If you have been thinking about building or buying an outdoor playhouse for your kids or a business, finding the right structure is the first part of such a fun project. Fortunately, small metal buildings can make a great choice for a number of reasons. In this blog, we’ll talk about why you might want to go with a metal building for this project and what other touches you can add to bring the whole thing to life.
When you are ready to get started on this project and want to order a custom metal building from a reliable supplier, American Carports, Inc. is the easy choice.

Picking Your Metal Building for a Playhouse
Metal structures are the easy choice because, for one thing, they are easy to customize. You’ll need to dial in the design of this building just right for it to serve as a playhouse, and that’s easy when you order from us. Whether you want to create a rather small structure or something a bit larger, ordering from American Carports, Inc. can make it happen. We have lots of choices from sheds, to garages, to custom builds.
You’ll also love the durability of your metal building once you receive your order and have it constructed on your property. Kids aren’t always gentle with their things, but there won’t be any worries when metal is your chosen material. And, unlike a wood building, metal isn’t prone to rotting or warping, meaning you can expect this structure to look great years from now.
Design a Custom Building Playhouse
Making sure your building is practical is a good starting point, but it won’t really be a playhouse until you add some personality to the space and make it inviting for your kids to explore. Your steps toward adding personality can take many different forms, including the ideas below –
- Bright interior paint. You are under no obligation to play it safe with the color of your new metal playhouse. Go ahead and paint it a bright color, and pick out shades that you know your kids will love. Depending on the age of the kids, you might even be able to involve them in the process.
- Add fun features inside. With bright paint in place, take the next step and add some elements like rugs, beanbags, pillows, shelves, a reading nook, sensory lights, busy boards, ceiling swings, climbing frames, tents, and more.
- Consider a theme. To tie everything about your playhouse together, you could opt for a specific theme that will speak to your children. For instance, they might be into dinosaurs or outer space, and you can use what they are already passionate about to guide your design choices. If possible, add your themed elements in a way that will be easy to undo later when their interests inevitably evolve and become pointed in another direction. After all, this project could go from playhouse to teen hangout easily.
Make Safety a Top Priority
No matter what you decide to add to your playhouse, it’s important to make sure the structure is completely safe for kids. You can take some basic steps toward safety by covering up any sharp corners in the building and providing some ventilation, so the space stays fresh and comfortable. But the best way to make sure a structure is safe is to choose a reliable team like American Carports, Inc, to build a custom shell that will last for many years.
You should also consider securing the building to the ground so it won’t move during a storm. This is a good idea not only from a safety perspective but also to protect the building and keep it in good shape for years to come.
