Description

Bring the classic charm of Cape Cod architecture home with the Little Cottage 6x8 Wood Cape Cod Playhouse. This high-quality playhouse is designed for years of imaginative play, and is sure to delight your child. It can be used as a hideaway, a place for fun creative games, or even as a clubhouse with friends. Your child will love having a space to call his or her own, and you'll love its safe, durable construction and attractive appearance, which is an asset to your backyard.

This playhouse is built from LP Smart Side, which is a wood building material known for its durability, resistance to weather, and its low environmental impact. The pieces are treated with SmartGuard finishing, which uses zinc borates to resist rot and mold while minimizing chemical use and pollutant output. Because LP Smart Side is so strong and safe, the playhouse pieces are covered by a 50-year limited warranty from LP.

Your playhouse arrives ready to assemble, along with almost everything you need to build it quickly and easily. Choose your own paint colors and spend quality time with your child bringing this house to life ... it couldn't be easier thanks to the downloadable full-color manual provided with purchase.

Assembly

Our DIY playhouse kits are designed for easy assembly. Unless otherwise noted, they should require an average of two adults working four to eight hours to complete. Panelized walls, pre-cut pieces, and alphabetized labels help make the process simple, as does the downloadable full-color instruction manual (link provided with your purchase).

When assembling your playhouse, please make sure to choose a level area for installation. We recommend an area that is covered in crushed stone, patio block, or concrete, in order to form a base for the playhouse. However, because the playhouse bases are made from treated lumber, they can be placed directly on the ground. If you do decide to prepare a base for your playhouse, make sure it measures 1 foot wider than the house itself on all sides.

If you are interested in moving your playhouse to another location in the future, you should purchase and install 4 x 4 runners before completing assembly. Once runners are in place, the playhouse can be moved by your local tow truck company with the use of a flatbed and a winch. If you are simply moving the playhouse across the yard, you can do so with heavy wall PVC piping. Call Little Cottage Co. at 330-893-4212 for more information and assistance.
