Description

Dear old school days are back again with the Little Cottage 8x10 Wood Stratford Schoolhouse Playhouse. Your child will love playing school in the comfort and safety of her own backyard; this charming, durably built playhouse is also a wonderful clubhouse for gatherings with friends. This unit arrives in a ready-to-assemble kit, and features almost everything you need to complete the project with ease. The nostalgic, "little red schoolhouse" design is a charming addition to any backyard as well.

This playhouse is available in your choice of configurations. Please note that if you purchase the Playhouse without a floor kit, then you must supply your own materials for the interior floor. When completed, the house measures approximately 10W x 8D x 10H feet (height measured from the tip of the cupola). Kits include:

• 2x3 wood wall framing
• 2x4 wood trusses
• Siding and trim pre-fastened to wall panels
• Panelized pre-cut walls for easy assembly
• 8 working Plexiglass windows with screens and aluminum frames
• Child's Dutch door in front (20W x 40H inches)
• Adult's Dutch door on side (34W x 61H inches)
• Porch roof over child door
• White aluminum outside corner trim
• Primed siding and trim - ready to paint
• Cupola with bell
• Assembly hardware
• Link to full-color downloadable instruction manual

The Schoolhouse Playhouse is constructed from LP Smart Side wood, which is a popular building material thanks to its durability and low environmental impact. Solid, yet lightweight enough for easy handling, the pieces of this house 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.

This playhouse does not include paint, shingles, or dripedge (roof edging).

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.
