These days, children have become much more sedentary than previous generations. Some of the reasons for this have been the widespread availability of video games (ie Wii, PS3, etc), the Internet and even remote controls have all played a part in keeping kids from exercising. One of the best ways to get kids outside and KEEP them outside (besides locking the doors!) is to construct a playhouse for them, and the best choice is to build a wooden playhouse.
Now why would one choose wood as the material? The main reason is the durability wood has over materials like metal (which can rust over time) and plastic (can degrade in the sun if not UV protected). If properly protected, a wooden playhouse can last for decades! Do you have active kids with great imaginations? A wooden construction can easily withstand all the punishment kids can dish out over the years.
Another reason is the environmental one. If the wood eventually rots, it is merely returned to the soil, or it can be cut up and used for other purposes (firewood anyone?).
When assembling the playhouse, working with wood can be much easier than trying to drill through metal. Working with plastics can also be a bit messy. Wood also has the advantage that it can be easily cut to size. Although other materials can be cut as well, it is far easier to properly finish a piece of wood than a piece of plastic or metal
What if you move house? A wooden playhouse, if properly constructed, can be easily disassembled and reassembled numerous times. Being able to disassemble the wooden playhouse and reassemble in the new home might be the quickest way of getting the kids more comfortable with the new surroundings.
In all, although there are advantages to constructing a playhouse with other materials, such as metal or plastics, the advantages for wood outweigh it's perceived disadvantages. When thinking about building your kids' playhouse, choosing wood for the main building material is the most logical choice.
