© Suncast Corporation
Thank you for purchasing this Backyard Cottage kit. The craftsmanship and detail in this playhouse are
unmatched. We are proud to bring you this unit made by our Amish friends and neighbors.
This manual is designed to simplify the assembly process, however we strongly recommend having an
experienced carpenter involved in the project. Please read through the entire manual before start-
ing!!
It took 2 workers 4 hours to assemble this playhouse, using the tools shown in the pictures. However,
it will probably take you a little longer since it will be a new project for you. While air tools were used to
assemble much of the unit in this manual, the unit can also be assembled with screws or hand nails.
Take a deep breath and get at it, the satisfaction and enjoyment of this playhouse is only a few hours
away. Have Fun!!!!!
Remember, it is very important that you have a level site for your playhouse, and that the play-
house floor is perfectly level prior to assembling the playhouse.
Note: The playhouse depicted in this manual may show options not included in your unit.
