We present our idea for a garden house for kids with a sloping roof. It looks a bit like old “Brda” type Polish summer houses. Initially, our plan assumed that the side of the house would be even more open. But during construction, one by one we gave up on further quirks 😅
The house has two sloping walls made of plexiglass and a back wall made of boards. There is no front at all and there is free entry. There is no floor either, it stands on artificial grass.
We covered one of the walls with colored foil, thanks to which the sun creates a colorful mosaic inside. Sticking the foil turned out to be quite difficult and there are a lot of air bubbles, but you can’t see it from a distance 😂.

Materials used
- Wood beams
- Polycarbonate
- Wood screws
- Transparent self-adhesive foil – I used ORACAL 8300 foil. I bought it in Polish online store, however I got hint in our social media that it is also available here. I used 8 sheets of 100cm x 50cm in colors: 32 Lightred, 97 Bluegreen, 41 Pink, 40 Violet, 56 Iceblue, 21 Yellow, 24 Orange, 63 Limetree green
The next stages of creating our garden house
Kids’ grandfather helped us build the house, so we don’t have detailed photos of each stage. Grandpa built the structure, we painted it and covered the polycarbonate roof with colored foil.

Nothing gives more satisfaction than doing something yourself. I haven’t even thought about DIY as my hobby, I’ve just done different “projects” when it was needed. Sometimes it’s a disguise for the Masquerade Party in kindergarten. Another time, cutting out the pumpkin and baking the witch’s fingers for Haloween. Or simply organizing holiday souvenirs. Now I decided to share my realizations with you. Let’s go it together!
