building a shed for children

Here are downloadable plans for a children's shed. The shed is made from wood panels and floorboards. The frame is made of wood battens. The shed is 6 ft (almost 1.8 m) high and covers 36 sq. ft. (about 3.35 sq. m.). You can add shutters and a door. This children's shed might provide inspiration for a bigger one, but in this case, you will need to brace the panels and apply all basic construction rules in terms of safety, ventilation, and so on. You can use, of course, reuse materials you may already have - leftover wood from DIY projects, pallets, Masonite hardboard, even cardboard. Check that the materials you use do not give off solvent emissions. Be wary of pre-treated or varnished floorboards; instead, choose safe finishes such as a linseed oil and turpentine mixture or an ecological finishing paint or stain.
