Timber Joints

[stevenrafferty]

I am planning to build the boy a timber fort/playhouse - figure I can do just as good a job as they kits the big sheds sell

Main questions is that I was planning to use half joints (not sure if this is quite the right wording) to make the main joins and then bolt at the join to make it secure.

Is this the best method? or anyone with better suggestions?

thanks

More than adequate. I used to work for a firm which made heavy-duty climbing frames and most of them were just bolted together with M12 bolts.
