Slanted Shack Playhouse Plan

Slanted or "crooked" clubhouses seem to be all the rage nowadays, and for good reason.  These birdhouse looking structures are just plain fun.  With an atypical design, slanted windows, bright colors and cool accessories, there is nothing here a kid wouldn't love.  Plus it's elevated, allowing room for a sandbox at the bottom, and a slide, rock climbing wall and ship ladder for fun access and exit.  Designed for ages 2-10, this simple, 10x12 playhouse will certainly be the talk of the town in no time.  If you're looking for something a bit smaller with the same exaggerated feel, check out Picasso's Playhouse Plan!
