how to build a kids playhouse

[@Freckle-101]

Just finished my kids cubby after watching your video, thanks a lot man, wouldn’t even have known where to start without this

Boys Rule sign with a little girl who moved in and took over 😂 Excellent work and tutorial on the playhouse!

[@lucisabellatomias3699]

Amazing. I feel like a regular old housewife can build this. I am inspired. Probably need more details to pull this off but I'm tempted to go to Home Depot.

[@On_top_frrrr]

I am exactly a regular old housewife lol. With kids that need this. I headed to Lowes and bought 6 - 2x8s for the base in pressure treated exterior wood and 5 cement foundation blocks to build on instead of sitting it right on the ground since we flood. I haven't got past this stage yet bc I need to get compactable gravel. Let me know how far you get.

[@mjribes]

My question was whether I needed to use 2x4s to build a playhouse and you answered that in the first minute. Thanks mate!

[@rodneywallace2984]

I’m wanting to do an elevated cubby house. Any suggestions on what type of timber to use for the posts? I’m finding it hard to find H4 ACQ treated pine. I’ve been told to avoid CCA treated because of the arsenic. Thanks.

[@jed2055]

We bought the material and I helped the neighbour/builder to put it all together. We photographed the Bunnings model which was way over-priced and modified to suit our requirements - it turned out great. I like your veranda and the colour scheme Bill. Italians like to build - that's why we have Rome! I worked on the North Shore in Sydney and working as a liney and used to visit job sites of two Italian mates/chippies who pooled their resources and build really nice homes and sold them for a motza. They didn't just build quick n nasties though - everything they did was quality work. It's in the Italian dna ;-))

Nice workmanship, notice your fence and was interested in the style name? Is it a hunter green?

[@billshowto]

It’s a colorbond fence which is very common here in Australia. The color is cottage green 👍

[@Preen59]

Great work dude. My Mrs wants me to knock up a cubby like this. I'll probably draw it all so I can get a cut list and BOM etc. Once I get to it (soon) I can send you the drawings if you like. I also have some other stuff like a Pickler Triangle etc if you want that too. 🤓

[@lucisabellatomias3699]

Hi again. I hope you dont mind my questions. At 5:25, the spare cuts of timber you used as chocks to provide extra support in attaching the roof pitch, what angle did you cut those. I understand that the roof pitch angle is 22.5 degrees. But the angle for the space where the roof meets the wall frame, I'm having a hard time figuring that out as my 22.5 degrees cuts did not fit that space perfectly like yours did. Please advise. Thank you.

I was wondering the same question too.

[@joshbuckley990]

Stupid question - did you utilise structural beams for the walls, or non-structural beams?

[@timmcgivern9680]

Hi Bill, did you run the cladding all the way to the bottom of the walls, i.e. past the line of merbau you can see before you paint? Cheers

[@billshowto]

Hi, the cladding goes all the way down to the base ( past the merbau)

Which brad nailer do you have? Im having difficulty finding one for 3" nails.

[@billshowto]

Brad nailer was ryobi however I haven’t used or seen 3 inch on the brad nailer. For 3 inch nails I’m using the dewalt framing nailer

[@lucisabellatomias3699]

Thank you.

Hi, just wondering how do I cut the small wedge that sits in between the top plate and roof rafter?

thanks heaps. this is great. 22.5

[@jackyoung508]

Can you use Bugle screws for the frames instead of using a nail gun?

[@UnpaidMoneyMike]

What's the nail gun your using? Looking at getting DeWalt but not sure if I should go framing nailer or finishing nailer. What would you recommend?

[@billshowto]

For this project I used the dewalt framing nailer and the Ryobi finish nailer. I have since switch both over to Milwaukee. Which one to buy will depend on what you intend to use it for?

[@UnpaidMoneyMike]

@@billshowto thanks mate, probably go the DeWalt as I am already kitted out with them for years. Just wanted to make sure I got the framing right, want to build good quality with the right tools. Though the Milwaukee gear is getting more popular. Cheers

[@ajarts1675]

can you tell us, ruffly how much this cost all together??? thx

[@billshowto]

Roughly $1200 Australian dollars. Much a cheaper, better build and better materials than buying a pre made one👍

[@ELQUITO12]

Just go to construction sites and ask them for left overwood and you can save a lot of money.

[@franciscodelcarmen277]

Hey man really enjoyed watching your video around how much money was invested here?

[@VinhMediaworks]

Can i use only the Ryobi bradnailer for the whole project like this, many thanks and great how-to video #billshowto

[@billshowto]

No, the brad nails are not strong enough to support the frame 👍

[@VinhMediaworks]

@@billshowto just one more question, am a real dummy to this. What type of nail you use with the Dewalt tool to create the frame. Many thanks #billshowto

Hey Bill, you have pieces of timber angles into the top and bottom corners of the front and back frames. What are these for and are the angle cut to fit snug or just square cut and sat in place.

Hi , these were supports to help stop the frame from moving while I fixed everything into place. You don’t need them , I just left them in there 👍

Hi Bill, in terms if the merbau floor boards, did you leave a gap between them for expansion or are they butted up against each other? Cheers

Hi, Great video! You said that the base was made of 70x35mm timber was the frame also made with this?

That’s correct 👍

[@timmcgivern9680]

Hi Bill, looks awesome, just wondering what you used for the tongue and grove cladding (most of what I have seen at bunnings seems to be for internal use)? Cheers

[@billshowto]

Hi Tim, that’s correct the cladding (lining) I used is recommended for indoor use as it come untreated and also with no primer. All I did was use a good exterior paint ( which was a paint and primer in one ) to protect the timber. I used dulux weathershield. Hope this helps 👍

[@queenmartinez20]

Hi single mom here and trying to make this!! Could and would you email me list of what’s needed and measurements.I did watch but want to make sure I’m getting everything please and thank you!

[@nickpaul2988]

super explanation thank you !

[@timmcgivern9680]

Hi Bill, what did you use to attach the ridge cap to the roof and did this go through into the wood you had running the length (i think you called them roof rails)? I have been building this and just about done but my roof rails will be just outside where the ridge cap sits. Thanks

[@billshowto]

Hi the ridge cap can be screwed straight into the roof sheets 👍
