The Amish Cape Cod DIY Playhouse Kit brings a classic cottage look to your backyard and gives kids a cozy spot that feels like a home of their own. It’s built with 2x3 wood framing for both the walls and trusses, and the siding and trim come already attached to the wall panels, which helps keep things square and saves you time during assembly. Everything else comes precut, so you’re not stuck measuring and cutting your own lumber.

The playhouse features two working 14" x 21" windows with safety glass and screens, plus decorative shutters and flower boxes to bring in a little charm. Depending on the size you choose, you’ll get either two or three dormers with grid-style windows. These dormers are for looks only, but they give the roofline a polished, finished appearance.

Kids enter through a 35" high by 16" wide Dutch door, and there’s also an adult-size Dutch door on the side that measures 47" high by 24" wide. The trim is pre-primed, corner pieces come in white aluminum, and a full set of hardware is included. There’s also a clear downloadable manual with color photos to guide the build. Just pick up paint, shingles, and a drip edge locally to finish it off.
