Painting play kiosk

[kattparet]

I've put together a kiosk made of untreated scrap wood. The idea was to see how far it would stretch. The frame consists of 6-7 cm thick pine studs screwed together with angle brackets, and tongue-and-groove boards on the outside. The plan is to place it outdoors on piers or gravel in the spring. It's currently on the terrace since the garage was a bit too cluttered.

However, I'm uncertain about how to paint it so it doesn't rot through after a year.

I'm inspired by this, among others:

So currently, it's open at the back and front.

Should I unscrew the walls and paint the studs and the inside of the walls as protection? Or is it better to install a window shutter and back that can be opened?

When you put up paneling on a house, you rarely paint the inside of the wood as far as I know, since it's seldom exposed.

I built something similar in scrap wood. A mix of untreated and pressure-treated with a roof in plywood that I painted. It held up well for a couple of years and then it wasn't fun to play kiosk anymore, so we dismantled it. Partially child labor to both build and dismantle

Congratulations - you are finished.

Your play kiosk will last long enough for both the children who are small now and their upcoming younger siblings to grow tired of it long before it starts to rot. No insulation and open both front and back. It has time to dry completely between the rains, and then there's nothing to worry about. Unless it's placed directly on the ground, of course, but in that case, just painting it won't help.

If you want to paint it for appearance's sake, I suggest you use a glaze so it can remain well-ventilated and dry out between wet periods.
