.

Wooden and plastic playhouses intended for indoors do not look large and have a lightweight version. However better to choose one permanent place, it is very difficult to assemble and disassemble it constantly. The positive point is complete safety. They have no sharp corners or loose parts. But they will delight their little owners with a real roof and windows.

The smallest plastic models occupy about 1.2 sq.m. and a height of 110 cm. There are also large two-story options. Plastic playhouses are easy to use and very easy to clean.

Watch the video showing the process of assembling a children's playhouse for an apartment:

Inflatable models are mainly intended for small children. Their convenience is that they are easy to fold and put away if necessary. While playing, you don’t have to worry that your child will be cold on the floor. They will delight kids with their “swaying” surface.

To fabric houses include tents with a wire frame. They are easy to unfold and assemble; even a child can handle it. They take up very little space and are very light. The child can easily independently move the house to where he needs it. The downside is their instability. While playing, a child can easily turn over such a house, so you should not leave the child unattended.

Excellent choice for those who find plastic or wooden models too large and expensive, and inflatable and fabric models too fragile, houses made of cardboard. They are very easy to assemble. You can decorate such a house together with your child using brushes and paints. For higher structural strength, laminated cardboard should be used. You can cut out windows in it and complement them with curtains, furniture and toys. Cardboard houses can be various forms- these are rockets, huts, cars, village houses.

For the street - to a private house or country house

Outdoor playhouses are made of strong, wear-resistant materials. Such materials include plastic and wood. These materials withstand temperature changes well. They can stand in the yard all year round.

Most plastic models can withstand temperatures down to -18°C, but it is still better to clarify this point when purchasing.

See the following video for the process of assembling the model for the dacha.

Wooden and plastic playhouses will delight you with their brightness and colorfulness for a long time. The paints used in production are absolutely safe and withstand all negative influences environment for a long time. For wooden playhouses, you will have to choose the paint yourself. It will have to be repainted periodically.

Houses designed for street use, often look like copies of real ones residential buildings, only in a reduced form. It can be summer kitchens, houses with a veranda, two-story models, village huts. They have windows, shutters, doors. To give home comfort You can use curtains, furniture, dishes, toys inside.

It is better to install children's houses in the shade so that in the hot summer the children do not overheat in it. Slides, ladders, and ropes are often attached to the structure, which makes children’s play even more varied and fun.

Wooden models are usually higher in price than plastic ones. However, the natural wood used in production makes them environmentally friendly and gives them a special natural charm. These houses are well ventilated, the air will never stagnate in them.

Additional equipment

You can purchase additional equipment - slides, swings, tunnels and balls. All this will give your baby even more scope for the development of imagination.

With tunnel

Game tunnels are perfect place for child's games. He will be able to crawl, hide and visit in it if this tunnel connects two children's houses. Play tunnels can come in a wide variety of shapes. It could be a crossroads, a caterpillar, or a steam locomotive. Tunnels contribute to the physical development of the child, develop flexibility, dexterity, dexterity, and strengthen muscles. This is an invaluable contribution to the baby's health.

Tunnels can be purchased either together with the house or separately. They are not only suitable for one child's play. Together with his friends, the baby will play in it for a long time and enthusiastically.

With balls

Balls are often included with a house equipped with various play equipment. With the help of balls you can make a “dry pool”, games in which are very beneficial for health. You can use these balls for development and learning. The child will be able to learn basic colors; the balls can be used when teaching the baby to count. A fun game of throwing balls into a basket or some target will contribute to the development of a child’s accuracy and dexterity.

Bed with plywood playhouse

Every child who has already grown out of a crib with rods will be very happy if parents purchase a bed with a playhouse as a replacement. Such beds can have houses on the ground floor, and sleeping area on the second. It could be bunk bed, made in this form. In it, a child under six years old will be securely held by high sides, which can then be removed. Having shown their imagination, parents can equip such a bed with curtains, add fabric walls with cut-out windows.

When choosing such a bed, be sure to pay attention to quality. It is necessary that it does not have sharp corners or rough surfaces that a child could land a splinter on.

Check to see if there is a pungent chemical odor coming from the bed. Often, beds from a cheap price category can smell unpleasant and be made of low-quality plywood. The health and safety of the child is most important in this case.

Design Features

When choosing a children's playhouse, it is necessary to take into account the interests of the baby, how he wants to see it. In terms of its design, it should be pleasant and original, and fit harmoniously into the space around it. There are universal models that are suitable for both boys and girls. There are various accessories on sale with which you can give your child's house a finished look.

For boys

When choosing a house for a boy, you should listen to his wishes. Boys might like models in the form of a pirate ship or a medieval fortress, where he can feel like a real knight. Or maybe the baby will want a fairy-tale wizard's house. Your son may like models with a garage and a gas station. For boys, houses are suitable, to which various gymnastic equipment, ladders and ropes are attached.

For girls

The girl will be inclined to choose a house in soft lilac or pink color scheme. She may want a model in the form of a fairy-tale castle, carriage, berry or flower, or a fairy's house. Also suitable for girls are kitchens, schools, shops or hospitals, where she can play out a lot of role-playing games.

For a review of the Hello Kitty children's inflatable playhouse, watch the following video.

Choosing playhouse for your child, you need to consider several factors:

• you need to determine exactly where it will be located, after that, decide on the size;
• The age of the child is very important. For a child early age Inflatable models or tent houses are more suitable. If the child is over three years old, then your choice is more varied.
• You should pay attention to safe operation. There should be no sharp corners in the house. The paint it is painted with must be safe for children. There should be no foreign chemical odors from it. The life and health of your child depends on this.
• If you plan to often take the house with you on vacation, then you need to choose one that folds and unfolds easily and does not take up much space.
• gender and interests of the child;
• additional equipment.

Children don't need much to be happy. We buy toys for children from the store, citing the eternal lack of time and energy that prevents us from doing something with our own hands. For example, a children's house made of wood, in which children could play all day long, while at the same time spending this time on fresh air. By making a wooden house with your own hands, you will definitely make your children happy!

But adults will need few materials. As for personal time, you will have to spend a couple of days on “construction”. And don’t forget about reliable helpers, because the child will take part in the construction of his own home with great enthusiasm.

DIY plywood house

Many people underestimate the capabilities of ordinary plywood as a building material. But if you build a structure using it for your little daughter or son, it can even stand on the street for several years. The main thing is to properly process the plywood sheets and related materials. It's quite easy to make a playhouse with your own hands from plywood. Pressed sawdust has excellent moisture resistance characteristics when properly processed.

Chipboard is a durable and affordable material; it is ideal for building a children's playhouse. Chipboard is easy to process and achieve the desired look. If the house is being built for a daughter, it can be covered with colorful or pink wallpaper, if for a son - decorative wallpaper with a car-themed print. In general, the field for imagination is huge, the main thing is to have the desire to realize your ideas, after consulting with your child.

Besides chipboard sheets You will need wooden boards, nails and screws. And - small door. The door is also made independently using wooden planks And metal hinges.

Where will you need a house?

Before you start “building” a house, you should decide on its purpose. This factor will depend on where the house will be located and in what seasons the child will play there with his friends.

We choose the following options:

• house located in a residential area;
• house for playing in the warm season;
• demi-season option.

These factors will influence the need for glazing windows. insulating walls and installing a small heater for those who like to drink tea in the fresh air in winter.

A house for children is placed in a nursery or playroom. The child spends a fair amount of time in his “home” and may put some of his toys there. This option requires a minimum amount of building material. Rather, the house performs purely decorative functions, and can almost entirely consist of beautifully decorated plywood. It would be easiest to make such a house with your own hands.

The house is also placed in the courtyard of a dacha or private house. The building is used only in the warm season. Its windows do not have to be glazed; sometimes there is even no need for doors. It is enough to make the appropriate holes in the structure made of plywood and wood.

But you can build a children's house with your own hands for all-season use. The walls can be slightly insulated, the windows should be glazed, and the door should close tightly. At least in winter you can drink tea with friends in such a building. You can even install a small electric heater here.

Depending on the chosen house option, additional materials will be used:

• glass;
• mineral wool for wall insulation;
• electrical wiring elements.

Deciding on the sizes

The size of the house will depend on the age of the child. A children's wooden house may be small in size, but do not forget that the child is growing, and in a couple of years the structure will have to be dismantled if it now has parameters of 1.5X2.

Do you want to build a more durable house for your daughter or son with your own hands? Then you will have to make structures at least two meters high. Plus the roof. The total height of the plywood will be 2.5 meters. This is for the front part. For side walls, sheets 2 meters high are suitable.

The width of the walls will be 2.5 meters. This is quite enough to place some furniture and toys inside the house.

Materials

Before buying materials for the house, you should decide what floor it will have. Let's focus on the EU version with a wooden floor, which is suitable for an outdoor house. The floor on a small hill made of logs can also be used in the cold season. The parameters of the structure may vary, so we provide only a list of materials required for construction; you yourself will be able to more accurately determine the dimensions of sheets, doors and the length of the boards. This is quite simple to do; the design does not require complex calculations.

So, let's prepare following materials:

• four sheets of plywood;
• four logs, they will be located in the corners of the house;
• wooden logs with a width of at least 10 cm, at least six of them will be required;
• wooden boards 1.5 - 2 cm thick for making floors;
• thinner roof boards.
• boards for finishing and sealing walls;
• material for the manufacture of window frames and door frames; if the windows are glazed, wooden slats and glass will be needed;
• door on hinges.

Children's house may also have a metal roof.

You also need to take care of the lighting in the house. Then you will need a wire to connect the electric lamp. You can run it around the perimeter of the ceiling led strip, this is the most economical and safe option. It’s quite easy to do the wiring yourself; as a result, the wooden children’s house will be illuminated in the evenings, which will delight the little household.

Building a wooden house

First you need to make the floor. It will also act as a base. Due to the fact that the floor is mounted on joists, the structure can be moved from one place to another if necessary.

Instead of nails, it is better to use wood screws instead of ordinary nails: this way the structure will last longer. In this case, you will have to arm yourself with a screwdriver.

When the floor is ready, we install the frame. First - corner logs, then - boards, which will subsequently support the wooden roof. WITH external parties Plywood sheets are attached using screwdrivers. The roof is covered with boards in the same way. You can also use plywood to make it, but it will quickly lose the properties necessary to protect the house from constant exposure to water and sunlight.

On the walls we outline places for windows and doors, outline them and install frames. We install doors. We strengthen the structure by installing additional narrow boards. The best option would be to install the boards vertically on both sides of the windows. A DIY children's house can be covered with wallpaper from the inside or painted with funny pictures.

Video gallery

We used to build play structures out of chairs, pillows and blankets. So why not help the younger generation today and build a real children's house with your own hands? You can use any available materials - wood, PVC or aluminum pipes, plywood, wooden pallets or thick cardboard.

Playhouse in the apartment

Even in the room small area It is quite possible to install a small frame covered with fabric in the form of a tent or wigwam. If square meters allow, build a full-fledged wooden or plywood house in the nursery in the form of a fairy-tale hut, carriage, trailer, rocket or ship.

Wigwam house

As you know, a wigwam is a special structure consisting of several long poles connected at the top and covered with thick fabric. Such a structure can be easily disassembled and stored, moved from room to room, taken out into the fresh air, into the yard, or packed into the trunk of a car and transported to the garden plot.

And it’s not at all difficult to make such a children’s wigwam playhouse.

You can use the following as a frame:

• carefully sanded and varnished or varnished wooden slats 120 cm long and 2-4 cm thick; For installation outdoors, you can also use strong tree branches, but only if (!) even the smallest branches are cut down
• PVC water pipes
• lightweight aluminum pipes, for example, left over from old curtains

To cover a tent house, it is better to choose thick linen or cotton that allows air to pass through well. Under such an awning, children will feel comfortable and easy to breathe even on hot days.

The simplest structure is a wigwam– three poles, firmly tied at the top at a distance of 10-20 cm from the top. To make the fastening strong, it is better to connect them with bolts by drilling holes in the upper part of the frame.

The design can be slightly more complicated by making a rigid base for it from wooden slats or pipes, which will be installed on the floor. There is no need to make a crossbar from the entrance to the wigwam - children will constantly trip over it.

In principle, you can build a full-fledged tent in the shape of a quadrangle or a tent, but you will have to tinker with the frame fastenings a little longer. We'll talk about this below.

Several small pillows made of colored fabric, a mattress or a soft fluffy carpet will decorate a children's wigwam and make it more comfortable.

Tent or marquee made of PVC pipes

Craftsmen have long been using plastic water pipes not only for their intended purpose. After all, they make quite durable and comfortable garden chairs, tables and even greenhouses.

Decorate the windows of such an impromptu house with chintz curtains and lay down a rug. The outside of the home can be covered with fabric, remnants of wallpaper or colored napkins, painted with paints, decorated with appliqué, bright inflatable balloons, flags and garlands.

Let your child participate in the finishing process by handing him a brush and paints.

Plywood construction

It will take no more than a couple of days to make such a house:

1 There are a lot of drawings for making a children’s house on the Internet. You can use any of them. We will only describe the assembly principle itself.

2 The floors in the house are warm, and the house can do without them. But it’s still better to make a small elevation using wooden logs with plywood screwed to it. It will be more convenient to attach the frame to such a base, and the structure itself will be more stable.

3 We install a frame of rack-beams attached to the floor. It is better not to use nails - they may become loose. Fastening with screws will be much more reliable and durable.

4 Horizontal jumpers are screwed across the racks.

5 A block is attached between them, forming the ridge of the roof.

6 For gable roof you will need to make a pediment - wooden slats knocked down in the shape of a triangle.

7 All that remains is to sheathe the walls and roof with plywood, paint it or cover it with wallpaper.

8 The roof can also be made pitched by covering it with plywood top part buildings at a slight slope.

8 The door is made of wooden boards or only a frame is made for it, and the door itself door leaf cut from plywood. It is hung using ordinary metal hinges, which can be purchased at a furniture store.

9 You can paint or cover the house with fabric, wallpaper or bright appliqué from the inside.

10 Curvilinear figures from plywood are cut out with a jigsaw at home. If you know how and love to work with wood, make furniture for your child that he can put in his new house.

11 Plywood can even be bent if you first soak it in the bathtub. Thick sheets should lie in water for a couple of hours. For thin plywood A 10-15 minute soak is enough. The softened part is laid on the surface and secured with self-tapping screws so that during drying it takes on the desired shape.

12 Paint the plywood with regular oil or enamel paint. Don't forget to prime the surface first. In this case, the paint will lie more evenly, and much less of it will go away.

Children's house in the yard

For children living in an apartment, the dacha may seem like a boring place. To make the process of addiction go as quickly and unnoticeably as possible, take care of creating a playground and cozy house with your favorite toys.

4 The floors will need to be raised using wooden beams and floor slats - children staying in the shade on damp ground for a long time is unacceptable.

5 To prevent the tree from quickly becoming unusable, it is better to install the structure on bricks or concrete blocks. They are dug into the ground at the corners of the base on the bayonet of a shovel.

6 To obtain a durable structure, you will need polycarbonate with a thickness of 8 mm.

7 They cut its sheets with a construction knife.

8 The protective film is removed after construction is completed. Otherwise, scratches may appear on the plastic.

9 Polycarbonate can be used to make any arched structures– it bends easily, but only in length.

10 The strength of this plastic is ensured by the special structure of the sheets. They are made in the form of honeycombs (stiffening ribs). However, this also has its drawbacks - if it is not fastened correctly, water can accumulate inside. To prevent polycarbonate from darkening from moisture and losing its attractiveness, cut the sheets so that the stiffeners are positioned vertically. The ends of the sheets are covered with a special end profile to prevent moisture from entering.

11 To avoid exposure to ultraviolet radiation on the material, the sheets are fastened protective layer out. There are always inscriptions and pictograms on it.

12 If one sheet is not enough to cover the wall, dig additional support into the ground so that the joints of the sheets fall on its center.

13 When temperature changes, the material is capable of changing dimensions, so you should not place the sheets close to each other. It is necessary to leave a small technological gap. When installing, use thermal washers to help compensate for expansion.

14 When drilling holes for fasteners, make them a couple of millimeters larger than the diameter of the screws. They should not be screwed tightly, otherwise the plastic will crack during thermal expansion.

15 To make a gable roof you will need ridge element made of the same plastic. You can purchase it at hardware store. You can also protect the ridge from moisture by bending a strip of metal at the desired angle.

Wooden building

The height of such a structure depends on the height of the child. But children grow quickly, so it’s better to build with reserves.

1 A children's house made of wood does not require a foundation. To protect the wood from moisture, you can install it on a brick base. You can also use low wooden or metal piles. It will be possible to attach a slide to the porch of the house, installed on such supports and raised above the ground.

2 The floor must be strong enough and of good quality. It is better to use floorboard or plywood. They are mounted on beams. The side facing the ground is impregnated with an antiseptic.

3 A thick beam 50x50 mm thick is mounted as a frame in the corners and at the location of the windows and doors. To add rigidity to the structure, horizontal bars are attached at the top and bottom.

4 The corners are reinforced with spacer bars - bevels, the posts - with metal corners.

5 It is better to make a gable roof so that the child is not tempted to climb into it. First, gables are prepared from the bars - the end sides, shaped like a triangle. Between them there are horizontally running bars on which the lining is stuffed or plywood is attached.

6 To avoid splinters, the wood must be cleaned and sanded.

7 To ensure ventilation, sufficient lighting and ease of observation of children, several windows are made in it. They are placed 50-60 cm from the floor.

8 The height of the door should be at least 20-30 cm higher than the child’s height.

9 Near the house you can install swings, slides, sports section. For a girl, you can arrange a small flower bed with flowers, which she can take care of herself.

10 It's great if you organize Grand opening house with tea drinking, festive posters and music.

Covering light structures with heavy slate is unacceptable. After all, in the event of a collapse, the child may be injured. Use lighter polycarbonate, wood or plywood covered with soft tiles for the roof of the children's house.

Tree house

1 How to make a children's treehouse? Building such a structure is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. Of course, only a person who knows how to work with wood can create designer structures. But here is the simplest structure, consisting of support pillars and a platform, in the center of which a cutout for a tree trunk is made, even a novice carpenter can do it. The tree on which the structure will be located must be quite powerful, but not old, with strong branches. All dry branches must be removed.

2 The frame for the tree house is made of well-sanded and primed timber. To prevent the tree from rotting, it must be dried well. The cross-section of the timber is from 5 cm. It is better to use pine - it is less susceptible to rotting.

3 The connection of the supports must be as strong as possible. You should not use a regular connection with self-tapping screws - it will quickly become loose.

4 In carpentry, a special type of half-timber overlapping joints is used for these purposes. For this purpose in wooden blocks Use a hacksaw and chisel to cut out the recesses. The parts are superimposed on each other and additionally connected with bolts.

5 The wooden platform should be as stable as possible. It is made of timber and lined with plywood.

6 The roof is closed wooden slats, plywood or soft roofing.

7 It is necessary to make and ladder. To do this, you can nail several wooden blocks to the inclined board. It will be more convenient to climb such stairs.

Pallet house

Wooden pallets (pallets) are an excellent building material. Since the strong boards in them are already knocked together, you can assemble the playhouse quite quickly. Although, if desired, the pallets can be completely disassembled and only boards can be used in construction.

1 Be sure to pay attention to the markings. If the letters IPPC are marked on the pallets, this means that they have been treated with chemicals. The use of such products is highly not recommended. You should not build a children's house from painted pallets. After all, formulations containing formaldehyde are often used to process them. Better paint it already ready product yourself.

2 Several pallets need to be disassembled - we will use their thick crossbars to create a frame. To do this, remove all the nails using a nail puller. You can simply saw off the crossbars from the side boards.

3 Each of the pallets must be sanded, otherwise children will quickly pick up splinters. To do this, you can use coarse sandpaper. It is inserted into the holder for sandpaper (grater). You can also use a grinder or grinder for cleaning.

4 If the trays are dirty, they are first washed with a stiff brush.

5 First we assemble the floor. For the logs we use thick crossbars of pallets knocked together. For flooring, you can use chipboard or boards from disassembled pallets.

6 In order for a house made of pallets, assembled with your own hands, to last as long as possible, to protect it from moisture, we install it on a small elevation made of bricks buried in the ground at the corners of the building.

7 Let's start assembling the frame. Attached to assembled base the house has vertical supports - transverse boards of pallets. For this we use metal corners and screws.

House-tent made of willow branches

It is better to place a children's hut near the house so that the games take place in front of adults. Place it near a fence or in the shade of tall trees to protect the structure from drafts.

For construction, any types of branches of sufficient thickness are used:

1 First you need to decide on the shape of the hut. Long branches can be arranged in a circle in the form of a wigwam, fastening them at the top and around the perimeter with strong twine.

2 A classic gable hut made of branches is made as follows. At the selected location, two strong thick poles are driven into the ground, the end of which is forked in the upper part in the form of a spear.

4 A support pole is placed horizontally in the oarlocks of the rods and secured with a rope.

5 It is better not to use wire for fastening. You will need quite a lot of it, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to bend all its ends perfectly so that the child does not accidentally get hurt. It is better to take polypropylene twine or thick cotton twine.

6 Thinner poles are laid on the support at an angle of 45-60 degrees, first on one and then the other side of the hut. For strength, they are also held together with twine.

7 Vertical ones can be tied across the horizontal slingshots, thus forming a lattice.

8 Spruce branches (spruce branches) or hay are laid on top of the roof. To prevent rain from getting inside, laying begins from the bottom so that the next layer covers the previous one.

9 To protect from the wind, stones are placed around the perimeter of the hut and covered with earth.

Decoration methods

Having decided on the design features, you need to decide what the dimensions of the children's playhouse will be. If you are unable to select large area for organization play area, make a small building, freeing it from unnecessary internal elements, so that children can move freely and not be injured.

If the dacha plot is large, build a spacious house. His inner space can be divided into several zones. A large group of children can play in such a house.

An important parameter is the height of the building, because staying in the house should be comfortable for both small children and taller and older children. The higher you make the building, the better.

It's a good idea to create areas where walls can be climbed by placing mats on the floor to ensure children's safety. If the structure is planned to be built from wood, it is better to discuss its parameters with professionals.

You also need to choose a suitable design for a country house designed for children to spend time in the fresh air: the structure can be as open type, and closed. Open outbuildings are combined with an outdoor play area; they are usually equipped with walls on one or two or three sides.

Closed buildings are designed with walls on all sides. They may have windows and even small balconies, there are also completely isolated structures.

Do-it-yourself children's cottage for a summer residence: photos and ideas from improvised means

Recommendation: optimal solution- make a children's house with at least two windows. Availability window openings will provide good lighting inside the house in daytime and will give adults the opportunity to look after the children.

A self-designed children's house on a summer cottage can be either stationary or mobile. The mobile structure can be moved to different areas on the site, taking into account existing conditions or guided by the possibility of observing children's games, for example, from a country cottage.

It is best to make windows 60 centimeters high, and doorways about 25 centimeters taller than children. The height of the door openings can reach the ceiling, so that not only children, but also adults can enter the house.

If you are building garden house, placed on a tree, you need to decide where exactly it is best to construct it. It is necessary to take into account the growth characteristics of the branches, the size of the tree and its age.

You shouldn't build a treehouse for children coniferous species: their branches practically do not transmit light rays. It is best to design a house in the lower part of the crown; in this case, the height of the building from the ground surface will increase simultaneously with the growth of the tree.

You should also decide in advance how you will decorate the house. For example, you can decorate it with children’s drawings if the building is located on the ground. Or paint the facade and walls from the inside in different colors. Involve children in choosing colors.

Many summer residents, when planning, intend to build at least a small children's house with their own hands, so that the little owners have something to do and a place to play. summer time. That is why we decided to write an article where we describe in detail the process of creating this small building on the site.

In our case, the height of the ridge of the building will be 90 centimeters, and general dimensions will be limited the following indicators– 160x160x140 centimeters. To build a children's house you will need the following tools and materials:

• Screws with nails;
• 4 foundation blocks;
• Dye;
• 4 floorboards;
• Edged board;
• Lining;
• 6 beam holders;
• Mounting corners;
• 11 bars for creating the floor and 5 for the roof;
• Carved platbands;
• Furniture board.

Work order

• Assembling the floor frame. The first step is to lay the foundation of the future structure, followed by reinforcement with metal corners and diagonal alignment.

• Definition with a site. You should choose level place. If there is none, then you will have to first level the area for construction. On the site, using a frame, it is necessary to mark four corner points, which will become markings for placing the foundation blocks.
• Adding stability to the base. Before laying out the frame of the house, follow the surface sand cushion place four foundation blocks to a depth of no more than one spade bayonet. After this, a waterproofing material is laid between the frame and the base.

• Execution of the floor. The next step is to completely cover the frame with boards, thus obtaining a flat surface.

• Processing the bottom side. After the floor has been assembled, it is necessary to treat outer surface boards, that is, the one that will subsequently adhere to the ground. Next, you can begin to build walls, insert doors and windows.

Important point! To build a children's house with your own hands, you should only select jointed materials. This way, children will not get injured or get splinters while playing. small building. For the same purpose, it makes sense to chamfer the corners.

• Rafters. First of all, on work surface preliminary markings are drawn. Afterwards, bait is applied using temporary nails. The next step is to secure the rafter and seal all the joints with corners. At the end the nails are removed.
• Fastening the rafters. To install exactly plumb, 3 rafters should be placed on the frame, supporting them with an inclined support. The walls of the future children's house will be attached to the frame with metal holders.

• Wall cladding. A self-assembled frame can be sheathed different materials, however, lining is most often used for this.

• Roof assembly. Starting from the ridge, the roof of the house is sheathed with carved boards on both sides. You can lay ondulin on top of it, which can be quite easily cut to size using a grinder.

• Exterior decoration. Having finished building a children's house, do not stop there - decorate the appearance of the new building for the child, making the structure more elegant and beautiful. To do this, you can embellish the corners of the building with figured corners, and the doors, windows and ends with carved platbands.

• Interior. You should not lose attention by placing, for example, a small bench or table inside.

Children's house on poles

You can easily build a playhouse for a child on your own at your summer cottage, right in front of your home. One of the most common options is a do-it-yourself building on poles.

Instructions for work

Of course, the new structure on the site will not be very heavy, and therefore there is no need to build a foundation for it. However, some kind of foundation will still be required even for a children's structure. In our case it is best to use wooden beam 100 by 100 millimeters. You can fasten the timber together using steel corners.

The next step is to place the supports that will hold the top floor of the children's house. For this purpose, it is worth using boards with a thickness and width of 30 and 80 millimeters, respectively. For fastening, jumpers will be useful, which will simultaneously hold the boards of the 2nd floor.

Along with this, they are installed wooden supports, they will begin to fulfill the role supporting structures for the stairs. A wooden floor is installed.

Expert advice! To ensure that the ceiling of the future structure can support a heavy load, it is recommended to place the boards with the edges down.

It is best if the supports of the building are placed not just anywhere, but on a paving slab surface.

To prevent children from getting hurt while playing, it is worth installing balusters with railings on the stairs.

At the top, the supports must be fixed to each other. Jumpers should be used to secure the wall frame.

You can sheathe the walls using ordinary boards; for the roof it is recommended to use plywood.

For greater safety and to avoid injuries to children, before building a children's house, you should sand all the timber yourself. In addition, it is better if you inspect all the boards in advance for chips, cracks and breaks in order to minimize the risk of splinters during the operation of the building.

Almost any modern soft roof can be used for the roof.

In addition to the main entrance, it would not be amiss to include in the design of the house for children a “black” or simply an emergency exit. For this purpose, you can make a small hole in the floor of the structure where the rope will be pulled. Undoubtedly, the guys will appreciate this decision!

Towards the end are held Finishing work, for which various decorative elements and multi-colored dyeing materials.

Finally, between the pillars, under the first floor, you can create a sandbox.

Master class on creating a house with your own hands

First option

For work you will need the following materials:

1. Wooden corners.
2. Edged board.
3. Tongue and groove board for creating a floor.
4. Nails.
5. Metal mounting brackets.
6. A block for the frame with a section of 45 by 45 centimeters.
7. "Biotex".
8. "Block house".

Before you start creating a children's house with your own hands, you need to draw up a drawing future design. In our case, the building will contain one single room with a doorway and a window and a small veranda.

As you know, any construction work begins with grounds, which will simultaneously play the role of gender. Three joists are connected together with tongue and groove boards using tongue-and-groove fastenings and nails.

After this, the frame of the new building is made from timber. Do not forget that to fasten the bars you should use metal corners.

To prevent the material from being damaged and spoiling its appearance during the process of attaching the “Block House”, it is necessary to use scraps and a hammer.

Wall cladding should be done based on the location of the doorway and windows.

Corners on the street side are covered with wooden corners.

Used for roof edged boards, which are fixed on each side with nails. It is recommended to make the flooring from bitumen shingles.

After you have completely built a children's house with your own hands, it is necessary to treat the walls, floor and roof of the structure with biotex. This composition will not only give the surfaces the desired color, but will also further protect the building structure from negative impact rain and sun.

Like last time, shelves, a table and benches are made inside the room.

Thus, with our own hands, without the help of specialists and additional costs, we will get a beautiful and reliable children's house, which your children will certainly appreciate.

Second option

In the second case, to build a house you will need the following components and materials:

1. Thin boards.
2. Ruberoid.
3. Six wooden boards 2.4 by 1.8 meters.
4. Set of screws.
5. Bars of various sections.
6. Stain.

It is recommended to lay the foundation using crushed stone whenever possible. An alternative is to simply level the ground beneath the new structure. Next, the bars with a section size of 10 by 10 centimeters must be cut into equal parts, and then placed with a step between the posts of 1.4-1.5 meters.

The support bars should be placed under the posts in the soil, this way we will eliminate the process of rotting the floor in the future. We place bars of 5 by 10 cm in cross-section between the rack and the panel, which will later become hollow. Fixation of the beams is achieved using screws. Any voids between the joists should be filled with earth.

The next step is to cut wooden panels into equal parts, and then lay them out in a strictly horizontal position. Fastening is achieved through timber.

In order for the flooring to be as smooth as possible, the panels should be laid with a small margin, and then saw off the excess parts.

Next comes work on creating the side panels. In this case, you should initially mark, leaving at least a 6-centimeter margin on each side in width. As for the height of the wall for a children's playhouse, 1.5-meter panels can be made as an example.

In the process of assembling walls with your own hands, you should not forget about door and window openings, which are also created based on pre-made markings. In our case, the door dimensions will be 0.6 by 1.2 meters.

Internal and external panels are varnished. After the flooring is well fixed, the walls are attached to it using screws. A board with a sectional size of 10 by 5 centimeters is placed with a slight protrusion beyond the edge on the side.

As soon as new wall will be placed in place, its installation must be checked using a level. Only after making sure that the location is correct can you move on to the next wall!

The next step is to construct a roof, which is finally covered with a layer of roofing material. To cover gaps that may accidentally form between the panels, you should use a wide ridge.

For greater beauty, you can create shutters on the windows or assemble them yourself small porch in front of the house.

At this point, the children's building will be ready.

Overhead building with stairs and slide

An interesting option would be a children's house built on dacha area on a hill. In this case, the following materials and products may be required:

1. Dye.
2. Ladder.
3. Chipboards.
4. Sand and cement for the base.
5. Slide.
6. Wooden bars for piles.
7. Screws and nails.

This version of the structure will be built mainly thanks to a tongue-and-groove connection, which will allow, if necessary, to dismantle the building, for example, for the winter.

The frame of the house is assembled in the same way as shown in the photo below.

If you are going to make shutters on a window opening, you should buy hinged hinges in the store in advance.

The railings under the porch are being assembled. For this purpose, small holes are made in the bars with a certain pitch, with a depth of no more than half the bar.

The slats should be tried on together with the drilled recesses. After making sure that the slats fit well, they should be removed for a while and secured with nails for greater ease of painting work.

The most important point in the construction of any structure is laying the foundation. The children's playhouse is no exception! In our case, it is necessary to dig 4 holes under the building piles, the depth of which will be approximately one meter. Next, the supports are poured cement mixture, after which it remains to wait for final drying.

It is important to emphasize that the deeper the piles are placed in the soil, the more reliable the finished structure of the house will be, negating the risk of collapse and mobility of the children's building.
