Are you looking for a classic playhouse design that will blend in beautifully anywhere on your property? The Backyard Garden Playhouse Plan is crafted four toddler and younger aged children and takes that timeless approach to provide something truly magical.

Following the same prestige of the Colonial inspired White Picket Fence Playhouse, this plan lowers the overall footprint and yields a charming and inviting display your child will adore. Headlining a front porch with a picket fence, gable roof and window openings that can accept real glass panes, this is a project your family is sure to love. This model also includes an interior loft and ship ladder access.
