If you're looking for a fantastic mix of both a playhouse and backyard playset, the Playground Playhouse plans are the designs you need to build! Choose between the Standard (10x12) Deluxe (16x14) and Supreme (24x24) sizes. There are tons of opportunities to add many cool accessories and keep kid's highly engaged for a long time.

Coming in between 120ft² - 275ft² of upper play space, 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 6' x 6' (Standard) or 6' x 8' (Deluxe & Supreme) footprint with 6 windows, gable roof and a rear exit down to the ground.  The Standard & Supreme designs also have awings for added shade and protection during play time.

Don't forget to also check out our toddler playground playhouse plan for the younger kiddos too!
