Inspire hours of safe, creative play in your little one by giving her the Little Cottage 8x12 Wood Gingerbread Playhouse. You'll love the durable construction of this high-quality, spacious wood house, which features weatherproof construction, easy-to-assemble pieces complete with full-color instructions, and a variety of options available. The country-inspired gingerbread style will be a charming addition to any backyard as well.
For years of durable performance, this playhouse is constructed from LP Smart Side, which is known for its durability, resistance to weather, and its low environmental impact. The pieces are then treated with SmartGuard finishing, 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.
The Gingerbread Playhouse is available with your choice of configurations (the photo shown above shows all available components). Please note that if you choose the version that includes the deck, you must supply three 4 x 4-foot posts for under-floor support. Also note that if you choose a version that does not include a floor kit, you must install an interior floor in the playhouse separately.

- 2x3 wood wall framing
- 2-foot curved wood trusses
- Siding and gingerbread trim pre-fastened to wall panels
- Panelized, pre-cut wall panels
- 2 working Plexiglass windows with screens and aluminum frames (14 x 21 inches each)

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.
