If you're looking for a fantastic mix of both a playhouse and backyard play-set, the Playground Playhouse plans are the designs you need to build! Choose between the 16x16 Deluxe size, or the 12x8 Standard size. There are tons of opportunities to add many cool accessories and keep kid's highly engaged for a long time.

Coming in at 130 ft² or 96ft², these designs are all elevated onto a platform, allowing a large play area underneath, as well as adding the ability to add slides, ladders and other swing-set products. Included instructions in the plan are the fire pole attachment, rock-wall, ship ladder and bucket and pulley post. There's also plenty of room to add slides, cargo nets or other fun accessories!

The house portion of the plan features a 7'x5' footprint with 6 windows, gable roof and a trap door down to the ground.

Don't forget to also check out our toddler playground playhouse plan for the younger kiddos too! This plan is especially made for children 2-6 years old with it's 3' deck height and whimsical and playful design.  If your focus is more on the playhouse side, the Randy's Ranch concept is a great choice!
