Cubby house

Your kids will love this

sturdy playhouse

into the ground to mark

position of posts (see diagram). The four

cubby posts (A1) form a square, two

verandah posts (A2) support opposite

verandah corners and one swing post

(A3) holds up the other verandah corner.

Check that set out is square. Dig 500mm

deep holes for the posts. If holes are

deeper than 500mm, add 300mm to post

dimensions. To avoid bracing separate

swing post, set it 1000mm into ground.

Temporarily brace all posts vertically.

floor height on one post.

Use a water level to transfer the mark

to the other posts. Number each post,

remove, then measure 140mm down

from mark. Cut 45mm deep housing

at each of these points, put posts

back in their respective holes, align

the housings and brace them vertically.

Add a bag of concrete mix (two for the

separate swing post) to each hole to

set them in place. Leave overnight.

childhood used to be scrounging

a few offcuts of wood and other bits and

pieces to build a cubby, these days it is

not so easy. Here’s a terrific cubby on

poles, complete with swing and slide,

which will delight the smaller members

of your family and give them a place of

their own.

back of cubby, then add two verandah

beams (C) into housings either side of

the verandah. Check for level, then bolt

enclosing beams (D, E, F) to face of

posts so that perimeter is enclosed by

beams. Secure end of cross beam (E)

to verandah beam with three bridge

spikes. Finally add remaining cubby and

verandah beams (B, C) equally spaced

inside the framework using joist hangers.

one or two may need ripping down to suit

small gap at top. Overlap

sheets; position slightly up from roof

frame ends so they will be covered by

fascias. Add capping (S). Nail fascia

boards (U) to ends of roof frame, then

cut 22.5° angles on barge boards (T).

studs (I). On front wall with

door and window set centre stud to leave

a 640mm space for window frame. Nail

together window frame (J, K) and nail

into wall frame 400mm from top of frame.

Finish wall frame with door head (L)

located 300mm from the top of frame. On

the slippery dip wall also leave a 575mm

opening and install a door head 400mm

from top of frame. Install all the frames

between posts of cubby section, flush

with inside edge. Cut off any projecting

post sections.

Step 11 Make a ladder by

screwing rungs (X1)

spaced 250mm apart to rails (X2).

Screw to decking if desired.

Large handles make it

easy for kids to climb

onto the verandah.

Step 6 Cut the top chords (M)

of the roof trusses with a

22.5° angle at each end. Nail together

at the top and lay the assembly over

the bottom chord (N), which has a

final length of 1510mm. The top chord

overhangs are equal. It helps to place a

block under the top joint. Mark the acute

cutting angles on the bottom chord and

cut. Nail together, then add a king post

(O) to support the ridge. Reinforce the

joints with nail plates, then skew-nail to

top of wall frames.

Step 12 Cut swing posts to

2.4m to fit swing beam

with long screws and nail plates.

Drill through and fix purpose made

anchors for swing ropes and the

climbing rope to clear by 400mm.

Step 13 Use decking or similar

Step 7 Prepare and nail the roof

door, holding in place

by screwing from underside of cubby.

Clear all obstructions around swing and

slippery dip and provide a soft landing

area. Add a few handles near slippery

dip and ladder. Round and sand all sharp

edges.

panels. Save offcuts to fit around window

and door openings.
