ᐅ Timber House Renovation as a Hobby Project

Did you place it only on stilts, or how is it secured?

Best regards in brief

Secured? Hmm: On the right side of the sandbox, each post is fixed with 4 wood screws, 140x8 millimeters (5.5x0.3 inches), directly into the sandbox. So the entire sandbox is supported by the posts.

On the left, the two driven sleeves are each fastened with 2 carriage bolts, 110x10 millimeters (4.3x0.4 inches). We initially decided not to cast concrete.

------------------------------------------

And now for the weekend. In advance: We didn’t complete everything as planned. But what we did manage turned out well. We set the lawn edging stones in mortar, excavated a shallow trench, and laid down the weed control fabric. Gravel will be added there later.

Then I built a staircase, which I think was successful. There’s probably not much to say about the slide.

By the way, garden and playhouses are not subject to boundary construction laws

I don’t think so, Tim ;-). Generally, that is not the case. Usually, up to 9 m (30 feet) of boundary construction is allowed. The question is whether the boundary construction visible in the photos already uses up this 9 m (30 feet). In case of doubt, the laws of the respective federal state apply.

Just for the record, everything is fine here since there is no plaintiff, no judge.

Regardless of my playhouse, which I really have no issue with, I recommend this ruling if you are interested, published by attorney Kotz on his website:

Administrative Court Neustadt/Wstr.
Case No.: 4 K 25/08.NW
Judgment dated April 17, 2008

Just search for it on Google. A really interesting and sometimes amusing presentation in a case very similar to our house.

Sorry 🙂
Since our building authority does not consider our greenhouse a structural building *hehehe, I assumed incorrectly for this house 😉

You don’t have to equate secondary structures or garden sheds with main buildings :P

Oh man, the building regulations of Rhineland-Palatinate are tough to digest so early in the morning. For us, it’s regulated quite simply.
