My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    We actually used materials from the homeowners remodel that was happening at the same time as the garden installation. The kids loved it! Under the play house is a sandbox, under the catwalk are monkey bars, and then the stage under the upper deck. We left the post tall on the upper deck to attach little hammocks too and screens so that they could make forts!
    I highly recommend building a play house for your kids or even better with your kids! Don't feel like you have to finish it in one weekend, the process will be one that you and your kids will enjoy for a lifetime!
    I would be happy to help you with plans if you need help.

      Gee...posted plans would be lovely. :) I want to use the bridge and double decker stage/deck to add on to our existing fort!

      I'm sure if you contact the designer you may be able to have them design you one for a fee. I would think the plans would not be free as it did take them time to draw them!

      I bought my home a year ago and have a blank slate. Right now there is nothing in the yard for the kids to play with besides a pool in the summer so this would be an amazing addition in creating a FUN KidZone. Can someone give me some plans, design ideas, etc? I would love to build this with my (5) daughters. Thank you so much.
