Hey, we use some decking screws to attach the walls and railing.

My wife and I have started building our own, both flooring decks have been laid and we have painted it to protect it along the way…..thats the issue with English weather!
We are about to start planning the framing but I wanted to ask what it is you have used to attach the first floor posts (for the railings) to the deck and what you have used to fix the walls to the deck too? Did you use post base fixings? If you could send me a close up image that would be superb and greatly appreciated.
Last note, thank you for sharing this you have inspired us and our 3 girls are going to love this for years!

Hey, You can adjust the levels to whatever height you’d like or just let them bend over a little like they are in a cave. haha. As far as suggestions for building it into a hillside we don;t really have any except to pay attention to your footers/post being level and to give enough clearance for water run off.

It looks like each level is 5’3″ high, is that correct? I want something my taller 12 year old can enjoy into her teens with her much younger siblings and I am wondering if that would be too small – how did your teen niece fit? Also, we are planning to build into a hillside – any suggestions (or followers’ ideas) regarding that obstacle? Thank you!

Thank you so much. I figured out the front wall with the window.

What is the point of the 6” boards? Why do we need them on the front wonder wall and the front 20” wall?

Hey Mike.

It’s actually assuming you already built the sidewalls and understand that the 44-inch piece will frame the top and bottom of the window like the two side walls already built. I hope that help so.

I’m struggling with the front wall.

A portion of the instructions are missing. The following sentence never ends:

Now simply take your (2) 44-inch pieces and place them…

Can you refresh the webpage with the missing info or provide in comments?
