If a child has nowhere to play and is bored at the dacha, a children's house made of wood can solve the problem. Children are much less demanding than adults. Even the simplest house - no more than a hut made of wooden slats covered with fabric - can become a wonderful place for them to play. What can we say about more complex structures- located on a tree, looking like wonderful forest huts, with a built-in slide, or even imitating a pirate frigate. Everything will be discussed in more detail later in the article.

Why wood: pros and cons

Of course, in order to make a house for a child, you can use the most different materials- from plastic to real brick. But wood has a number of specific advantages, some of which other materials lack. This:

Besides, the tree is purely meaningful the best way Suitable for realizing some ideas. For example, it would be strange to make a fairy-tale hut out of plastic, but it would be impossible to assemble an alien ship out of brick. In addition, if you have a summer house and connections with neighbors, you can find a tree at a low price.

There are also disadvantages:

• Need for care. Every year the house will have to be painted or varnished again so that nothing happens to it.
• The need for careful processing. To prevent the child from getting a chance to splinter his hand, you need to carefully check all the boards and sand them if necessary.

A tree that is not cared for quickly begins to rot or dry out. But if you are willing to treat it every spring, it will last a long time.

To further increase this period, you can make a house from one of the most common rocks in construction:

• Pine. Among coniferous species- the best one you can choose. She has a gentle golden color, faint resinous odor. In the first years it will not need treatment, since due to the high resin content in the wood it does not rot. May have a positive effect on the condition of the child’s respiratory organs.
• Oak or beech. Wood of a dark, noble shade, which, due to tannins, does not absorb moisture well and therefore resists well external environment. Pliable, amenable to processing - it can be given any shape if it is bent correctly during drying.

You can also use an apple tree, but first you need to make sure that its wood is completely dry - during drying it cracks and changes shape. There is no point in processing it until it is completely dry.

You should not buy wood for your house that does not meet the standards - it is unsafe and will also greatly affect its appearance.

No need to take boards that have:

• cracks- this means that they are overdried and will quickly crack further;
• green spots- this is mold or rot, which means the boards will quickly fail;
• protruding knots- it’s ugly, and the child can get caught during play;
• resin filled cavities- it will have to be pumped out, otherwise the board will be fragile.

Ideally, the wood should be of uniform color, without any admixture of shades, without large knots, without stains, and without minor defects. Then it can be used for the house without fear.

What types of wooden houses are there?

Children's houses can differ greatly from each other - several different categories can be distinguished at once.

The first one is by number of floors:

• Single-tier. It is easier to make such a design, since you do not need to calculate whether the pillars will withstand the second tier, or whether it will be dangerous for a child to be on it. But they usually look less impressive, you can’t attach a slide to them, and you can’t satisfy the kids’ endless love for climbing. However, if you approach the design correctly, the result can still be noteworthy.
• Bunk. Such houses look more interesting, plus you can attach a slide, ladder or even a rope to them, along which the children can go down. They require precision and accuracy - if you don’t calculate it, the pillars simply won’t hold up, the second tier will collapse, and it’s good if no one is on it at that moment.

You can, of course, show creativity and build a three-story house for your children, but usually such an idea is abandoned - it is costly in terms of materials, labor, and more difficult to calculate.

The second is by design:

• Open. These are, in fact, small gazebos that are relevant in the southern regions, where in the summer indoors children will suffer too much from the heat. They are made either in the form of a hut, or in the form of columns that support the roof, and themselves are connected wooden lattice. As a result, there is a shelter, but it is cozy and cool. And if you want privacy, the child can always hang fabric between the posts.
• Half open. Such houses have one or two walls, and the rest are posts with lattice, like in a gazebo. On the one hand, they are not too stuffy, on the other hand, the child will not be harmed by the rain if it comes, and it is more convenient for him to hide from the sun.
• Closed. If you make two windows and keep them open, you can even be inside in the heat - especially if you place the house under the trees, in the shade. It is this variety that most structures belong to - castles, huts, ships, houses in a certain style.

Third - by placement:

• On fresh air. In the courtyard of a private house or in a country house, so that the child can spend more time outside - this is good for health.
• Inside. Usually in an apartment, for those who do not have a dacha or a private house. Such a house cannot be two-tiered and does not require laying a foundation, but it can become an excellent playground.

Fourth - in terms of mobility:

• Mobile. These are structures that can be assembled and moved to another location if desired. Typically these include plastic huts, but huts on wooden slats can also be easily rearranged.
• Stationary. They stand in one place for several years - most of the wooden structures belong to them.

What the house you build will be like depends solely on your imagination and the tastes of the child.

Advice

If you are going to build a structure at your dacha where you only spend weekends, you would be better suited mobile open house, which you can collect and put away while you are away. And if you live in a private house, then it makes more sense to make a stationary one - the child can play in it even in winter.

How to build a house?

You need to approach construction carefully, without haste. There is no need to rush, and the quality of the result depends on how much effort you put in, how much time you spend on calculations, how well you select the material.

Preliminary work

For a house to last for a long time, you need to lay the foundation from the very beginning. There are rules for this:

• Without a drawing - nowhere. Finished drawing You can find it on the Internet, or you can do it yourself. Imagine what your dream design looks like. What size should it be to make it comfortable for the child, and how to achieve this. The easiest way is to make a drawing as usual wooden box- and this is exactly what you can do to begin with. Then, once you understand the principle, you can do something more complex.
• Height. In order for the child to be comfortable, the structure must be thirty centimeters higher than his height so that he can stand up. In fact, this rule is inaccurate - children grow quickly, and soon the ceilings will become in the way. Therefore, it is better to take a universal height of sixty meters - although if you suspect that even a teenager will not get tired of the house, then you can take two.

• Width with length. The area of ​​the house should be such that the child can turn around in it normally. Usually this is one and a half by one and a half - in such an area you can seat toys, put a table, and play board games. But less is possible.
• Accommodation. Right place for a house - in the shade, but not too close to the trees, otherwise they may begin to touch it. It is also advisable that it is convenient for you to keep an eye on your playing children from anywhere in the house and garden, and that no large-scale changes are planned in its place.
• Foundation area. Must be clean and even. If there is no such thing in the garden, you can make it yourself by removing upper layer soil, leveling with the same shovel.

And, of course, you need to stock up on materials.

For the simplest hut this is:

• several (from five) slats of the same length;
• strong twine;
• fabric measuring approximately two by one and a half meters plus nails.

For a single-tier structure you will need, of course, more:

You will also need nails, screws, mounting angles, along with tools that can be used to secure them.

As for the rest, it’s just neatness along with a willingness to redo it if anything happens.

Direct construction

To make a hut - and they haven’t come up with anything simpler yet - you don’t need that much effort:

• slats are dug into the ground in a circle with a radius of about a meter;
• the ends of the slats are tied together with twine;
• The fabric is attached to the top - first to one strip with nails, then to the next, and so on until two adjacent strips remain.

It’s somewhat more difficult with a real single-tier structure - it won’t be possible to build it in half an hour. Although you also need to act consistently:

• fold the base beams into a square, fasten them with corners, plus attach a separate beam in the middle with them;
• dig four holes in the selected location foundation blocks and lay them down;
• put a frame on top, cover it with boards to form a floor;
• attach wall beams to the frame - four at the corners, two where there will be windows and doors, one on the remaining free wall, fasten a frame similar to the foundation one on top;
• make rafters - connect two bars each with special corners at an acute angle, attach them to the wall frame;
• cover everything with panel sheets - from the walls to the roof;
• hang a pre-prepared door and windows.

Of course, in the details the process is much more complicated, but its main stages look exactly like this. The result is a simple house that needs to be furnished to look good.

Decor

For registration children's house you need to approach it with imagination. It should be bright, interesting even in appearance, but at the same time not lacking in taste.

Ready ideas

Of course, you don’t have to take what someone else has already come up with before you. But you can always use other people's ideas for inspiration. So, a children's wooden house can look very different.

The first solution is like a fairytale hut.

• Exterior design. The walls are finished so that it seems as if they are made of logs (imitation can be used for this). The door is squat, also made of logs, but vertical. The roof is gable, with a carved canopy and trim in the shape of a cockerel. The shutters are carved and can be closed if desired. Colors - natural wood, bright red, bright yellow.
• Interior decoration . The walls are made of the same logs, the floor is wooden, there is a homespun (at least in appearance) carpet on it - it is comfortable and soft for children to play on. In the corner there is a small whitewashed brick stove, in which, of course, you can’t really bake anything, but you can play the same Kolobok perfectly.
• Interior decoration. They sit on the walls of the shop. There is a table in the middle - you can put it on it Board games, construction set, sandwiches brought from the big house. In the corner there is a traditional chest with toys in it, and a lock can be hung on the lid. Hang bunches of herbs, beads, and dried flowers from the ceiling. A Russian rag or straw doll will look good.

Of course, children will quickly turn a thoughtful design into something of their own - they will play with a doll, spill something on the table, litter the carpet with toys - but the general atmosphere will still be visible.

The second is the Sultan's gazebo.

• Exterior design. There are no walls - instead there are four pillars, wicker wooden mesh, which looks intricate and interesting (instead of wood, you can take metal). The roof is pointed, if you have enough skill - in the shape of an elegant onion. There is an arch instead of a door. It will be beautiful if grapes or other similar plants trail along the mesh. Colors - wood, red, blue, white, gold.
• Interior decoration. Wooden floor, no carpet. There is a fabric attached to the ceiling - if it gets hot or you want to hide, it can be stretched by closing the mesh.
• Interior decoration. Lots of colorful pillows on the floor, a low table that not only adds to the ambiance, but is also comfortable for children. An intricate iron candlestick with a real candle - of course, lit only in the presence of adults. A dream catcher or wind chime hangs from the ceiling.

If children do not have allergies, you can put a stand for incense sticks - in the fresh air their smell will not be suffocating, but pleasant.

The third is a pirate ship.

• Exterior design. The walls follow the shape pirate ship, instead of a roof, there is actually a deck. Can be done an ordinary door, Can i - round hatch in the roof, like on a real ship. Then the child will need to climb the rope ladder to the deck and go down through the hatch. Such exercises are useful for coordination, but if the child is clumsy, it is better to avoid them.
• Interior decoration. The floor is made of wood, the walls too, the round portholes are not curtained with anything. There are benches or hammocks along the walls where you can lie down, read, and swing. You can put a table, but you can do without it.
• Interior decoration. Required - accessories marine theme. Encyclopedia with ships. A rope on which you can learn to tie knots. A compass that can be used to determine directions. You could even give everyone who boards the ship an eye patch to make it easier to play pirates.

Fourth - a house in a European style.

• Exterior design. Paint the walls, make the door paneled and beautiful. The windows are simple, with rectangular shutters. In front of the entrance, you can set up flower beds that children can care for if they want. Colors - pastel, with bright accents on the roof and doors.
• Interior decoration. Cover the walls with simple wallpaper, leave the floor wooden, and whitewash the ceiling. You can put a carpet to make it more comfortable.
• Interior decoration. Be sure to have a vase of flowers and a small sofa child size. You can make an imitation of a fireplace, you can put a bookcase. Plush toys, table with tea set. Nothing superfluous, nothing flashy.

This solution is suitable only for calm, introverted children - this is worth taking into account. It’s not interesting to play active games in such a house, but it’s quite interesting to play something economical.

Advice

When building a house, be sure to use the help of a child. Discuss with him what he wants to see. Invite them to participate in the creation of the sketch. Even if the child is only four years old, he will be the one who will benefit from the result, which means his opinion is also important.

Additional nuances

To make your house look even better, you can use tricks:

• Make a separate path for it. You can lay it out with stone, tiles or wooden dies - depending on how it looks overall. So, for a Russian hut, mossy stones are suitable, scattered so that you need to step widely from one to another. But for oriental motifs you need beautiful tiles.
• Plant flower beds. Not all children like to tinker with flowers, but if yours likes it, it’s quite possible to allocate him a plot near the house so that he can plant whatever he wants on it.
• Use more than just simple varnish and paint. You can paint the walls interesting drawings(for example, your favorite cartoon characters), you can draw beautiful patterns, or you can decorate them with intricate carvings. Even stained glass instead ordinary glass It will look beautiful in the window.

All yours free time children spend outside. Fresh air gives them strength, health, joyful and positive emotions. In order for the child to spend as much time as possible outdoors, it is necessary to make a children's wooden house for him. It will definitely become a favorite place where a child can hide and create his own world.

Joint construction of a building will allow you to spend time with your child fun and enthusiastically. This activity will bring a lot of positive and unforgettable impressions to any boy or girl.

Currently available in stores wide choose summer houses for children, but not everyone can afford to buy it. Creating a design with your own hands according to an individual sketch that the child came up with will be the best solution.

Important: before you start building a structure, you should take into account all the wishes of your own child.

It is necessary to register the hut in bright shades. You can draw your favorite characters from fairy tales and cartoons on the structure. The child should also be involved in this process, with the help of which he can demonstrate his talents and abilities. A house made by a child’s hands will become especially valuable to him.

What kind of wooden house can you build for a child?

The children's house is made from various materials that are accessible to every person. If there are building materials left after building a house, then you don’t have to buy anything at all. You can make children's wooden houses from chipboard, fiberboard, beams, plywood and any other wood materials.

Playhouse for children made of plywood

Before you start construction, you need to create a drawing, layout or sketch. This will allow you to evaluate the structure and determine where to place the door and windows. It is advisable to position it so that it is visible to parents, so the child will always be in sight.

The best places where a child can retire and dream are wooden children's houses, photos of which are presented here.

To create a summer hut from plywood, you will need 2-3 sheets of material. The amount of plywood used depends on the dimensions and size of the structure. The material can be used in any thickness. In the store it is sold in thicknesses of 8-12 mm. Windows should be located 60 cm from the floor, and the doorway should be 30 cm above the height of children. But do not forget about the size of the door, since an adult, if necessary, should get into it without hindrance.

The building must be large so that it is spacious and roomy. The roof is installed at a 45-degree angle. Sheets of plywood are nailed together, then window and door openings are cut out. The top is made of the same material as the walls. When the structure is erected, it is necessary to sand it with sandpaper or a special grinding machine. This will avoid splinters and skin damage.

The next stage is decorating and installing furniture.

Attention: painting of the structure must be done with child-safe enamels and varnishes.

It is advisable to decorate the hut according to the child’s wishes. Colors should be chosen bright, colorful, saturated. For a girl, the structure can be painted bright pink, as in the photo shown.

Children's house for a child made of wooden boards

The structure made of wooden planks is practically not subject to wear. Therefore, several generations of children will play in the built hut. At first, a son or daughter will manage it, and after a while - a grandson or granddaughter. For big family It’s important to build a big temporary hut so that all the guys can get involved. Video instructions for constructing a structure from boards can be viewed below.

To build the frame of the building, you will need beams with a cross section of 5 cm. The children's designer- a wooden house will be strong and durable if you treat its surface with deck varnish. For windows and doors, special inserts are made, which are placed in a vertical position. To enhance strength, the constructed frame is covered with thinner wooden planks, the thickness of which should be more than 2 cm.

The roof structure is made of timber of the same section. It should be installed on already finished walls. Thin boards from 2 cm are placed on the roof.

Warning: to prevent the roof from leaking, the roof must be reinforced with waterproofing.

On top waterproofing material You can install a plastic cap. After construction is completed, the structure is painted in a pre-selected range of colors and covered with deck varnish. The photo shows a children's building for boys.

Hut on legs for a child

Will help you find yourself in a fairyland interesting house- a hut on legs. Fairytale house May be various sizes, shapes, colors. The photo shows one of the interesting creative designs children's playhouse.

To build a hut, the legs can be made of wooden blocks, metal pipes, stones, and you can also use other decorative materials.

Important: The house is intended primarily for children, so there is no need to make the legs too high.

The height of the legs should not exceed 70 cm. In this case, it is necessary to install small stairs or several steps. If the legs are made from pipes, then the pillars should be dug into the ground 1/3 of the pipe. The base of the legs must be fixed. For example, pour concrete.

On top part Each pipe is hammered into a timber beam, to which the base of the hut is attached. The foundation can be made from planks with a cross-section of approximately 4 cm. Then a structure from the planks is constructed. The resulting frame is sheathed with thin boards, after which the roof is erected. The roof is made of the same materials as the entire structure.

The entrance to the hut on legs is equipped comfortable stairs with railings. The railings should be approximately 50 to 70 cm high. Their height is determined by the age and height of the child. The steps must be at least 20 cm so that it is convenient to climb them, and your legs fit completely in them.

A children's wooden house for a summer residence can be supplemented with an original sandbox, horizontal bars for physical exercise, a gaming complex made of gaming and sports equipment. All elements must be painted in bright colors. Nearby you can set up a flower garden or flower bed. The child will look after her and develop his talents and abilities.

Dollhouse for a child

Every child's dream is a beautiful, roomy house for his toys and dolls. Little children love to play with toys, scattering them in every corner. A do-it-yourself dollhouse solves this problem once and for all.

Any parent can build a huge house for dolls the size of a closet. To do this you need to show a little imagination and skill. Children's wooden Dollhouse can be made from chipboard or any other similar materials. To create the structure you will need a jigsaw, glue, and chipboard sheets. Anyone can build it, since the structure is so light that even a child himself can handle it.

Important: a wooden dollhouse must be made from materials that are safe for children.

The box is very easy to assemble. You can cut out small windows on the walls and glaze them with thin transparent glass, thick, multi-colored film, or use plastic bottles. By using flashlight the structure can be electrified. You can decorate a dollhouse with drawings, thin boards, stickers, laces, and ribbons. In order to make a unique house, you just need to use your imagination.

DIY dollhouse

Before starting construction, it is necessary to draw a plan or sketch of the future structure, and also think about where the windows, doors and stairs will be located. It is necessary to take into account the smallest details and wishes of your own child.

To create a multi-story cabinet for toys and dolls, you cannot do without a detailed drawing. It is easier to redo the drawing if changes occur than to disassemble the constructed structure.

Important: The size of the house must correspond to the height of the dolls and the dimensions of the toy furniture.

The house must have windows, doorways, stairs, a bathroom, and light. When equipping a house with wiring, it is necessary to consider the insulation of all cables so that they do not pose a danger.

Warning: Do not use lamps that become hot.

If electrical installation work is difficult, then you can do without lighting. Wooden children's houses for dolls decorated with colored paper, wallpaper, pieces of multi-colored fabrics. Maximum realism can be achieved with the help of curtains on the windows, paintings on the walls, and rugs. The finished building should be surrounded by a fence, and a garage, veranda, and swimming pool should be built.

After graduation construction work, it is important to make sure that there are no screws, nails or other sharp elements sticking out of it. And then wooden structure for dolls will become a favorite toy for a child.

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 coated with varnish or drying oil 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 the upper part of the building with plywood 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. Hang it 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 protect the skate from moisture by bending it under the right angle strip of metal.

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. Use better 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.

Tree house for children

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 strong enough, 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 covered with wooden slats, plywood or soft roofing.

7 It is also necessary to make an extension 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 house vertical supports– cross boards of pallets. We use for this metal corners and self-tapping 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.

10 Hay or dead wood is used as a floor. It can be covered with a thick, dense cloth or carpet to prevent children from pricking themselves on branches.

11 You will get a more durable structure if you make a frame for the hut from wooden beams. Branches are also laid on top of it, and then spruce branches.

12 If you have it at hand sufficient quantity willow branches, make a tent-shaped hut for the children. The rods of this tree bend very well, and “weaving” a house out of them will not be difficult. To work, you will need a sufficient amount of twine, which is used to fasten the willow branches.

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 in the 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 room. 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 boards 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 of the wooden floor, which is suitable for street 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, we prepare the 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 making window frames and the door frame, if the windows are glazed, wooden slats and glass will be needed;
• door on hinges.

A children's house can 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 fastened with screwdrivers plywood sheets. 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 There will be boards installed 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.

As an option for such a quiet corner, you can consider a children's house made of wood.

Children's house made of wood

Children's houses can be divided into two large groups, some are intended for children from 2 to 6 years old, others for those over 6 years old.

But building a wooden house for children with your own hands is half the battle. Another question is how to arrange it?

A house for the little ones can have very small dimensions of 1.7 * 1.7 in plan and 2.5 m in height.

Dimensions: 1.7 x 1.7 m around the perimeter and 2.5 m in height, which is quite enough for children aged 2-6 years.

The building for older children should be larger, for example, in terms of its dimensions it can be 2*3 m and its height is about 2 m.

Children are crazy about houses built on tree branches. If there is no such direct possibility, then you can simply raise it to a certain height. By the way, in this version the house can protect the logs of firewood.

When constructing an orphanage from wood, all its parts must be carefully polished. This is necessary so that its residents do not get scratched or pick up splinters. In addition, they must be coated with drying oil in at least two to three layers.

Of course, in addition to wood, it is also possible to use other materials, for example, plywood.

There is no need to order a separate project to build an orphanage. To count required quantity material, and the work will be completed with a self-made sketch. It should reflect all the main dimensions.

It is advisable to use the material that was used in the construction of the “adult” house. By the way, for an orphanage you can use waste that remains after the construction of a large house is completed. In order to build a children's wooden house with your own hands you will need:

1. Wood hacksaw;
2. Tape measure, plumb line, level, square;
3. Chisel;
4. Electric tools – drill, jigsaw, screwdriver;
5. Fasteners

For execution finishing works, can be used paints and varnishes and tools for working with them, of course, one cannot discount plywood, the thickness of which must be at least 10 mm. Directly for the construction of a house you may need 50x50 timber.

We must not forget about roofing materials, bricks, etc. In order to increase the safety of operation of such a house, it makes sense to install ready-made plastic windows and doors.

Construction of a wooden children's house with your own hands

A wooden house for children at the dacha can be built in the same sequence as for an “adult”. That is:

• arrangement of the foundation;
• construction of main walls;
• roof device.

Yes, in order to save money, you can simply paint the house, but we're talking about about the safety of children, so it makes sense to sheathe the walls sheet material, for example, plywood. This will reduce the likelihood of injury while staying in the house.

Children's playhouse safety

It makes sense to make the front door the full height of the wall. This will protect the child from getting bumps on the top jamb, and it will be easier for adults to enter. To avoid injury, the walls of the house must be lined with plywood or fiberboard. That is, they should be smooth. The roof in such a house should exclude the possibility that a child will want to climb on it.

Project plan, specifics

When drawing up a work plan, it makes sense to take into account the specifics of the orphanage. So, the distance from the floor covering to the ceiling must be at least 1500 mm. When building a house, it makes sense to install at least two windows. This approach will provide decent lighting inside. In addition, through these windows, parents will always be able to see what is happening inside and immediately intervene if necessary.

Preparing for work

For construction, it is necessary to carry out certain preparations, that is, purchase required material(timber or log), cement, boards, Decoration Materials. The volume of purchases will become clear after a design sketch has been drawn up.

Construction of the foundation

This design is lightweight and therefore there is no special need for the construction of a belt, even shallow foundation. You can get by with small columns of two or three bricks, which will be installed at the corners of the perimeter of the future house. During their installation, it is necessary to ensure that the tops of the columns are located in the same plane. As an option, you can consider making a monolithic slab.

This structure will need to be equipped if the foundation was used columnar foundation. This is necessary to evenly redistribute the load created by the house.

As a basement structure, you can use interconnected beams on which wall elements will be erected. When raising walls, one must not forget about laying a layer of waterproofing material.

If the children's house is built as a small copy of the “adult” one, then, most likely, it may need to be connected to the sewer system. To do this, you will have to lay a pipeline from the house to the entrance to the main sewer system.

It must be borne in mind that all actions related to insulating pipes, etc. must be carried out like an adult.

To create a floor, you need to install logs. If the children plan to use their house in winter time, then, most likely, you will have to equip the floor with appropriate insulation. To do this, it is necessary to perform all the necessary operations, that is, secure them from below to the joists. unedged boards, lay down vapor barrier material, insulation. On top of the subfloor, you can arrange concrete screed. It will be possible to lay the finishing coating on it later.

If a decision is made to build a house according to frame technology, then you will have to build a wall frame. For example, for a wall in which a window will be installed, the construction of a frame consisting of several beams will be required. Two at the edges, two directly in the place where the window is planned to be installed. By the way, you will need to install two horizontal bars under it. A window will then be installed in the resulting opening.

For blank walls, it is enough to install four vertical bars. If we assume that the width of the insulation mat is 600 mm, then the distance between the racks should be 10 mm less, this will allow the mat to be installed with tension and prevent the formation of cold bridges.

For a children's playhouse, it makes sense to install windows made of metal-plastic. It's just safer. It is quite difficult to make such windows yourself, so it makes sense to invite specialists who are engaged in the production and installation of such products.

Insulation can be done by everyone accessible ways. For example, using mats made of mineral wool. But you can use ecowool. This is a harmless material that does not cause allergies. When laying it, it is necessary to use specialized equipment.

It must be remembered that a staircase is a source of increased danger for both children and adults, and therefore, during its construction, it is necessary to be especially careful and it is advisable to study the documentation necessary for this case (GOST, SNiP, etc.).

As an option, you can consider a staircase made on a bowstring.

A few words in conclusion

When constructing a children's house on the territory country house You must always remember the safety of those who will use it, that is, children.

All sharp corners must be smoothed; for this you can use both manual and electric tools.
