Slanted or "crooked" clubhouses seem to be all the rage nowadays, and for good reason.  These kooky birdhouse looking structures are just plain fun.  With an atypical design, slanted windows, bright colors and cool accessories, there is nothing here a kid wouldn't love.  Plus it's elevated, allowing room for a sandbox at the bottom, and a slide, rock climbing wall and ship ladder for fun access and exit.

Designed for ages 3-10, this simple, 10x12 playhouse will certainly be the talk of the town in no time. Speaking of towns,If you have a zany community in mind, our hourglass and wavy style houses will fit in perfectly.  Download this plan and start building this weekend!

The kids LOVE it!

I found these plans to be exceptional and easy to follow. The material list was very complete and easy to adjust for customizations. I ordered plans for the smaller building and found that the octagonal window was the incorrect size on the material list. Otherwise flawless build!

Paul's plans are amazing!

I was hesitant at first, not just about buying plans online, but about my ability to read and interpret plans for such a cool-looking playhouse. Paul's plans are amazing! His detailed, computer-generated illustrations are straight-forward and easy to read, plus, this is not your typical playhouse--it's shape and structure is so unique. My kids love it! It is thanks to Paul's plans that I had the confidence to start and finish this project. Justin V. -Richardson, Texas
