2086 - Freestanding Tree House - Keep your kids busy all summer long with this combination fort and play structure.

As a freestanding model, it can be built almost anywhere. The play structure is made mostly from cedar, or pressure treated wood, and features a slide, ladder, swing, jungle gym and sandbox. Build only those options that suit your budget and your needs.

As illustrated, the play structure stands seven-feet tall and covers an area 12-feet long and seven-feet wide. But, don't let the size of the project fool you -- our detailed 32-page plan will help you to complete the structure in record time.

Included are easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, detailed cutting and assembly diagrams, as well as full-size patterns for the trim and contour pieces.

Also, we've included an extensive section of tips and techniques on woodworking, roofing and concrete footings. And, since all but a couple of the woodcuts are straight cuts, anyone with basic tools can tackle the project with just a few weekends' work. You'll also save a bundle when compared to building those ready-to-assemble kits you'll find at most home centers.

Besides, when finished, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing your child will enjoy a play structure that has been truly well built. Pattern No. 2086.
