8x10 playhouse for kids question
Had been planning on an 8x8 playhouse and doing a 6x8 house on it with 2 foot porch. Today looked at it in the yard actually and both the house being 6 foot and porch being 2 foot seem smaller to me than I had planned for so want to switch to 8x10 now and do a 7 foot house depth and a 3 foot porch area. Questions are, been planning to use 2x6s for the outer rim joist. Had read and seen here that that was fine for that size of house. Is that still The case if I switch to 8x10? Or do I need to switch to 2x8 boards since I’d be going 10 foot long now? And IF SO, can my inner floor joists still the 2x6 even if my outer joists are 2x8? May be confusion, hopefully not, I’d appreciate any help! Thank you! submitted by /u/WalkerTejasRanger [link] [comments]
