Advice on levelling ground for a childs playhouse.

Why not just stand it on 8 bricks? 64 square feet of gravel (to a depth of 4"?) seems like a lot of work for no real benefit. Your posts will rot without a good circulation of air

Also gravel is a nightmare to walk on if it's more than a couple of inches deep.

Personally, after having gravel in a few spots round the back garden, I wouldn't ever use gravel again if kids are around. They all love it, but it ends up everywhere, and not just a few bits here and there, buckets full of the stuff in the grass, across the patio, everywhere.

I agree, Get some cheap concrete paving slabs or concrte blocks and dig them in to 'level'

Thats what I did..its been fine.

Thats the way I'd go, and then use slates (or frame packers) to pack up the gaps and make all nice and level. I might put the pricks on some large thick paving slabe if the ground was soft.

Right, I think I will go for the brick solution. Luckily I have a pile new bricks to hand. I will report back with the result, for future reference, when done.
