I've been looking at a lot of plans for building playhouses on stilts.Many of them involve just making a sturdy box with 4x4 uprights, like this one. Others put them on cement footings like a deck, like this one.Is there a significant difference in terms of stability, for a structure roughly 5-6' across and deep, and 3-4' off the ground?Are there good calculators for working out the load-bearing capabilities of such a structure?Finally, what sorts of city/state regulations should I be aware of, if building a small playhouse on concrete footings?
