You could prob build one at half the cost mate, i priced some bin sheds from B&Q / Argos and they worked out at £200 nearly, i built my own for the grand total of £83 (including Varnish / Stain ), and used decent wood, at half the cost, and looks 10 times better ,

Many, many years ago I built a tree house for my two. Best place I found was 'skips' or the in/out goods of some of the large industrial units. Amazing what gets thrown away, so maybe you have to remove a few nail/staples but packing cases very often in 3/4 ply are a good start hth ........

I have seen a couple on the internet for around 200 bucks but just want a simple 6 x 4 playhouse or something. Seen one that is on stilts and it looks really good.

I bought my 2 girls a 2 storey play house when they were younger, had it carpetted & the works - bought it from a place called "pine lap" local to me, it was an ex display model so got it half price £300 ish with free fitting.
