From the point of view of psychologists, every person and especially children need their own territory. It is not for nothing that they have a craving for the construction of huts, halabuds, bases and other buildings from any suitable and not very materials. If you have your own yard or a child spends a lot of time in the country, build him a children's house. The easiest way is using frame technology. Examples of building wooden playhouses for summer cottages in photo reports.
Playhouse for a summer residence with a sandbox below
We bring the brought timber 100 * 100 mm to smoothness. You can use a planer, you can use a drill with a fixed skin. First with large grains, then with small grains. After processing from decay protective composition, paint. While the pillars are drying, we drill holes (we have a diameter of 23 cm, a depth of 60 cm). In them we fall asleep to the bottom near a shovel of rubble. We put the pillars, set them vertically, fill them with rubble, compact, concrete.
We cut the exposed pillars all in one level. From above we fix the same beam 100 * 100 mm. It is also carefully processed: so that there are no splinters. We connect in half a tree: at the ends we cut out notches in half the thickness of the timber. For a 100 * 100 mm beam, cutouts 50 mm deep and 100-100 mm in area: so that the sawn edge of the other beam lies exactly in the same way.
We fix the top beam. Three collected, while the fourth lies.
We fasten securely: on top of 2 long nails (200 mm), on the sides of the corners on self-tapping screws.
We attach an additional beam along the long side. Under it in the middle - above the rack - we cut a notch also for half the thickness of the beam - 50 mm. No more need for wood to burst. We cut the stacked timber at the ends in the same way as those that go around the perimeter: in half a tree. It fits into the prepared gash.
The children's house should have a solid margin of safety. Therefore, we reinsure ourselves in each connection. To give the structure stability under lateral loads, we put jibs. We cut them from a bar 50 * 50 mm, cut the ends at 45 °.
We set by surprise, pressing well.
After installing the jibs, we lay the board. This will be the floor of the house.
Without an assistant - no way
We cut the flooring from the boards. It is more convenient to work with a jigsaw, but you can also use a hacksaw.
On the finished flooring, we assemble the frame of the game children's house. We use a bar 50 * 50 mm. We set the bars strictly vertically, first we fasten them with nails - two on both sides, then we strengthen them with corners on self-tapping screws (also on both sides).
We increase the rigidity of the structure by installing jibs. Then we nail the strapping of the second floor. These bars are simply nailed between the posts. They must be sawn off with great precision so that the building does not warp. We strengthen the joints with corners, after we put the jibs.
In the place where the entrance of the jib will be, we do not nail it.
Sheathed with a board left over from the packaging of equipment. You can use it from pallets, buy an inch board (12-13 mm thick), sheathe it with clapboard or imitation timber, logs, siding.
When the sheathing is almost finished, we begin to assemble the truss system. It’s easier, of course, to make a shed roof - make one wall higher and no problems. But the gable looks better, although it is more difficult to perform.
For truss system put two boards on the edge, connect at the top, sawing off the corners. The ascent depends on the desire and amount of snow. If there is a lot of snow, raise the skate higher. If not, maybe about a meter or less. We knock down with nails, then we strengthen the connection with overhead plates.
During the construction of houses, either a metal plate or a piece of board is placed here. We decided to use the board.
According to the finished sample, we mark other rafters. We cut it out, knock it down under two rafter legs at an angle (everyone should be the same as a carbon paper). Having installed on top of the house, we check the verticality. Then we nail with two nails on both sides and put the corners.
Now the battens are laid on the rafters. roofing material there will be ondulin. We put the board 11 * 100 mm in increments of 30 cm.
Based on the thickness of the board (11 mm), we take self-tapping screws 25 mm long for fastening the ondulin (so that they fit well into the board. We put rubber gaskets under the caps so that they don’t leak.
Handrail from the processed, sanded board. Screwed on powerful self-tapping screws 90 mm. Two in the lower beam - one in the sheathing board.
Railings are installed on the "veranda" of the house
At the top, the railings are connected with a beam of 30 * 30 mm. Then a board will be nailed to it - a handrail.
Railing ready for painting
At the bottom it was decided to put a sandbox. It is not difficult to assemble: eight boards on the walls, connected at the corners with the help of bars, A side board is nailed on top. Then the sandbox is painted.
Even a "non-builder" can build such a children's house with their own hands. There are no particularly difficult jobs, you can get by with an elementary tool.
Several options from the same series in the photo below. Two - houses with a slide, and one one-story option, more suitable for girls.
One-story "open" option
How to make a children's house from OSB and plywood (frame technology)
It was decided to make a house using frame technology - the base is made of boards, sheathing is made of OSB. Dimensions in plan - 3 * 2 m, wall height 1.5 m, in the ridge 2.2 m. Boards 50 * 100 mm were purchased for the frame, an inch board (100 * 12 mm) for the subfloor, OSB 9 mm for the floor and outer skin, for internal — polished plywood FSF 6 mm, styrofoam for insulation 100 mm thick.
Preparatory work - the assembly of shields for the children's house - was carried out in the garage: it was still cold. Later, as it gets warmer, the house will move to the dacha, to the place of permanent registration.
The first stage is the manufacture of the floor frame. We knock down a rectangle with sides of 3 * 2 m, nail the transverse boards (floor logs) in increments of 50 cm.
The floor will be insulated with foam. Children love to sit on the floor, so we insulate well - with 100 mm foam. Under it, from the bottom side, we fill thin strips - so as not to fall through. Insert foam. Slots can be filled with mounting foam.
It's good that the building is small. We put it on its side and hem it with an inch board from below. This will be the subfloor. After turning over, we sew up the OSB.
Later, when the house was taken to the dacha, an error was revealed OSB installation. He was nailed close. In humid air, the material swelled and the sheets bulged in some places. Therefore, when installing sheet material leave a gap of 8-10 mm.
Next, we assemble the frame of the walls. We put racks in increments of 1 meter, under windows and doors - doubled. Since the top will be stuffed with one OSB sides, on the other - plywood, the design will be rigid. We don't put jibs. They are needed if there is a children's house upholstered with clapboard or other slatted material.
Wall frame assembly
The work has been moved to the country. Three old logs were used as a foundation. They are hewn, the tops are aligned. The logs are set to the level, a board is nailed to them, on which the platform will be installed. The width of the house is 2 meters, and the logs are 3 meters long. We will decorate the rest as a terrace or porch.
The platform has been set up. It is attached to the logs with large studs that connect the log and the platform. Began to expose the frame of the walls. They must be placed exactly vertically. To fix, they used temporary cuts - they nailed them with boards on the side.
Attached to the outside (connection brackets visible in this photo)
Along the way, having exposed and checked whether the wall is level, we nail it to the platform with long nails. The length of the nail is such that it at least reaches the middle of the frame board.
Then the fittings begin: you need to correctly cut the corners under the rafter legs so that they lie flat on the boards. First, cut out approximately, gradually ensuring that there are no gaps.
Trying to "create" a rafter leg
When the shape of the cuts is clear, we transfer it to other boards with a sharpened pencil. We cut everything evenly (with a jigsaw, if any, or hand saw). Then we nail all the boards to the frame. Between the rafters we fill the transverse boards - ondulin will rest on them. It turns out such a house.
After the construction of the truss system, only the sheathing remains - inside and out. Outside we stuff OSB. We cut it so that the joints fall on the racks. We nail, you can use wood screws. Who is more comfortable.
Insulation of the house inside - mineral (basalt wool)
From above everything is nailed with plywood. And that's it. The job is done - paint and can be put into operation)))
Using the same technology, you can build a tree house. It will be necessary to fix the site, and everything else is very similar.
Drawings and diagrams
Each homemade children's house is different in size. Proceed from how many "inhabitants" are planned in it. If the child will play alone, then 1.5 * 1.5 m is more than enough. If there are two children, you already need big sizes. At least 2 * 2 m. In terms of height, also decide for yourself. But less than 1.5 m is better not to do.
House made of boards and plywood with a slide roof
Many summer residents, when planning and, are going to build at least a small children's house with their own hands, so that the little owners have something to do and where to play in the summer. That is why we decided to write an article where we describe in detail the process of creating this small building on the site.
In our case, the height of the ridge of the building will be 90 centimeters, and overall dimensions limited to the following indicators - 160x160x140 centimeters. To build a children's house you will need the following tools and materials:
- Screws with nails;
- 4 foundation blocks;
- Dye;
- 4 floorboards;
- Edged board;
- Lining;
- 6 beam holders;
- Mounting corners;
- 11 bars for creating a floor and 5 for a blood;
- Carved platbands;
- Furniture shield.
Work order
- Floor frame assembly. The first step is the foundation of the future structure, followed by reinforcement with metal corners and diagonal alignment.
- Plot Definition. You should choose level ground. If there is none, then you will first have to level the area for construction. On the site, using the frame, it is necessary to designate four corner points, which will become markings for placing foundation blocks.
- Give stability to the base. Before laying out the frame of the house, four foundation blocks should be placed on the surface of the sand cushion to a depth of no more than one shovel bayonet. After that, a waterproofing material is laid between the frame and the base.
- Floor execution. In the next step, the frame is completely sheathed with boards, thus obtaining a flat surface.
- Underside processing. After the floor is assembled, it is necessary to process the outer surface of the boards, that is, the one that will subsequently be adjacent to the ground. Then you can begin to build walls, insert doors and windows.
Important point! For the construction of a children's house with your own hands, you should select only jointed materials. Thus, children will not be injured and get splinters while playing in a small building. For the same purpose, it makes sense to chamfer the corners.
- rafters. First of all, preliminary markings are drawn on the working surface. After that, with the help of temporary nails, bait is performed. The next step is to fix the rafter, and also seal all the joints with corners. At the end, the nails are removed.
- Rafter fastening. To install exactly on a plumb line, 3 rafters should be placed on the frame, resting them with an inclined support. The walls of the future children's house will be attached to the frame with metal holders.
- wall cladding. A self-assembled frame can be sheathed different materials, however, lining is most often used for this.
- Roof assembly. Starting from the ridge, the roof of the house is sheathed with carved board on both sides. On top of it, you can lay ondulin, which is quite simply cut to size with a grinder.
- External decoration. Having finished with the construction of a children's house, you should not stop there - decorate appearance a new building for the child, making the building more elegant and beautiful. To do this, you can embellish the corners of the building with figured corners, and doors, windows and ends with carved platbands.
- Interior. Do not overlook and, placing inside, for example, a small bench or table.
Thus, you will get an almost ready-made children's house. As you can see, doing all the work with your own hands is not difficult at all. In the end, it remains just to paint the walls of the new building.
Children's house on poles
You can easily build a playhouse for a child on your own on suburban area, right in front of the house. One of the most common options is a do-it-yourself building on poles.
Instructions for work
Of course, the new construction on the site will not be very heavy, and therefore there is no need to build a foundation for it. However, some foundation is still required even for a children's structure. In our case, it is best to use a wooden bar 100 by 100 millimeters. You can fasten the beam together with steel corners.
The next step is to place the supports that will hold the top floor of the children's house. For this purpose, it is worth using boards with a thickness and width of 30 and 80 millimeters, respectively. Jumpers are useful for fastening, which will simultaneously hold the boards of the 2nd floor.
Along with this, wooden supports are installed, they will serve as support structures for the stairs. Wooden roof is installed.
Expert advice! In order for the ceiling of the future structure to be able to hold a heavy load, it is recommended to place the boards with the ribs down.
It is best if the supports of the building will be placed not just anywhere, but on paving slabs.
To prevent children from getting hurt during the game, it is worth installing balusters with railings on the stairs.
In the upper part of the support must be fixed to each other. Jumpers should be used to fasten the wall frame.
You can sheathe the walls with ordinary boards, for the roof it is recommended to use plywood.
For greater safety and to avoid injuries to children, before building a children's house, it is worth sanding all the timber with your own hands. In addition, it is better if you inspect all boards in advance for chips, cracks and breaks in order to minimize the risk of splinters during the operation of the building.
For the roof, you can use almost any modern soft.
In addition to the main entrance, it would not be superfluous to provide in the design of the house for children a "black" and simply an emergency exit. For this purpose, a small hole can be made in the floor of the structure, where the rope will be stretched. Undoubtedly, the guys will appreciate this decision!
Toward the end, finishing work is carried out, for which various decorative elements and multi-colored coloring materials are used.
Finally, between the pillars, under the first floor, you can create a sandbox.
Master class on creating a house with your own hands
First option
To work, you will need the following materials:
- Wood corners.
- Cutting board.
- Sheet piling to create a floor.
- Nails.
- Mounting brackets made of metal.
- Bar for the frame with a section of 45 by 45 centimeters.
- Biotex.
- "Block house".
Before you start creating a children's house with your own hands, you need to draw up a drawing of the future design. In our case, the building will contain a single room with a doorway and a window and a small veranda.
As you know, any construction work begins with grounds, which will simultaneously play the role of sex. Three logs are connected together with tongue-and-groove boards by fastening a tenon-groove and nails.
After that, a frame of a new building is made from a bar. Do not forget that for fastening the bars it is worth using metal corners.
So that during the process of fixing the "Block House" the material is not damaged and does not spoil its appearance, it is necessary to use scraps and a hammer.
Wall cladding should be based on the location of the doorway and windows.
Corners from the side of the street are covered with wooden corners.
Edged boards are used for the roof, which are fixed on each side with nails. The flooring is recommended to be made of bituminous tiles.
After you completely build a children's house with your own hands, it is necessary to treat the walls, floor and roof of the structure with "biotex". This composition will not only give the surfaces the desired color, but will continue to protect the structure of the building from negative impact rain and sun.
Like last time, shelves, a table and benches are made inside the room.
Thus, with our own hands, without the help of specialists and additional costs, we will get a beautiful and reliable children's house, which your children will certainly appreciate.
Second option
In the second case, the following components and materials will be required to build a house:
- Thin boards.
- Ruberoid.
- Six wooden boards 2.4 by 1.8 meters.
- Screw set.
- Bars of various sections.
- Stain.
It is recommended to lay the foundation, if possible, using crushed stone. Alternatively, you can simply level the ground under the new structure. Next, the bars with a section size of 10 by 10 centimeters must be cut into equal parts, and then placed in increments of 1.4-1.5 meters between the racks.
Support bars should be placed under the posts in the soil, so we will eliminate further process floor rotting. We place bars 5 by 10 cm in cross section between the rack and the panel, which will become the floor in the future. Fixation of the beams is achieved by screws. The existing voids between the lags should be covered with earth.
The next step is to cut the wooden panels into equal parts, and then lay them out in a strictly horizontal position. Fastening is achieved by a beam.
In order for the flooring to be as smooth as possible in the end, panels should be laid with little margin, then saw off the excess parts.
The next step is to create the sidebars. In this case, you should initially mark up, leaving at least a 6-centimeter margin on each side in width. As for the height of the wall for the children's house, 1.5-meter panels can be made as an example.
In the process of assembling walls with your own hands, one should not forget about door and window openings, which are also created based on pre-made markings. In our case, the dimensions of the door will be 0.6 by 1.2 meters.
Internal and external panels are varnished. After the flooring is well fixed, walls are attached to it with screws. A board with a section size of 10 by 5 centimeters is placed with a small protrusion over the edge on the side.
Once the new wall is in place, it must be checked with a spirit level. Only after making sure that the location is correct, you can move on to the next wall!
The next step is to build a roof, which at the end is covered with a layer of roofing material. To cover the gaps that may accidentally form between the panels, a wide ridge should be used.
For greater beauty, you can create shutters on the windows or assemble a small porch in front of the house with your own hands.
On this, the children's building will be ready.
Aboveground building with stairs and slide
An interesting option can serve as a children's house, built on a summer cottage on a hill. In this case, the following materials and products may be required:
- Dye.
- Stairs.
- chipboard.
- Sand with cement for the base.
- Slide.
- Wooden blocks for piles.
- Screws and nails.
This version of the structure will be erected for the most part thanks to the tenon-groove connection, which will allow, if necessary, to disassemble the building, for example, for the winter.
The frame of the house is assembled in the same way as shown in the photo below.
If you are going to perform shutters on window opening, then you should buy hinged loops in the store in advance.
The railing under the porch is assembled. For this purpose, small holes are made in the bars with a certain step, with a depth of no more than half the bar.
Reiki should be tried on together with drilled notches. After making sure that the slats fit well, they should be removed for a while and secured with nails for greater ease of painting work.
Most important point during the construction of any structure, the foundation is laid. The children's house is no exception! In our case, under the piles of the building, it is necessary to dig 4 holes, the depth of which will be approximately one meter. Next, the supports are poured cement mixture, after which it remains to wait for the final drying.
It is important to emphasize that the deeper the piles are placed in the soil, the more reliable it will be. finished construction at home, minimizing the risk of collapse and mobility of the children's building.
Perhaps it is difficult to meet a child who would not dream of his own little house. It can be anything - a textile tent, a wooden hut, plastic house and even a hut or wigwam. And it doesn’t matter where such structures are installed - in a summer cottage, or in an ordinary apartment - it is important that this is a personal place for the baby to play and spend free time. Such a space is very necessary for children, any child psychologist will tell you about this, especially if the house does not provide a separate children's room. The article will discuss how to make a children's house with your own hands.
It is important to satisfy the need for a personal “corner”, because only this will lead to the full development of the growing personality. Here the child should feel like a master, he himself arranges furniture or brings toys, cleans up inside, brings cleanliness and beauty. This helps to foster responsibility and also makes the baby feel safe. In addition, it is also a great place for educational games.
Children's house photo
That is, as experts say, any child needs a secluded place where he could feel confident, protected, could play, or be creative, or just relax from everything and everyone. Of course, today manufacturers of children's toys offer a wide variety of options for children's playhouses or tents. But it’s so nice to make a house on your own, all the more you can involve the future owner of this property in this work.
It remains only to create a project for a children's house and choose the materials from which the idea will be implemented.
Variety of children's playhouses
Wooden children's houses
- To date, the choice of materials is very large. Of course, wood remains in the first place. It is a natural product, environmentally safe and readily available. To work with wood, simple tools are enough - a hammer, saw, screws and nails.
- Of course, if you want to build a real masterpiece, you will need a more serious set of equipment, but in principle there is nothing complicated here and you can always do it yourself. This category also includes products such as MDF, WPV, plywood, lining and other wood-based materials. They can be combined with each other, or used independently. It all depends on where the structure is planned to be installed and how it will be used.
House made of cardboard or cardboard box
- It is easy and simple to build a house out of cardboard or a cardboard box, even children can do it. The basis can be packaging from household appliances, for example, from a refrigerator, washing machine, TV, etc. It is advisable to take thick and dense cardboard, then its strength will be higher. All structural elements - doors, windows and others are easily cut with an ordinary clerical knife and scissors. To do this procedure more accurately, it is advisable to first draw the borders.
- The roof is made from glued pieces of cardboard or one large piece, depending on the design of the house. You can glue the parts together with PVA glue or adhesive tape (it is especially important to strengthen the joints in this way so that the product does not quickly become unusable). After the design is assembled, it should be brightly and beautifully decorated. This is easy to do with ordinary gouache and a brush. If there are pieces of wallpaper left in the house, then you can beautifully paste over the walls and roof with this material.
- It is recommended to entrust the child to decorate the inner and outer parts so that he feels like a master here. True, such a structure will not differ in durability. Therefore, such a house is best kept indoors (in an apartment or house), and if used outdoors, then only in dry, calm weather. This rule also applies to the next category of materials - textiles.
Fabric children's house
- From fabric, you can build a variety of shapes for children's houses. Most simple view is a hut or tent. To create them, it is enough to come up with a base (frame) and cover it with a piece of fabric, an old bedspread or a sheet. This structure can be both stationary and collapsible, it all depends on the imagination of the master.
- Ideal for frame plastic pipes(PVC), which are used for plumbing, or thin blocks of wood. It is quite easy to purchase these products in a hardware store, their price is low. In cases of creating a wooden frame, all parts should be sanded and painted. This procedure will prevent the appearance of splinters and scratches in the child.
- It will not take much effort to make a hut, it is enough to tie 3-5 guides together by the tops (from one end), and install the structure on a solid support with the free end, straightening the guides into different sides. Then fasten fabric to them to form walls. Since the floor is not provided for in the design, it is necessary to lay a thick carpet so that children do not catch a cold when playing on the cold floor. In the summer, such a children's house can be taken out into the garden. This is a fairly mobile design that the child can move at will.
- Another option to simply build a hut is to take a gymnastic hoop as a basis or build a wire frame. Such a product should be fixed to the ceiling, or, if there is such an opportunity on the street, by a tree branch. Here it is important to cut the material correctly; with the proper approach, it is easy to make windows and doors from separate pieces of fabric. If you can’t build a frame, then you can take an ordinary table as a basis and tighten it with a cloth, like a cover, leave a place for entry, that is, make a folding canopy and the playhouse is ready. Children will be happy to spend time in such a place, especially if the table is large and there is room to turn around.
Drywall children's house
- Another material that is successfully used in the construction of structures of varying complexity is drywall. Such a house can become an adornment of any apartment, the main thing is to create a project so that it fits well into the interior. Used as a frame aluminum profiles, and wooden bars. Fasten drywall sheets to the base using self-tapping screws and a screwdriver, it is important to ensure that sharp ends hardware did not come out inside the structure, otherwise the child may accidentally get hurt.
- If a second floor and a staircase are planned in the house, then the floors should be made as strong as possible, and the steps are best done from boards, since drywall easily breaks under weight. A drywall children's house will already look like a whole room, it is allowed to put real furniture here and even hold the light. That's just on the street such a design is better not to use. Especially if the drywall is not moisture resistant and is not additionally untreated. Otherwise, all beauty will disappear literally in one season and the next one will have to build a new one. cozy house, and this is a waste of effort, time and money.
- These materials are the most common for the construction of children's playhouses, but this does not mean that this is the only possible options. Some craftsmen manage to create structures from any improvised means, for example, from plastic bottles or build a house from sandbags. In general, there would be a desire, but there will be opportunities.
DIY wooden children's house
Since it is wood structures that are the most durable, durable and safe, it is worth considering in more detail the stages of building wooden houses, and learning about the necessary set of materials and tools.
Choosing a place to build a children's house
- So, first of all, you should decide on a place for the future structure. This is especially important if a stationary house is planned, which will be located on one site. for a long time. The dream of every child is to have a tree house, but if it is not possible to completely secure this option, then it is better to avoid such a building. Children cannot sit still, they need to move, and outdoor games at high altitude can lead to injuries, which is why it is recommended to stop at a hut built on the ground. Moreover, it is this option that can be easily supplemented with a wide variety of designs, including a sandbox, a swing and even a slide.
- On the personal plot the location of the future house should be indicated. It is best if it is a quiet place where there is a slight shade from the midday sun. It is also important to keep in mind that around it is necessary to allocate additional territory for games. Such a place should not be occupied by beds or other household needs, but completely given over to children for games. This must be taken into account, first of all, not for the children themselves, but for the peace of mind of their parents, because noisy games can lead to the fact that precious plantings will simply be destroyed.
Foundation and floor preparation
- The dimensions of the building are chosen arbitrarily, for a small children's house, a length and width of 140-160 cm is sufficient, and a height of about 1-1.5 meters. The first thing to do is prepare the foundation. The base can be a platform covered with rubble, or well-packed sand and even ordinary earth.
- There are several styling options floor boards. Can be removed upper layer sod, fill the formed place with rubble, level and lay the support bars on the prepared site. Another option assumes that only the corners of the building will be on special support blocks, for example, made of cellular concrete. Such supports are laid on prepared sand cushions. That is, having marked the corners of the future building, a recess of 30-50 cm is dug in each of them. All the earth is pulled out of the pits, and sand is poured into the vacated space, which is carefully compacted. To most accurately mark the corners, you can put together the main floor frame in advance.
- Blocks are placed on the prepared sand layers at the same level. Horizontalness should be measured using a level and floor frame timber. Further, it is important to take care of the waterproofing layer, this will help the house to stand for more than one season in integrity and safety. As an insulator, roofing felt or roofing felt, as well as more expensive materials, including various mastics, are used. In addition, you can use the option in which there is free space under the floor to blow through the boards.
- The next step is to mount the frame. Blocks of the required length are stacked on foundation blocks, or on support bars (if the option with a rammed platform was chosen), and are connected into a rectangular box using corners and self-tapping screws. metal corners make the structure durable, but for greater reliability, additional transverse bars should be installed. If a large house is planned, then there will be 3-5 such struts, if the building is of modest size, then one more board in the middle is enough.
- Further, on the frame prepared in this way, the floor is laid. For the floor, you can use separate boards, wooden boards or chipboard sheets, MDF or HDF. The main thing is that they can safely withstand the weight of not only a child, but also an adult. It is recommended to use a floorboard with parameters: length 6 m, width 13.5 cm and thickness 28 mm. As a rule, 4 boards are enough for floor installation.
- Another rule in the construction of any structures made of wood is to protect the surface of the wood from moisture, as well as from damage by insects. And the orphanage will not be an exception here. It is advisable to impregnate the boards on both sides with a special composition, which contains both water-repellent components and antiseptics.
Installation of walls and roof
- When the floor is sorted out, you can start creating walls. To mount this element, you should create a frame of bars, which will later be sheathed with clapboard or shields. The main thing is not to forget about the doors and windows. First of all, a bar is installed in every corner of the future children's house. For these purposes, you can choose products with a section of 60x40 mm, a length of 3 m is enough. Each element is cut into three parts, 1 m high, or into two parts 1.5 m each. Next, bars are installed under windows and doors.
- To fix the main bar, you should nail it to the floor, but in such a way that in the future these nails can be easily pulled out. This is due to the fact that the most durable fastening of building parts can only be done on special mounting corners, which are installed a little later. Between the rafters (approximately at half height) be sure to install additional spacers, which will also serve fastening system. It is unforgettable that the beams are connected from above by a frame, which will be the basis for the roof. When the base for the walls is ready, the nails are pulled out one by one and metal corners are mounted in their place. It is important to fix all corners and butt elements with corner fasteners, only then the house will really be strong.
- Bars that are installed horizontally mark windows and doors. We need to calculate their height in advance. The calculation is carried out from the width of the sheathing boards, parameters should be set so that when sheathing does not have to cut the board along its width or close the floor of the window. That is, we consider how many full boards will fit into the remaining opening from above and below and at such a height and fix the horizontal struts.
- And the last thing to do to complete the frame is to put the bars for the roof. To do this, we knock two bars together at an angle (in the form of an unfinished triangle, the base of which will be one of the walls), and we strengthen the free ends on the upper bars of the walls. There can be from 2 to 4 such triangles. Without fail, one is installed on opposite walls of the house, opposite each other, and one or two can be installed between them, it all depends on the size of the structure. Also, these bars must be fixed with corners.

- Since we have a children's house in front of us, it is advisable to decorate it in bright colors. This can be done with children. In addition, windows can additionally decorate carved architraves, which are commercially available, or make them yourself. Inside the building, it is recommended to install benches and a table, but, of course, this is far from the only option for decorating the interior. A porch is often made in front of the house, which was either originally included in the plan, or it can be easily completed separately.
- It is important that the house for children is completely safe. This concerns its stability and reliability of the connection of elements to each other. Also, so that during the game the kids do not get hurt and scratched, all boards must be jointed and well protected with a layer of paint, varnish or stain. Metal corners, screws and nails must be properly sealed so that they do not bulge or stick out.
