    We made a basement playground for our kids out of 2x4s and plywood!
    They love it! Check out how we built it in this video. Plans for this playhouse are here - ana-white.com/2015/03/free_pla... Enjoy! Ana

    When I took my 6 year old to play park today it was too cold. When I returned home I realized our living room is rarely used. so better to convert it into a play area...
    Searched CZcams, once again you inspire me....
    Thanks. I will post mine once I get it done.

    Once again, you two knocked it out of the park! The design is well thought out. There are so many options. It can be a fortress, lots of reading nooks, and exercise. An imaginative mind could turn that space into all sorts of adventures. This is definitely an idea to keep on file!

    I also think the fact you put so much effort and thought about this build, which is especially for your kids, shows the your kids they have a place in this house/world.

    OK, this is really cool but I wonder, is this splinter city or the never ending sanding job?

    • @leemaxwelltv
      @leemaxwelltv Před 9 lety +4

      It's not getting weathered.

    • @rafamerengues8935
      @rafamerengues8935 Před 4 lety +7

      Sanding and some PU coating will do the trick. Plus if you want to color paint minimal sanding would do.

    Even as a thirteen year old boy, I'd love this, of course I'd want no stairs or bridge and more spaces and climbing areas and more spaces in the monkey bars, you know, stuff that you could get hurt on (for a chalenge) but yeah, I might get my father to help me build a bigger modified version of this!

    Cover it with carpet pad and carpet so you don't have to worry about banged up knees and little bones hitting the hardwood and they can run and jump and play and not worry about it

  • @thomascreen9237
    @thomascreen9237 Před 4 lety

    Great job . . . very cool, but be sure to use a non toxic wood sealant like AFM's Safecoat. Off-gassing from most plywood and 2x4s is harmful.

  • @Lilysmama
    @Lilysmama Před 3 lety

    Hi Ana! Do you think this would work in a basement with a drop ceiling? It is only 6’9” tall. And if so, would you make the top ceiling lower or the “platform”/floor lower? We really want to make this for our daughter for Christmas if you think it will work :)

      My husband and I build something similar for our children, we spent a total of 1K. Well worth the money if you ask me, hours of fun for them, but we also added a slide with a ball pit at the end. Hope this helps!

    Did you secure it to the floor or walls in some way?

    • @AnaWhiteDIY

      I would reccommend tacking the exterior boards directly into studs in the wall, evenly spaced at each side of the structure.

    Brilliant! Was looking for instructions on monkey bar instructions and saw your video. We have a similar layout, but living in Texas, made it outside. Have you thought about a small rock wall? Our grandchildren are 6 and younger so thinking the perfect age to learn. Nice job!

      LOL, My wife won't help me & she told our kids not to help me with any carpentry projects.
      My wife yells at me, too, so I always have a carpentry project going on which she hates, but she won't give me sex so I keep busy by making tables or painting in the living room.
      Our house always looks like it is being remodeled.
      I just tell Ana that it takes me a long time to finish painting or building things because I don't have any help.
      My wife is also named Ana.
      I will get a divorce in 2 more years. I've only been waiting for our son to be 16 years old because that's when the judge lets the child choose with whom he wants to live with.
      Please test out all your potential boyfriends by building at least a table together.
      Don't marry him if he quits or starts yelling at you.
