Featured on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition! The Little Cottage 8x10 Wood Firehouse Playhouse offers the ultimate in creative play for your child. Constructed for years of enjoyment, this playhouse comes to you in a kit, which includes all the important things required for easy assembly. Your child will love watching the house come to life and helping pick out the paint colors. You'll love the fact that this spacious playhouse is filled with charming details, like realistic fire signs, a fire bell, and a working window. It's durably built, too, from LP Smart Side, a hugely popular wood in the building industry for a variety of reasons. LP Smart Side is environmentally sound, with low pollution production, and is highly renewable. It's also treated with care using a SmartGuard finish, which uses zinc borates to resist rot and mold while minimizing chemical use and pollutant output. Because LP Smart Side is so strong and safe, the playhouse pieces are covered by a 50-year limited warranty from LP.
Please note that this playhouse is available in a variety of configurations ... order simply the house structure itself, or the structure along with extra features like a deck with railing or a chimney. If you purchase an option that does not include a floor kit, then you must supply the interior flooring for the house. Also note that the configurations that include a deck require you to supply three 4 x 4-foot pressure-treated posts beneath the floor for extra support.

Our DIY playhouse kits are designed for easy assembly. Unless otherwise noted, they should require an average of two adults working four to eight hours to complete. Panelized walls, pre-cut pieces, and alphabetized labels help make the process simple, as does the downloadable full-color instruction manual (link provided with your purchase).
When assembling your playhouse, please make sure to choose a level area for installation. We recommend an area that is covered in crushed stone, patio block, or concrete, in order to form a base for the playhouse. However, because the playhouse bases are made from treated lumber, they can be placed directly on the ground. If you do decide to prepare a base for your playhouse, make sure it measures 1 foot wider than the house itself on all sides.
If you are interested in moving your playhouse to another location in the future, you should purchase and install 4 x 4 runners before completing assembly. Once runners are in place, the playhouse can be moved by your local tow truck company with the use of a flatbed and a winch. If you are simply moving the playhouse across the yard, you can do so with heavy wall PVC piping. Call Little Cottage Co. at 330-893-4212 for more information and assistance.
