Fathers and their sons and daughters have been building outdoor wood projects together before any of us were even around. It's become an abiding activity in our culture that I hope doesn't disappear any time soon. All the plans hosted here can help with those projects, but there's something special about the Large Loft Clubhouse Plan.

A re-imagined version of our Secret Clubhouse concept, this plan features a timeless design that looks like it could have been built 100 years ago or yesterday. A slopping shed roof, 2nd story loft with a trap door and ship ladder, spacey 1st floor porch, 2nd story balcony with yet another trap door and ladder, combined with an overall simple architecture makes for a great project the whole family will love to participate in!

A true design that makes it hard to tell where a child's and adult's ideas drift apart. Download and start building today!
