If applied correctly it will work.Though at the least you should put a layer of tar paper down on top of the plywood. What is the pitch of the roof? You may need a better underlayment such as stormguard.
Also keep in mind if the roofing nails penetrate the plywood (as they should) your daughter may hit her head on them if it is not finished out inside.I'm building a playhouse for my daughter....can i make the roof from plywood and nail shingles to it?
That is virtual what a house is like. Contractors use plywood or OSB material and put shingles on it. Be careful of valleys and edges and the ridge of the roof. You will need a different shingle to make that line.
If the roof is slanted to provide rain runoff, and you use, tar paper under the shingles, it should work fine. Flat roofs collect rain, shingles will leak. It isnt too difficult, or expensive. Good luck
Sure, but don't forget the tar paper and make sure the nails are short enough that they don't go through the plywood that she could get hurt by them. Have fun. I love building.
Plywood then tar paper then shingles that's the order for them to be installed just like it was done on a house.
I hope she enjoys the play house
