    i am thinking of making funhouse for my daughters birthday.
    i want to build something like 2x2m,floor about 1.5m of the ground,with sand box on the ground below
    i have all the tools.but havent got a clue about timber prices
    i have seen that you can get "ok" playhouse delivered from uk for about 500 euro.donedeal ons are about 1000 for good one.

    so buy it or build it?

    It really depends on your skill level and whether you think you will enjoy the build or see it as a chore. I'm intending to build mine from scratch.

    You won't be long spending 500 quid on making on. And the plus your time and things like that if you can get them from UK for that money all In. It's a bit of a no brainer.

    Haven said that I'd make my own but I e access to as much timber as I need so that's the main reason I would.

    Free woodworking plans.com Everything from furniture to timber frame house plans. Or YouTube. Like 1 of the lads said " if you have the skill and time" and if you've got younger kids to pass it onto then build a quality one yourself.
