DIY - Build Your Kids a Play Castle
Do your kids want a tree house? No big trees in your yard? Try this alternative when your kids are little.
Unfortunately, I don't have any large trees in my yard. I have two younger trees that are about 15-20 feet in high so I have not really considered my kids requests. But that recently changed. With a little imagination, I came up with a design for a deck that I would call a "castle" built around a very pretty Amur Maple that lives on a small hill in my backyard.
The kids loved the idea of having a castle to play in. But they also wanted it to have towers, a slide, a plank, and it's own fairy garden (Because what castle doesn't have a fairy garden, right?).

My son has been thinking of building some sort of playhouse type thing for his daughter. This is a great inspiration!!

Have a question about this project?
I would love to do this for the little ones at my church. I would like to know about what to expect it to cost in material. A ball park figure would suffice. Thank you.
Kyle maybe ask your local building supply store they may donate some of the supplies being it is for the church playground.
Are there plans for this somewhere? Would love to make it but don't see the plans anywhere.
