That specific playhouse I know is 5x5, but that is the biggest one that I have been able to find. I'd need to think about how long the swing part is....I promised my parents that any setup I would make wouldn't be longer than 12 feet...width tbd, but probably about 5-6 feet. I'd have the coop in the big frame, with run space under it. I am wondering....would I actually save money on wood by doing this? I'd be spending $200-$300, minus whatever I can sell swings and slides for. I have a continuous debate going in my head: convert or build?The plastic playhouse things are often quite small.
The "house" part of a big play structure is often small, too.
In my eyes, the major value of the big swing set-type toy is that big triangular frame: cover it with hardware cloth, add some perches at several different levels, and you've got a really nice run that you can go inside too. Add a tarp or roof to deal with rain/snow, and be sure there's shade in the summer (trees or roof/tarp.)
