Cubby plan criticism
Hey guys, was just wondering if there are any glaringly obvious flaws in my initial design of a cubby house I'm planning on building soon.
As you can see, it's to be on stilts with a sand pit underneath. A step ladder will provide access from underneath to a hatch opening in the floor (ignore the dotted stairs on the side)
I guess my main question to ask is based on the fact that most elevated cubby plans/photos i've seen on this forum consist of a platform (floor) on top of corner posts, apon which the walls are erected. I had just assumed that the posts would extend up beyond the floor and double as the corners of the enclosed upper level (as i've drawn in my plan).
Are there any fundamental problems with my basic plan?
Any help much appreciated. I can't wait to build a dedicated play area for the little man.

Missing the railing for the stairs.
I would extend the roof to cover the stairs.

NO dimensions or material sizes on the drawing.
I'd consider a clear roof sheet for internal light!
The height of the handrail around the verandah?
Maybe a cross-brace on the posts?
Also you're local council may also be a "fly in the ointment",
with height restrictions.

damn. for future reference, what's the best way to upload photos directly into the thread?
for those who missed it, please take a look at FXST01's attachment 5 posts into thread. cheers FXST01.
my main query is about the corner posts, and whether they should finish at the first floor, or extend up to the roof. i only ask because every other photo/plan of elevated cubbies i've seen on this forum have the posts ending at the floor.
digging the clear roof sheet for internal lighting idea crowie.
cheers for looking people.

I reckon hosting your photos elsewhere is poor form
if for some reason that hosting ceases the photos are lost to the forum making your post here next to uselessregards
