Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle! Upcycling materials for useful projects is most fulfilling. In this case the ground work foundation was laid with old pallets and the 2 X4's were pulled from an old building that was torn down. The tarpaper and shingles were left over from when I put a new roof on my house. Pallets are easy to come by and pull apart. I was actually able to obtain a bunch of nails when I pulled them apart as well. A couple of them I had to straighten with my hammer on a flat surface.
Sorry for the horrific music. I was messing around on my acoustic and seemed like a good idea at the time to use it as a soundtrack. Most pallet projects are made to look a little rough so you can make most of them with standard electric and hand tools.
This playhouse was a joy to build. It got a lot of use by mine and the neighborhood kids. Once they grew out of it, it became a chicken coup that held numerous chickens that layed us many many fresh eggs. I even ended up making some egg laying boxes out of pallets for the chickens.
Once the chickens were gone it became a lawn and garden shed where I stored all my oils, gas, paint, tools, yard tools, etc. If you like pallet projects check out my youtube channel as I have a ton of DIY pallet projects.
If, after watching my DIY pallet playhouse construction video, you don't want to build one yourself, than maybe you can purchase one of the below.
