Is there a princess that needs saving, a wicked witch to be wary of and woodland animals that want to frolic and cuddle?  It seems like your backyard is the perfect environment for the Enchanted Castle Playset!  Battlements, 2nd story tower, trap door and corner defense points all add to the charm.  Castles have always been a traditional playhouse theme for a long time and this 12x14 wooden fortress is sure to be a welcome addition to the genre.

Two stories, fun details and medieval inspiration, kids will fall in love this design.  This plan is right in the center size for our castle designs.  The next step larger is the Whimsical Castle playset and for a smaller, more simplistic design, choose the Fun Fortress.  Let the enchanted being!
