Panel as roofing on playhouse

[Fredrik_Smedsgard]

It might be a bit silly. But it will probably last several years at least.
So that's how you should do it.

Yes, there's probably barely any other way, right?
I'm going to have a "furnished" playhouse.
The one in the pictures doesn't matter if water runs straight through it.

I'm going to have a "decorated" playhouse.

Why can't you put some battens and nail the panel into it?
Isn't it just a matter of covering/integrating a piece of panel into the gable side?
You can have a horizontal sloping batten behind the paper that directs the water to one of the ends (or middle) and lets it out there?

Why can't you add some battens and nail the panel to them?

Yes, I can do that.
But I think if water runs on the roofing felt, it will run into the wall when there's no eaves with a gutter.

Do as you planned, but extend the cardboard over the standing wall panel and hide it with the ceiling panel.

Do as you planned, but pull the cardboard out over the standing wall panel and hide it with the ceiling panel.

That could be done!
or use battens and lay eaves flashing...

Thanks for the tips and advice!

Why not let the roofing felt go down inside the wall panel in one piece? And of course, a little air gap in between. Or let the water come out through a hole in the wall? On the gable?

Something I've understood over the years (through fixing old design errors) is that if wood just gets to dry out and doesn't stay wet all the time, it can hold up for a long time.

Am I not causing more trouble by getting moisture inside the wall?
I will have vertical paneling, so it will likely be set on a horizontal batten against the framework.
But then the moisture ends up there instead...
