Pallets Playhouse

Pallets Playhouse

This is my first big DIY project for our little girls. I'm a computer specialist but very interested in DIY and reusing old/unused items. I'm posting this instructable to inspire others to reuse materials and create something beautiful. English isn't my mother language so if I describe something the wrong way, feel free to ask me to explain.


This project did cost me about € 150 since I did buy screws, roofing, paint and Plexiglas (acrylic glass, since it's safer for the kids). All other materials pallet planks and different sizes of beams thrown away by factories.


Time, supplies and tools used are personal, since this can vary from person to person. I worked on this project before and after work with the materials i got from the factories and hobby tools.


The playhouse is 260 cm x 260 cm (102.4 inch x 102.4 inch). I hope you enjoy this instructable.


Step 1: Drawing the Playhouse Plan



Every project needs a plan. I've used Google Sketchup to draw a plan of the playhouse with the right dimensions and printed it so I could build it step by step without having to measure it all while working on it. This step is optional because not everyone likes to put time into creating it on a computer.


Step 2: Pallet Break Apart


Break apart all the pallets and remove any nails, screws, staples, ...

No, the factory does not do this for you but for me it's worth it, seeing the result in the end.


I've used a big flat screwdriver to break apart the pallets but you can use a crowbar aswell.

The screws are removed with a powerd screwdriver, the nails with a hammer and the staples with a flat screwdriver.
