Does One Need A Building Permit for Kids Playhouse?
You should always be informed to what your by-laws are in your area and what the parameters are for your kid’s playhouse. Otherwise you could be faced with more expenses then you expected. This article touches on playhouse permit topic and talks about the author briefly.
Most jurisdictions don't require you to have a building permit for a
kid’s playhouse as long as the building is around 110sqft or less. I
would still recommend you contact your local office and check to see
what the legal limits are for your area (zoning / permits). In Canada
check your local municipality office, they will guide you through
everything, just remember all information about your proposed playhouse.
This is why in the earlier article; I said that it is important to plan
where you want to put the outside playhouse. Never listen to anyone
that says it doesn't matter where you put it because months down the
road you will be wishing I should have put here! You can move after but
why the headache. In most cases obtaining a permit is very simple.

Now
measure along the line 3 feet from the first stake A, and mark the
string at this point. From stake A, run a second line perpendicular to
the first. Measure out 4 feet to locate point C. If this second line is
exactly at a right angle to the first, the diagonal line between A &
C will be 5 feet. If not, move point C left or right until the diagonal
measures 5 feet and stake that point.

Authors Brief
My name is Gary
Whipple I have about 16 years in residential carpentry experience, with
about 4 years in home renovations. Directly because of knee problems I
am limited to do carpentry on a full time basis, but it’s nice that I
get to enjoy carpentry every so often. After this I pursued my post
secondary education in the sciences, where I received a degree in
Forestry Renewal.
Later on I went to college for Structural drafting
and design (Auto Cad) this enhanced my experiences as a carpenter and in
already design experience. I free lance draft and design now. I draw or
build anything from a house, barn to a playhouse. I also write articles
as a hobby.
I am very familiar with a lot of the software out
there, and there is a lot of it. I like to use this software to design
my own projects with my family, which there is nothing in the world more
gratifying, You don't have to be good at using computers. If you have
the right software it makes it very easy for everybody to use, so don't
get hung up on that please don't! Just worry about making it a family
project.
I hope you build a wooden playhouse because I enjoyed
building a one with my children very much. With a small job like this
you will see the rewards quickly.
To sum up the true importance
is to make a “kids outdoor playhouse” a family project, because the
kid(s) will take personal pride in it; especially if they know they
contributed to the construction of it. They will learn a thing or two
from the kids playhouse project as well, and its good quality time spent
with the kid(s). They will remember it for the rest of their lives and
take refuge every time life throws them a curve ball later on in their
life.
