Looking to add a splash of whimsy to your backyard? The Slanted Shack Playhouse Plan from Paul’s Playhouses is a quirky, off-kilter design that brings imagination to life with its fun, slanted roof and colorful charm. Whether your kids dream of a crooked cottage or a pirate hideout, this playhouse invites endless creativity and outdoor play.

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
