    looks flimsy, relying on ground anchors

    Comes as standard without a roof-covering??? :confused:
    And not treated?
    And needs a concrete base anyway?

    No way I'd pay that money for 2m² + verandah & a swing.

    I'm sure there are thousands of plans available in various corners of the internet. When I built my children their playhouse, I didn't bother - just built it straight up from the ground. All done in a day (with the help of MrsCR & the two eldest). That was 25 years ago; it subsequently moved house (and country) with us, graduated to being a chicken shed after a while, and is currently "flat-packed" at the back of the garden waiting to return to service. I reckon we didn't spend more than a couple of hundred on it.

    Thanks for that. I kinda thought so but sometimes you presume something and you’re miles off. I know it’s a business for these guys but if there’s any savings to be had - which can justify the purchase of a tool that I don’t need - as well as the enjoyment of making then I’m all for it.

    That is a fact:
