What is a Childs Playhouse?
When you are looking for a childs playhouse, you should consider the type of construction that you want. A KidKraft Country Vista playhouse, for example, is a popular choice. These structures are known for their durability and are about four feet square at the base, with multiple windows, an open play area, and a counter window. Most of these structures feature a corrugated roof and are made of cedar. Some of them are even decorated to look like an enchanted forest house.
KidKraft Country Vista
The KidKraft Country Vista childs playhouse is a classic playhouse with a farmhouse-inspired look. With double doors and generously sized rounded windows, this playhouse has the right amount of farmhouse charm. It is also crafted from a warm, gray-toned wood and comes with a timeless weathervane. It is also accented with white and red accents. If your child loves country living, she'll be thrilled with her new playhouse.
LP SmartSide siding
Using LP SmartSide siding on a kid's playhouse offers many benefits, but you may be wondering whether or not it's worth the expense. Its engineered wood construction provides a long-lasting, beautiful finish that can withstand the harsh effects of the sun's amplified rays and radiant heat. It is also very easy to install.

Open design
When you buy a child's playhouse, you have several options, including a farmhouse style. Open shelves in a child's playhouse allow for more imagination and use of the items within, while open shelving also prevents potential injuries. You also need to think about what kinds of items you want to place in the playhouse. Educational toys and creative toys are good choices for a playhouse. Open shelves are also easy to clean and maintain.
Canopy roof
If your child isn't yet ready for a real roof, you can easily make one at home using a canopy roof for a childs playhouse. These roofs are lightweight and easy to build, and the fabric is less expensive than other roof materials. You can easily swap out the canopy for a different one if you want a different look for your child's playset. The canopy is typically installed over a beam and secured to the sides of the clubhouse.
Doorbell
If you want to give your kid a sense of security, you can purchase a doorbell for their playhouse. This gadget usually comes in a wireless version, and can be easily installed. All you need to do is install a push button on the door frame and install a wireless receiver on the playhouse's wall. To install a wireless doorbell, you need to make sure to purchase the correct batteries. You can check out our review page to learn more about different models.
