Pre-drill pilot holes and construct deck frame as shown with 2\u00bd-in. exterior wood screws.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2:\u00a0Attach the Deck Boards<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106249\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/da298d70d71a8cf3c29346feca28a1e8.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Measure, mark and cut 1 x 6 deck boards to length. Pre-drill pilot holes and attach to deck frame with 1\u00bc-in. exterior wood screws or deck screws.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Build the Front Panel<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106250\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/b17f149b93029e482771437f41065eb5.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Measure, mark, and cut 2 x 4 boards to length. Drill 1\u00bd-in. pocket holes into the ends of the 2x4s and construct the front panel as shown with 2\u00bd-in. exterior pocket screws. You can place the pocket holes on the outside of the playhouse because the 1 x 6 tongue and groove planks will cover them up in a later step.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Build the Back Panels<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106251\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/933cb34a7530d8e18165e7721564212c.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Measure, mark, and cut 2 x 4 boards to length. Drill 1\u00bd-in. pocket holes into the ends of the 2 x 4 stiles and construct the back panel as shown with 2\u00bd-in. exterior pocket screws. Once again, place the pocket holes on the outside so they\u2019ll be hidden by the tongue and groove planks later.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Build Two Side Panels<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106252\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/95ee980220d2b8eab77ebc8d8929622e.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Measure, mark and cut 2 x 4 boards to length. The top angles are all cut at a 5\u00ba angle off square. It is\u00a0recommended to hold the angled boards in place, marking, then cutting to length for the most precise fit. Cut long and shave off \u215b-in. at a time until the fit is snug. Drill 1\u00bd-in. pocket holes into the ends of the rails and construct the side panels as shown with 2\u00bd-in. pocket screws. Build two of these side panels. Place pocket holes on the outside of the playhouse. These side panels should be mirror images of each other.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Construct the Playhouse<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106254\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/818431b5fd188c7a891c4fa2989ef6ab.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pre-drill pilot holes and attach the side panels and front and back panels as shown by driving 2\u00bd-in. wood screws from the front and back panel stiles into the side panel stiles. Space screws approximately 6-8 in. apart. Secure the playhouse frame to the deck.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 7: Attach the Roof Supports<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106255\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/41c5f2157f849205c9427d32fde8e913.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Measure, mark and cut the 2 x 4 roof supports to length. Pre-drill pilot holes and attach the roof supports to the playhouse with 2\u00bd-in. exterior wood screws driven from the front and back panel top rails into the roof supports. Alternately, you can drill 1\u00bd-in. pocket holes into the roof support ends as shown and attach them to the playhouse with 2\u00bd-in. pocket screws.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 8: Attach the Tongue and Groove Planks to the Side Panels<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106256\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/c9aeeaf0863e9f5b07dbafaf8c1ac7b4.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Starting at the bottom with the tongue facing up, attach the first plank with 1\u00bc-in. brad nails and glue. Hide the nail heads by driving them in at an angle at the tongue. This way, when you place the next board, the groove will hide the nail holes. Work your way up until you reach the top plank. For the top plank, hold it in place, mark a line following the pitch of the roof, then use a circular saw or jigsaw to rip the board to fit. Repeat for the other side.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106257\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/a6b00927585847d4b6e75b0a12d32c43.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Step 9: Attach the Tongue and Groove Planks to the Back Panel<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106258\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/b6d3b0066a9126035ff650cf4ff31c3f.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Measure, mark and cut tongue and groove planks to length. Starting at the bottom with the tongue facing up, attach the bottom plank with 1\u00bc-in. brad nails and glue. Work your way up, driving the nails in at an angle at the tongue to hide the nail holes. Once again, the top plank will have to be ripped to width. You may choose to substitute a 1 x 2 for this top board.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 10: Attach the Tongue and Groove Planks to the Front Panel<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106259\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/b966704fa1e2e7a85e49c2db10b5f221.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"607\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Measure, mark and cut the tongue and groove planks to length. Starting at the bottom with the tongue facing up, attach the bottom planks with 1\u00bc-in. brad nails and glue. Work your way up to the top.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 11: Attach Window Trim<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106260\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/9a3f710b777949181a8938663bf0f413.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"607\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Measure, mark and cut the trim to length. Note that the window \u201cledge\u201d is a 1 x 3 while the rest of the trim are 1 x 2s. Attach trim to window with 1\u00bc-in. brad nails and glue. Repeat for other side window.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 12: Attach Window and Door Trim<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106261\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/63388c7b71260454f5716f00948ef89b.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Measure, mark, and cut 1&#215;2 trim to length. Once again, the window \u201cledge\u201d is a 1 x 3 while the rest are 1 x 2s. Attach trim to the playhouse with 1\u00bc inch brad nails and glue. For the transom window trim, it is recommended to build the window trim complete and then bring the completed trim up to the window. Drill \u00be-in. pocket holes into the 1 x 2 dividers in the transom window and attach to the rest of the trim with 1\u00bc-in. pocket screws.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 13: Attach Sheathing<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106262\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/b5130335f2b0c90c89bc1371edecb7be.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Measure, mark and cut sheathing to size. Pre-drill pilot holes and attach the roof to the playhouse with 1\u00bc-in. exterior wood screws. Install roofing of your choice (i.e. shingles, corrugated metal, roof panels, etc.) according to manufacturer\u2019s directions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-106263\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/26f699bd1bc9cf383aaec665ec4eb8a8.jpg\" alt=\"Build a Playhouse\" width=\"750\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Step 16: Paint and Add the Finishing Touches<\/h3>\n<p>Paint the playhouse the color of your choosing! Cut lattice to size to cover any openings below the platform. Then, cut lumber to the size of your choosing to create a step.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Playhouse<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104123 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/71bbc9fe2eef7573dc0400a321e5e692.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<div class=\"inner\">Check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.homedepot.com\/perfect-holiday-gift-backyard-playhouse\/\">final reveal<\/a> of this playhouse Christmas present.
