We built this Round-Window Kid’s Pallet Playhouse to be sturdy and fun. We included a kid-sized deck/porch area and railings to keep the little ones safe. The whole playhouse was made using recycled materials. We had a huge pile of wood, parquet, paneling, beams, and more that we removed from our home during a renovation. We got tired of storing the wood and decided to put it to good use in this playhouse! This project took four days to finish, but it was worth it!

Round-Window Kid’s Pallet Playhouse Foundation:

First, we created the foundation, making a rectangle for the playhouse, and an L-shape for the little porch/deck area. We used 2×6″ beams to create most of the foundation, filling in some areas with reclaimed 2×4″ boards. Next, we created the floor and deck using old parquet boards that we secured with nails. Our handy tip: Build the floor, nail it in place, and then trim off the excess with a circular saw. It’s a lot easier than trying to be perfect with your cuts for every single board. The playhouse measures 1.60m tall – approx. 63″ tall.

Round-Window Kid’s Pallet Playhouse Frame:

While following the same logic, we have advanced to the frame construction. We used more recycled beams and created the large back wall. Then, we temporarily braced with boards, even though we secured it to the foundation.  Then, we framed out the other walls, using temporary braces as required for safety. Next, we covered the walls with pallet boards and cut the excess off as we went with a circular saw.

Round-Window Kid’s Pallet Playhouse Windows:

We planned and cut the windows out at this time. To make the round windows, you can put a nail in the center of where you want the window, tie a string to it, and then hold a pencil at the radius length you want. Then, simply hold onto the string (it’s easy if you wrap it around the pencil a couple of times) and draw your circle.

Round-Window Kid’s Pallet Playhouse– The Fun Touches:

I got an old slatted closet door that I cut into thirds. I made the front door out of two of the pieces and used the third to create shutters for the small window. Finally, we installed the railings on the porch/deck area. All that remained was to paint the trim with a good-quality exterior paint.

Toute la maison a été faite en matériaux de récupération, nous avions un énorme tas de bois, parquet, lambris, poutres, que nous avions enlevé de notre maison lors de la rénovation et entreposé. Il nous a fallu 4 jours à 2.

On a donc commencé par créer les fondations, un rectangle pour la maison et un L pour la terrasse. J’ai récupéré du vieux parquet que j’ai cloué sur les poutres pour faire le sol. Petite astuce, assemblez et clouez le tout et découpez à la scie circulaire ce qui dépasse ensuite.
Toujours avec de vieilles poutres on a créé l’ossature de la maison et on vous l’accorde on a vu un peu grand !! (elle fait 1.60m de hauteur)
Tout en suivant la même logique, on a avancé dans la construction de l’ossature.
J’ai récupéré une vieille porte de placard que j’ai coupé à 1/3. Avec une partie j’ai fait la porte et la seconde était destinée aux volets pour la petite fenêtre.

Il ne restait plus qu’à habillé l’ensemble, avec des restes de lambris, que nous avons cloué sur les poutres de la même manière que le parquet au sol. Toujours la même petite astuce, on a d’abord tout assemblé, en laissant des trous pour la baie vitrée et la porte, afin d’économiser du bois, puis on a découper proprement le surplus.

Pour faire les fenêtres rondes, rien de plus simple, il suffit de tracer un cercle, de percer un petit trou pour faire passer la lame de la scie sauteuse et de couper en suivant le trait ! Autre petit truc, avant de couper, j’ai relié entre eux les bois de la fenêtre pour m’en servir ensuite comme volets. Ne reste plus que la peinture et les accessoires..
