Construction

Expertly built from premium 12mm shiplap tongue and groove cladding supported by a robust 34mm frame, this wooden playhouse is constructed to the highest standards. It benefits from both a 12mm tongue and groove floor and roof, ensuring longevity and weather resistance.

All timber used is FSC-certified, meeting stringent environmental standards. The joinery is crafted using traditional, skilled techniques to ensure every component is built to last. Decorative bargeboards and 2 diamond-shaped finials add charm and character to the overall appearance.

Treatment & Guarantee

The wood is dip treated and arrives with a natural honey-brown finish. You’ll benefit from an excellent 10-year anti-rot guarantee, plus a 1-year parts guarantee. Following the manufacturer’s guidelines on assembly, usage and retreatment will validate these guarantees.

If you prefer a different colour, you can apply coloured wood preservative to create your own individual style. For similar robust structures, explore our range of wooden sheds.

All windows are crafted from shatterproof styrene, which is considerably safer than conventional glass for a children’s play area.
