Description of the child playhouse:

A hinged door can be fastened over the ladder access area so that your kid can see who is requesting access and decide whether or not to admit them. The elevated floor and solid walls complete the hideaway feeling. It is easy to add on to this design with window closures, rope descents, sandbag enclosures, camoflauge netting, and more. Just let your imagination guide you. Painting is not required unless you would like to do so for cosmetic purposes.

This guard tower is on stilts and the floor is five feet above the ground. The play area is five feet square in plan and there is about five and a half feet of headroom inside. The guard tower is a wooden structure with sheet metal walls and a wood shingled sloping roof. The plans call for cement footings to be set in the ground thus providing maximum stability.
