Playhouses and Backyard Clubhouses
A tiny house with a big imagination: cottages, forts and clubhouses built for pretend play.
- Custom Builds
- Design to install

A playhouse gives children a place that is entirely theirs. It might be a cottage with a Dutch door and flower boxes, a secret clubhouse on stilts or the second story of a big swing set.
We build playhouses as standalone cottages or as part of a larger playground. Details like windows, shutters, a porch rail, a mailbox or a loft make them as charming for parents as they are exciting for kids.
Details that make it magical
Dutch doors, real windows, a little porch, a pulley or a telescope turn a simple room into a world. We can match the playhouse to your home with similar colors and trim.
Inside, benches, shelves or a loft give kids places to read, play and hide.
Standalone or part of a set
A standalone playhouse works well for pretend play and quiet time. Attached to a swing set tower, a clubhouse deck adds a lookout and a place to gather before the next slide run.
We plan access, ventilation and safe railing heights for the age of the children who will use it.
From first call to first swing.
