Welcome to the Twin Peaks Playset Plan, an imaginative "dueling" playhouse design that offers two fun options. The standard plan features a single two level tower with a charming gable roof, perfect for solo adventurers or smaller backyards. For even more fun, upgrade to the deluxe version, which includes two towers connected by a second-level bridge that's ideal for siblings or friends who want their own kingdoms with a secret passage in between.
Every version encourages creativity and active play. Each tower has open bays and numerous windows, allowing sunlight and fresh air to flood the space. The bridge between towers doubles as a swing hanging spot underneath, and the side decks are perfect for adding accessories like slides, climbing ropes, rock walls, or cargo nets. This thoughtful layout is easy to build and highly customizable, making it a backyard playset that brings architecture, adventure, and endless fun together in one delightful package.
