How to build an orphanage in the country. Children's wooden houses. Option # 2

Remember your childhood. Remember when you played your adult life in which you definitely had your own home? Even though it was really just small space under the table, curtained from the whole world with an old bedspread. It seems that all this happened so recently. And how many years have passed since then! Now you already have your children, who also dream of their own tiny little corner. Make them happy: build a wooden orphanageik do it yourself. Try to make this work collaborative. After all, common affairs and interests bring together and help in communication.

The house we are going to build with you must be extremely simple. It is important. You can make it beautiful from the inside and outside, if you show imagination, work not only with your hands, but also with your head. In short, your child and you have a front for joint work. It will really be a wonderful rehearsal for adult life for a kid.

Children love to play into adulthood. For this purpose, they just need to have their own space, which they could equip to their liking in order to put their toys there.

Determine the need for materials

If the child's age is from 2 to 6 years old, then big house he doesn't need it. We have to erect a building with a modest size, having a square of 1.7x1.7 meters at the base and about 2.5 meters in height.

The need for materials is as follows:

Chipboard 2x1.7 m - 4 sheets;
For the walls and roof, 13 beams are needed with a length of 2.5 meters and a section of 2.5x 2.5 cm. Of the 13, only 8 bars need to sharpen one end;
For the floor supports, take 8 beams 35 cm long and 2.5x 2.5 cm in cross section;
To fasten the floor horizontally, you will need 4 boards 2 meters long, with a section of 15x5 cm;
We will lay the floor with boards (13 pieces) 2 meters long and 15x5 cm in size;
We will cover the roof with plywood and any roofing material;
Of consumable you need screws, metal corners, paint and brushes.

All this must be prepared before starting work so that it is at hand. Let the child learn to work in an organized and harmonious way from childhood.

Building materials for small children's house must be prepared before starting construction. There is no need to make a drawing for it: it is a very simple and light construction

Choosing and marking a place, making a flooring

Yes, a child wants to have his own corner for games, but completely losing sight of it at this age is simply dangerous. You never know what can happen to a baby? Therefore, it is necessary to build a play house in the country in such a place that this structure can be clearly seen from the kitchen window, for example. So mom, while preparing dinner, will be able to look after the youngest member of the family.

Such a small house is enough to make a child happy. We suggest you build approximately such a structure for a toddler aged 2 to 6 years.

We have to do the markup. We take pegs and twine, mark out an area, the size of which is 2x2 meters. The selected area should be well tamped, and its surface should be flat. In the corners of the resulting site, we dig holes 20 cm deep. We place the beams in them so that they are 15 cm above the ground.

Exactly the same indentations must be made in the middle of each of the four sides of the site. We also place bars in them and strengthen them. The structure is small and it is not necessary to use a solution in this case. We have eight supports: one at the four corners of the court and one on each of the four sides.

Once again we measure the height of the supports using a measurement. The quality of the entire building depends on how flat the base of the floor of the house is. We don't need distortions. We nail four boards to the supports so that an open box comes out. On it the boards will be laid tightly to one another. We attach the boards with screws and get the finished flooring.

You should pay particular attention to initial stage work, because distortions at first can negate all the efforts of the builder

We erect the walls of the structure

To build the walls, we need all four sheets of chipboard (chipboard) and 8 beams with pointed ends. It is necessary to attach to each chipboard sheet on both sides with screws on a bar. In this case, the blunt ends of the beams should be flush with the upper edge of the chipboard, and the pointed ends will protrude by half a meter. Each chipboard sheet with two beams on the sides forms one wall of the house. Let the end wall be deaf, and in the one opposite it, you can cut out a door. Side walls can be made with windows. Two or one windows will be in your house, you decide.

Choose the shape of the openings for windows and doors yourself. But it is better to look into children's books and make a choice, guided by pictures. Kids love fairy tales, let the child's house look as fabulous as possible. There should be a lot of sun in the house, but you shouldn't forget about the shade on a hot day either. Already finished walls with a sledgehammer are installed so that the chipboard surface is close to the flooring. Remember to check the vertical orientation of the walls. The walls must be fastened together with the help of corners and screws. There should be no cracks in the building!

We build a reliable roof

The roof of the house can be made high or flat. It all depends on how you imagine this structure. We will do this: take 4 beams, the edges of which are not sharpened, and cut off their ends at 45 degrees. We fasten two beams together with screws so that inner corner between them was 90 degrees. Both corner structures are constituent parts the base of the roof. From the inside, each of the corners should be fastened with metal corners on the screws.

It doesn't matter if there is no plywood on the farm. For the lathing, you can use thin slats, remnants of laminate and other similar materials

One of the corner structures must be attached to the front wall of the house. To close free space between the roof of the house and the wall, you need to outline a triangle. It is cut out with a hacksaw. We do the same with the opposite wall of the building. The roof supports can now be fastened together with a transverse beam. The finished frame remains to be attached to the walls using metal corners.

Plywood is needed to cover the roof. If it is not there, you can use everything that remains from the construction and repair of the house. For example, slats, laminate flooring, etc. Remnants of ondulin, colored slate, profiled sheet or tiles can also be used as roofing material. It is even better if there are multi-colored pieces of the same type of roofing material. You will get a real "gingerbread house". Remained finishing work and painting. Such childish playhouse do it yourself can be built in one day. And this does not require special skills of the builder.

The construction of an orphanage should be taken seriously. If you manage to accurately complete all stages of the work, then you will be able to handle large objects.

Option # 2 - a house for older children

Older children need not only a place to play, they also need all kinds of devices and structures with which to play. This video will show you how to build a more complex children's house for children over 6 years old.

Option # 3 - a two-story house made of willow and reed

A house for children can be built from various materials at hand. In this case, the builders had the opportunity to use willow trees for these purposes, from the thickets of which they freed the local reservoir, as well as reeds, prepared in advance. The trunks of cut trees can be used to build the first floor of the house. To do this, they are cut into 15 cm long blocks.

The first floor of the willow house

Old beams 10x10cm were used for the frame, which made the first floor geometrically accurate. Since it forms the basis of the structure, this option can be considered optimal. We fix the frame of the future window and begin to lay the chocks on cement mortar... The solution requires sand (1 part), clay (2 parts), cement (1 part). We add water so that the mass is not liquid, but elastic.

Laying must be done carefully. To do this, it is necessary that the solution has not a liquid, but an elastic consistency. All gaps between chocks must be carefully filled

We will use nails (20cm) so that the frame and blockwork from the block get a strong hitch. They must be driven in pairs into the frame of the structure, alternating with them every 2-3 rows. For doorway we put another bar. Make sure that all the gaps between the chocks on both sides of the wall are completely filled with mortar. The walls are ready.

To ensure that the frame and masonry are securely fastened to each other, you can use not only nails, but also long metal pins

Now we will build the floor. To do this, you need chunks 10 cm long. Inside the structure, we take out the soil 15 cm deep. Pour sand on the bottom of the formed pit by five centimeters. On it very tightly, carefully selecting, we lay the chocks. Using a wide board and a hammer, we ram them.

The construction of such a floor from wooden blocks is not an easy task, but the result is worth the effort. After all, your children will play in the house

We fill up the existing gaps with sand, after which the floor should be poured with water under pressure so that the sand fills the gaps and reliably fixes the block. Fill the slots with a solution of sand and cement. We leave the floor to dry, after which it is necessary to rinse it well so that the color of the wood returns.

The second floor of the willow house

If the wood for the first floor was cut down before the sap flow began, then willows are needed for the second floor, when the sap is already running through them. It is such wood that can be very easily freed from bark. It is necessary to attach the logs to the frame with two hundredth nails. Between themselves, they should also be knocked down in the tightest places. Do not forget about the door and window openings... To make a four-pitched roof, you need four even logs, from which you can build rafters. They are nailed along the edges of the house, and at the intersection they are fixed with self-tapping screws.

Willow trunks during the sokogon period are very easily cleaned of bark. It is from such peeled branches and trunks that the second floor will be built

We take young reeds for the roof. It should grow in the spring and must be harvested in the winter. It is better to mow reeds during a period when there is little snow, and the shore and the surface of the reservoir are covered with ice. The scythe slides on the ice, so the reeds will be cut evenly and look neat.

When laying a roof of reeds, fix it by tightening two slats with self-tapping screws. First, we place a crate on the rafters, on it we lay reeds of the same thickness as planned. Then, on top of the reeds, we lay the rail and tighten it with the crate with long self-tapping screws. We do the same with all sides of the roof. The top of the structure is crowned with a cap, which is pressed against the rafters with the help of a wire.

This is how it looks hipped roofcovered with reeds. If everything is done slowly, then the result of the work will delight everyone

The frame can be covered water-based paint... The hammocks are attached to a specially built large log. However, you can also use an old tree, the trunk of which is still quite reliable.

From the point of view of psychologists, every person and especially children need their own territory. It is not for nothing that they have a craving for the construction of huts, halabuds, bases and other buildings from any suitable and not very materials. If you have your own yard or a child spends a lot of time in the country, build a children's house for him. The easiest way is by frame technology... Examples of the construction of wooden playhouses for summer cottages in photo reports.

Playhouse for summer cottages with a sandbox below

We bring the brought beam 100 * 100 mm to smoothness. You can use a plane, you can use a drill with a fixed skin. First with a large grain, then with a small one. After we process it from decay protective compound, paint. While the pillars are drying, we drill holes (our diameter is 23 cm, depth is 60 cm). We fall asleep in them to the bottom near the crushed stone shovel. We put the pillars, set them vertically, fill them with crushed stone, compact them, and concrete them.

We cut the exposed pillars all into one level. We fix the same beam 100 * 100 mm from above. It is also carefully processed so that there are no splinters. We connect in half a tree: at the ends we cut out recesses in half the thickness of the timber. For a beam of 100 * 100 mm, cutouts of 50 mm in depth and in an area of \u200b\u200b100-100 mm: so that the same sawn edge of another beam lies flat.

We fix the upper beam. Collected three, while the fourth lies.

We fix it securely: on top of 2 long nails (200 mm), on the sides of the corners on the screws.

We attach an additional beam on the long side. Under it, in the middle - above the rack - we cut out a recess also half the thickness of the bar - 50 mm. It is no longer necessary for the wood to burst. We cut the laid timber at the ends in the same way as those that go along the perimeter: in half a tree. It fits into the prepared gash.

The children's house must have a solid margin of safety. Therefore, we are reinsured in every connection. To give the structure stability under lateral loads, we will put jibs. We cut them from a bar of 50 * 50 mm, cut the ends at 45 °.

Putting it by surprise, clenching it well.

After installing the jibs, we lay the board. This will be the floor of the house.

Without an assistant - no way

We cut the flooring from the boards. It is more convenient to work with an electric jigsaw, but you can also use a hacksaw.

On the finished flooring, we assemble the frame of the play house. We use a beam of 50 * 50 mm. We set the bars strictly vertically, fasten them first with nails - two on both sides, then reinforce them with corners on self-tapping screws (also on both sides).

We increase the rigidity of the structure by installing jibs. Then we nail the harness of the second floor. We just nail these bars between the posts. They must be sawed off with great accuracy so that the building does not warp. We strengthen the joints with corners, then we put jibs.

We do not nail the jibs in the place where the entrance will be.

Sheathed with a board left over from the equipment packaging. You can use from pallets, buy an inch board (12-13 mm thick), sheathe with clapboard or imitation of a bar, log, siding.

When the sheathing is almost finished, we begin to assemble the rafter system. Easier, of course, to do pitched roof - make one wall higher and no problem. But the gable looks better, although it is more difficult to perform.

For rafter system we put two boards on an edge, connect at the top, sawing off the corners. The rise depends on the desire and the amount of snow. If there is a lot of snow, raise the skate higher. If not, it can be about a meter or less. We knock down with nails, then we reinforce the connection with overhead plates.

When building houses, either a metal plate or a piece of board is placed here. Decided to use a board.

According to the finished sample, we mark out other rafters. Cut out, knock down under two rafter legs at an angle (all should be the same as a carbon copy). Having installed it on the top of the house, we check the verticality. Then we nail with two nails on both sides and set the corners.

Now sheathing boards are laid on the rafters. The roofing material will be ondulin. We put the board 11 * 100 mm with a step of 30 cm.

Based on the thickness of the board (11 mm), we take self-tapping screws 25 mm long for fixing the ondulin (so that they fit well into the board. We put rubber gaskets under the caps so that it does not flow.

Handrail made from processed, sanded board. They are screwed onto powerful self-tapping screws 90 mm. Two for the bottom beam - one for the planking.

Railings are installed on the "veranda" of the house

At the top, the railing is connected with a 30 * 30 mm bar. Then a board will be nailed to it - a handrail.

The railing is ready for painting

It was decided to put a sandbox below. It is not difficult to assemble: eight boards on the walls, connected at the corners with the help of bars, A board-side is nailed on top. Then the sandbox is painted.

Even a “non-builder” can build such a children's house with his own hands. There are no particularly complicated works, you can get by with an elementary tool.

Several options from the same series are shown in the photo below. Two are houses with a slide, and one is a one-story version, more suitable for girls.

One-story "open" option

How to make a children's house from OSB and plywood (frame technology)

It was decided to make a house using frame technology - a base from a board, sheathing from OSB. The dimensions in the plan are 3 * 2 m, the height of the walls is 1.5 m, in the ridge 2.2 m. Boards of 50 * 100 mm were purchased for the frame, an inch board (100 * 12 mm) for the subfloor, OSB 9 mm for the floor and outer sheathing , for internal - sanded plywood FSF 6 mm, foam for insulation with a thickness of 100 mm.

Preparatory work - the assembly of boards for the orphanage - was carried out in the garage: it is still cold. Later, as it gets warmer, the house will move to the country house, to the place of permanent registration.

The first stage is the manufacture of the floor frame. We knock down a rectangle with sides 3 * 2 m, nail down transverse boards (floor logs) with a step of 50 cm.

The floor will be insulated with foam. Children love to sit on the floor, so we insulate well - with 100 mm foam. We fill thin strips under it from the lower side - so that it does not fall through. We insert the foam. The slots can be filled with polyurethane foam.

It's good that the building is small. We put on the side and hem from below with an inch board. This will be the subfloor. After turning it over, we sew up the OSB.

Later, when the house was taken to the dacha, an error in the installation of OSB was revealed. He was nailed close. In the humid air, the material swelled and the sheets were bent in some places. Therefore, during installation sheet material leave a gap of 8-10 mm.

Next, we collect the frame of the walls. We put the racks in increments of 1 meter, under the windows and doors - doubled. Since the top will be stuffed with OSB on one side, and plywood on the other, the structure will be rigid. We do not put jibs. They are needed if the orphanage will be upholstered with clapboard or other rack material.

Assembling the wall frame

The work has been moved to the dacha. Three old logs were used as a foundation. They are hewn, the tops are aligned. The logs are set on a level, a board is nailed onto them, on which the platform will be installed. The width of the house is 2 meters, and the logs are 3 meters long. We will arrange the rest as a terrace or porch.

We installed the platform. It is attached to the logs with large pins that connect the log and the platform. We began to expose the frame of the walls. They must be placed exactly vertically. To fix, they used temporary cuts - they nailed them with boards on the side.

Fixed externally (connecting brackets are visible in this photo)

Along the way, having exposed and checking whether the wall is level, we nail it to the platform with long nails. The length of the nail is such that it at least reaches the middle of the frame board.

Then the fittings begin: you need to properly cut the corners under the rafter legs so that they lie flat on the boards. First we cut out approximately, gradually ensuring that there are no gaps.

Trying to "create" a rafter leg

When the shape of the cuts is clear, we transfer it to other boards using a sharpened pencil. We cut everything evenly (with a jigsaw, if there is or hand saw). Then we nail all the boards to the frame. We stuff transverse boards between the rafters - the ondulin will rest on them. It turns out such a house.

After the construction of the rafter system, only the cladding remains - inside and outside. Outside we stuff OSB. We make it so that the joints fall on the racks. We nail it down, you can use wood screws. Whom it is more convenient.

Insulation of the house inside - mineral (basalt wool)

Everything is nailed from above with plywood. And that's all. It's done - paint it and you can put it into operation)))

Using the same technology, you can build a tree house. It will be necessary to secure the site, and everything else is very similar.

Drawings and diagrams

Each homemade orphanage differs in size. Based on how many "inhabitants" are planned in it. If the child plays alone, then 1.5 * 1.5 m is more than enough. If there are two children, they are already needed big sizes... At least 2 * 2 m. In height, too, decide for yourself. But it is better not to do less than 1.5 m.

House made of boards and plywood with a slide roof

Many summer residents, when planning and, are going to build at least a small children's house with their own hands, so that small owners have something to do and where to play in the summer. That is why we decided to write an article where we will describe in detail the process of creating this small structure on the site.

In our case, the height of the ridge of the building will be 90 centimeters, and the overall dimensions will be limited to the following indicators - 160x160x140 centimeters. To build a children's house, you will need the following tools and materials:

Screws with nails;
4 foundation blocks;
Paint;
4 floorboards;
Edged board;
Lining;
6 beam holders;
Mounting corners;
11 bars for flooring and 5 for roofing;
Carved platbands;
Furniture board.

Work order

Assembling the floor frame... The first step is to carry out the base of the future structure, followed by reinforcement with metal corners and diagonal alignment.

Definition with a plot... Should choose flat place... If there is none, then you will first have to level the area for the building. On the site, using the frame, it is necessary to designate four corner points, which will become the markup for placing the foundation blocks.
We give stability to the base... Before laying out the frame of the house, you should place four foundation blocks on the surface of the sand cushion, no more than one bayonet of the shovel in depth. After that, a waterproofing material is laid between the frame and the base.

Floor execution... In the next step, the frame is completely sheathed with boards, thus obtaining a flat surface.

Bottom side processing... After the floor is assembled, it is necessary to process the outer surface of the boards, that is, the one that will subsequently adhere to the ground. Then you can start to build walls, insert doors and windows.

An important point!For the construction of a children's house with your own hands, you should only select jointing materials... Thus, children will not be injured and receive splinters while playing in a small building. For the same purpose, it makes sense to chamfer the corners.

Rafters... The first step is to draw a preliminary marking on the working surface. Then the bait is made with the help of temporary nails. The next step is to fix the reinforcement, and also close up all the joints with corners. At the end, the nails are removed.
Fastening the rafters... To install exactly on a plumb line, 3 rafters should be placed on the frame, resting them with an inclined support. The walls of the future orphanage will be attached to the frame with metal holders.

Wall cladding... A self-assembled frame can be sheathed different materials, however, lining is most often used for this.

Roof assembly... Starting from the ridge, the roof of the house is sheathed with carved boards on both sides. On top of it, you can lay ondulin, which is quite simply cut to size with a grinder.

External decoration... Having finished with the construction of the orphanage, do not stop there - decorate appearance new building for the child, making the building more elegant and beautiful. To do this, you can embellish the corners of the building with curly corners, and the doors, windows and ends with carved platbands.

Interior... Not to be overlooked and by placing inside, for example, a small bench or table.

Thus, you will get an almost finished children's house. As you can see, doing all the work with your own hands is not difficult at all. In the end, all that remains is to paint the walls of the new building.

Children's house on poles

You can easily build a play house for a child on your own summer cottage, right in front of the dwelling. One of the most common options is a do-it-yourself building on pillars.

Instructions for work

Of course, the new structure on the site will not differ in large weight, and therefore there is no need to carry out a foundation for it. However, some foundation is still required even for a children's facility. In our case, it is best to use a wooden beam of 100 x 100 millimeters. You can fasten the timber together using steel corners.

The next step is to place supports that will hold the top floor of the orphanage. For this purpose, it is worth using boards with a thickness and width of 30 and 80 millimeters, respectively. For fastening, jumpers are useful, which will simultaneously hold the boards of the 2nd floor.

Together with this, wooden supports are installed, they will act as supporting structures for the stairs. A wooden floor is being installed.

Expert advice! In order for the overlap of the future structure to be able to hold a strong load, it is recommended to place the boards with the edges down.

It is best if the supports of the building will be placed not somewhere, but on a paving slab surface.

To prevent children from getting hurt during the game, it is worth installing balusters with railings on the stairs.

In the upper part, the supports must be fixed to each other. Jumpers should be used to secure the wall frame.

You can sheathe the walls with ordinary boards, it is recommended to use plywood for the roof.

For greater safety and to avoid injuries in children, before building a children's house, it is worth sanding all the timber with your own hands. In addition, it is better if you inspect all the boards in advance for chips, cracks and breaks in order to minimize the risk of splinters during the operation of the building.

Almost any modern soft roof can be used.

In addition to the main entrance, it will not be superfluous to provide in the design of the house for children and "black" and simply an emergency exit. For this purpose, a small hole can be made in the floor of the structure, where the rope will be extended. Undoubtedly, the guys will appreciate this solution!

Closer to the end, finishing works are carried out, for which various decorative elements and multi-colored dyeing materials are used.

Finally, between the pillars, under the first floor, you can create a sandbox.

DIY master class on creating a house

First option

The work will require the following materials:

Corners made of wood.
Edged board.
Sheet piling for flooring.
Nails.
Metal mounting angles.
A bar for a frame with a cross section of 45 by 45 centimeters.
Biotex.
"Block house".

Before starting to create a children's house with your own hands, you need to draw up a drawing of the future design. In our case, the building will contain a single room with a doorway and a window and a small veranda.

As you know, any construction work begins with grounds, which will simultaneously play the role of gender. The three logs are connected together with the tongue-and-groove boards by means of a tenon-groove and nails.

After that, a frame of a new building is made from a bar. Do not forget that for fixing the bars it is worth using metal corners.

So that in the process of fastening the "Block House" the material is not damaged and does not spoil its appearance, it is necessary to use scraps and a hammer.

Wall cladding should be based on the location of the doorway and windows.

The corners from the street side are covered with wooden corners.

Edged boards are used for the roof, which are fixed on each side with nails. The flooring is recommended to be made of bituminous shingles.

After you have completely built the children's house with your own hands, it is necessary to treat the walls, floor and roof of the building with Biotex. This composition will not only give surfaces desired color, but will further protect the structure of the building from the negative effects of rain and sun.

Like last time, shelves, a table and benches are made inside the room.

Thus, with our own hands, without the help of specialists and additional costs, we will get a beautiful and reliable children's house, which your children will certainly appreciate.

Second option

In the second case, the following components and materials will be required to build a house:

Thin boards.
Roofing material.
Six wooden boards 2.4 by 1.8 meters.
A set of screws.
Bars of various sections.
Stain.

It is recommended to lay the foundation using crushed stone, if possible. Alternatively, you can simply level the ground under the new structure. Further, bars with a cross-sectional size of 10 by 10 centimeters must be cut into equal parts, after which they should be placed with a step between the posts of 1.4-1.5 meters.

The support bars should be placed under the posts in the soil, so we will exclude the process of floor rotting in the future. We place bars 5 by 10 cm in cross section between the posts and panels, which will subsequently become the floor. The fixing of the beams is achieved by means of screws. The existing voids between the lags should be covered with earth.

The next step is to cut the wooden panels into equal parts, and then lay them out in a strictly horizontal position. Fastening is achieved by a bar.

In order for the flooring to end up as flat as possible, panels should be laid with a small marginand then saw off the excess parts.

Next comes the work on creating the side panels. In this case, the markup should be performed initially, leaving at least a 6-centimeter margin in width on each side. As for the height of the wall for the children's house, as an example, you can make 1.5-meter panels.

In the process of assembling walls with your own hands, one should not forget about door and window openings, which are also created based on pre-made markings. In our case, the dimensions of the door will be 0.6 by 1.2 meters.

Internal and external panels are varnished. After the flooring is well fixed, the walls are attached to it with screws. A board with a section size of 10 by 5 centimeters is placed with a small protrusion beyond the edge on the side.

As soon as new wall will be placed on site, its installation must be checked using a level. Only after making sure that the location is correct can you move on to the next wall!

The next step is to build a roof, which at the end is covered with a layer of roofing material. A wide ridge should be used to cover gaps that may accidentally form between the panels.

For greater beauty, you can create shutters on the windows or assemble a small porch in front of the house with your own hands.

At this, the children's building will be ready.

Above ground building with stairs and slide

An interesting option can be a children's house built on a summer cottage on a hill. In this case, the following materials and products may be required:

Paint.
Stairs.
Chipboard plates.
Sand with cement for the base.
Hill.
Bars made of wood for piles.
Screws and nails.

This version of the structure will be erected mainly due to the thorn-groove connection, which will allow, if necessary, to disassemble the building, for example, for the winter.

The frame of the house is assembled in the same way as shown in the photo below.

If you are going to run shutters on window opening, you should buy hinges in the store in advance.

The railing is going under the porch. For this purpose, small holes are made in the bars with a certain step, with a depth of no more than half of the bar.

The slats should be tried on together with the drilled slots. After making sure that the slats fit well, they should be removed for a while and secured with nails for greater ease of painting.

The most important moment in the construction of any structure is the laying of the foundation. The children's home is no exception! In our case, it is necessary to dig 4 holes under the piles of the building, the depth of which will be about one meter. Further, the supports are poured cement mixture, after which it remains to wait for final drying.

It is important to emphasize that the deeper the piles are placed in the soil, the more reliable the finished structure of the house will be, reducing to nothing the risk of collapse and mobility of the children's building.

Remember your childhood: almost every child dreamed of his own separate home - a toy house. Many of us tried to make ourselves a similar corner and, naturally, even though simple designs were obtained, they made our childhood much happier.

One who possessed own home out of a box, cardboard, many branches or pillows, could rightfully be considered the “coolest” child on the street.

Now that we have already matured and have our own children, I want to build a better structure with my own hands that will bring joy to our children.

The procedure for building a house made of wood with your own hands

First of all, you need to decide how your house will look approximately. To do this, you can already draw up the first schematic drawing, which will determine the type of building that you need.

So, the first thing before construction is to determine the following characteristics of the future structure:

Open or closed house.
Occupied area and height of the structure.
The location of the building. That is, where will the house be located: on the ground or on a tree? This is very important as the options differ significantly in the construction process.
The material from which the construction will be made. In our case, this is a tree.
The presence of windows, doors, as well as their number and material from which they will be made during construction.
The presence of additional outbuildings, namely: fences, terraces, swings, stairs, slide, sandpit, any extension, and so on. It all depends on your imagination, you can build anything.
Interior decoration.

Children's house ideas

Below is a list of ideas for building a wooden children's house. If you do not want to spend time drawing up your own house, creating drawings, ideas, and so on, you can use one of these options.

Tent house

This idea implies the construction of a children's house in the style of primitive people... That is, the style of the Indians, Robinsons or nomads will be used here.

If you choose to build a house according to this idea, in addition to a tree, you will need a lot of fabric, branches, and also shrubs.

The Hobbit House

Many of us are familiar with the novel of the same name by John Ronald Ruel Tolkien “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings”. It was after the appearance of the film adaptation of these books that many people met the forest dwellers, who are also called the Hobbits.

It is the house of one of these forest dwellers that this idea proposes to build. Moreover, after the construction of such a building, you can really completely plunge into the fairy-tale world of Tolkien.

House-ship

This option is best suited for young pirate pirates and long-distance sailors. This the idea involves the construction of any kind of ship with my own hands... To better understand how such a children's house made of wood will look like, you can familiarize yourself with many photos.

Development of a plan for a children's house made of wood

Before drawing up a detailed construction plan, as well as a drawing, it is necessary to take into account the mandatory features of such a structure:

the house must be mobile and stationary;
the presence of at least two windows. Firstly, this is necessary so that the house has good lighting during the day. Also, do not forget that such a structure is being made specifically for a child who needs an eye and an eye. In this case, the windows will perform the tracking function;
the height from floor to ceiling must be at least half a meter. But don't make rooms too high;
doors are recommended to be made directly to the ceiling, that is, to the height of the entire house. Not only that the child should calmly enter his home, but do not forget that sooner or later you yourself will be invited to visit him;
in order to completely get rid of the possibility of unnecessary injury to the child, the walls of the house must be smooth;
not worth building flat roofsince it can attract a child, sooner or later he will decide to climb on it, which will increase the risk of injury.

Children's house drawing

Regarding the drawing of a children's house in the country, you have there are two options: either sketch a sketch of the circuit yourself, or use a ready-made option.

If you are well versed in drawing up drawings, and you are also not too lazy to engage in this craft, then feel free to choose the first option. If you want to use a ready-made drawing that a specialist worked on, then it's very simple, since you can find a lot of such options on the Internet.

It is worth remembering that the drawing for the construction of a children's house in the country is being done in order to correctly calculate all materialsto be used during construction. This will help not only save materials, but also correctly calculate their dimensions and produce a blank.

DIY tools and materials for construction

Here is a list of all the tools you need to build a small wooden house for your child:

Also, of course, you will need materials, without which it is impossible to create a cozy house for a child in the country. Of the materials that you may need:

Beam for the frame. We recommend choosing a bar with a cross section of about 50 x 50.
Lumber for house cladding.
Plywood more than 8 mm thick. You can use OSB. The second option is cheaper, but, as a result, less durable. It all depends on your capabilities and desires.
Roofing material for the roof.
Brick.
Glass for windows. It is worth remembering here that this material is quite unsafe, so it is best to completely eliminate the presence of glass in a house in the country. However, if you are confident in your child, you can also use glass.

Construction process

Now that you have completely figured out all the details, created the drawings, found the material, carried out all the necessary calculations, you can go to the dacha.

The entire construction process can be divided into several stages, each of which is very important:

Foundation construction.
House floor construction.
Walls and frame.
Roof.

Foundation

Of course, it is worth remembering that you are building an ordinary orphanage in the country, and not a serious house for permanent residence. Therefore, the construction of the foundation for the orphanage can be approached a little easier without flooding it.

In order for the house in the country for your child to serve as long as possible, it is best to dig about 10 cm of soil and lay it with a brick. You can, of course, also take advantage of the special terrace board however, this option will be extremely costly.

If you are looking for an idea that is most budgetary and simple, use bricks.

Floor, walls and frame

It is better to approach the construction of the floor with all seriousness. There are 2 options here:

Using lags and floorboards.
Using plywood or OSB.

At the corners of the foundation, it is necessary to dig holes in which the beams will be installed. This will be the support of the wall. Do not forget that before placing the timber in the ground, it is necessary to correctly approach the process of its processing.

For a stronger construction you can use a metal corner... After placing all the corners of the timber in the ground, you can sew up the frame with boards or plywood of your choice.

There are also options for houses that cannot be built without supports.

Roof

The beginning of the process of building a roof must be done separately from the orphanage itself in the country. The first step is to make the fronts. Here it is recommended to use the same bar, which was used during the construction of the frame.

It is necessary to install two triangles at the edges of the house, after which boards, OSB or plywood are sewn. More than two triangles can be installed if required. It depends on the size of the house.

Do not forget about roofing materialthat overlays on top of everything. Some professionals use a thatched roof.

In general, you can choose any option, but do not forget that the roof should never be used by your child as a playground. If the safety of the heir is important to you, take this issue seriously.

So, as you may have noticed, building a wooden house for children in the country with your own hands is a very simple craft that any self-respecting father can afford.

Using the universal construction principle given in this article, you can build any simple building for a child. The main thing is your imagination.

Each child needs their own personal space where they can play, dream or just have fun with friends. You can build a playhouse from scrap materials, fulfilling the cherished desire of your child.

First of all, consult with your child and listen to his wishes: someone will like the house complex with bunk bed, someone wants to play in a hut, and someone can even build a tree house or in the yard - there are a lot of options, but they need to be weighed against their own capabilities.

Playhouse for children from a cardboard box

The easiest and cheapest option is to make a play house for children. The main thing is to pick up a dense and large cardboard box, for example, from under the refrigerator or washing machine... Windows and doors are cut through with the help of a clerical knife, a roof is made from glued pieces of thick cardboard. It is better to draw the design of the future house on paper: if the child is already old enough, you can ask him to help decorate his own house.

The joints in the box must be carefully glued with tape so that the structure does not fall apart during use. The junction of the doors and windows with the walls must also be fixed with tape or woven tape, otherwise the cardboard will tear very quickly. As for the decor, you can use paints and pencils, creating fantasy drawings with the whole family, pasting the walls with old wallpaper, colored stickers, colored paper appliques and so on. Inside the house, you can even hang mini curtains and put a rug to keep your child from freezing.

You can also make more complex architectural forms: use only a frame, and make a porch, a roof and even some furniture from separate pieces of cardboard. A whole palace can be made from several large boxes, and if the joints are properly strengthened, the structure will be foldable. Large boxes are cut at the side joints, and then the corners are glued with wide masking tape. Furniture in the house can be made “built-in” (gluing the table to the walls, and making chairs from small folding boxes).

Playhouse-hut

For play, you can sew a small tent or hut from fabric. We need a frame and an old sheet or bedspread. The hut can be collapsible or stationary, so it is suitable for a child's room of any size. The basis will be long wooden beams or PVC pipes (5 pieces), 1.7-1.8 meters long, they can be purchased at any hardware store. The bars are sanded and painted so that the child does not accidentally scratch or drive a splinter. From planks or strong wire we make a base in the form of a pentahedron, attach a bar to each corner, and then assemble it into a bundle from above and tie it tightly with a rope or wire.

We cut out the sheet in the form of a semicircle with a small hole; it can be fixed on the frame with ties. You should put a soft rug or mattress on the floor, and put it inside desk lamp or lampshade.

We are offering to you step-by-step master class another hut, which you can do with your own hands, without much effort. To do this, you will need 3 round bars, 4 wooden strips for the frame, a pencil, a drill, a tape measure, a fabric for decoration, threads, scissors.

At first, it would be good to make at least an approximate drawing of a wooden house: it is one thing if it is a shelter for one child, another if for a group of friends.

From the top and bottom edges of each of the 4 planks (their length is about 160-170 cm), mark 15 or 20 cm. At the mark, we drill holes for round bars. The planks must be placed in pairs in a row to check that the holes match.

After that, you can sew the canvas (its length should exceed the height of the house by 10-15 cm). In the lower edges of the canvas, we leave holes into which round bars will be inserted. You can also envisage special fasteners (loops, elastic bands, Velcro), but this is more troublesome. By the way, it is better to choose a light, translucent fabric, then it will transmit more light.

You can start assembling the orphanage. We insert the lower edges of the round bars into the canvas, fix them well on top with wire, a large self-tapping screw or rope. We put a mattress, pillows, rug inside the house so that it is cozy and comfortable in it at any time of the year.

By the way, a gymnastic hoop may well become the basis of a small tent, but such a tent is mainly attached to the ceiling with a metal hook. You can equip a hut simply on a wire frame. To do this, we make a rectangle, and then cover it with fabric. You can decorate "windows" with curtains, decorate the frame with colored applications, make a folding door, shelves for toys. Of course, such a design will take up enough space, but your child will really like it.

Here are some more interesting variations of children's houses. The easiest is to make a small dome over the bed that can be removed at night and installed as needed. The canopy can be made on flexible arches from an unnecessary camping tent or an old development mat.

In the garden from the net you can make a basis for weaving plants, as a result, a pretty decent hut for a summer residence is formed.

Some craftsmen manage to make a house even from plastic bottlesby gluing them together. Of course, a friendly company will not fit in such a house, but for one child it is quite a suitable solution!

Corner complex for children's games

You can build a whole complex for children by placing it in the corner of the room. For this from wooden slats making a frame.

Walls can be made of plywood or drywall sheets screwed to the frame with self-tapping screws. Steps are best made of wood or metal sheets, they can withstand heavy loads.

The floor on the "second floor" is better made of chipboard, the whole structure will be supported by self-tapping screws or bolts.

Outside, we sew the house with plasterboard. If desired, you can even conduct wiring inside or limit yourself to one stationary lamp (table lamp).

From three bars we make a base for the railing, on which we stuff boards so that the house becomes not only beautiful, but also safe.

Now we arm ourselves with paints and paint the children's corner. The steps and floor can be covered with carpet.

Wooden play houses for children in the country

To build a small but cozy house for games you will need: 6 boards 1.8x2.4 m with a section of 50x75 mm, 4 processed beams, 1.8 m long, with a section of 10x10 cm, 6 beams, 2.4 m long (section 5x10 cm ), 1 bar, 2.4 m long, 50x75 mm, 1 bar 2.4 m long, 25x75 mm, 1 roll of roofing material, 1 box of 75 mm screws, 2 boxes of 30 mm screws, roofing nails, wood stain, thin planks ... You will also need a tool: a hydraulic level, a rammer, a shovel, a hammer, a screwdriver, a beater, a circular saw, a stationery knife, a paint brush.

Of course, ideally, it would be nice to make a minimal foundation of rubble, but you can just level the soil surface. Bars 100x100 mm need to be cut into equal parts (choose the length yourself), the distance between the two posts should be 1.4-1.5 meters.
