5’3×5’6 Shire Croft 2 Storey Kids Wooden Playhouse
Overview
The 5’3×5’6 Shire Croft 2 Storey Kids Wooden Playhouse gives children a genuine two storey adventure in the garden rather than a single flat play space. A ladder or staircase leads up to a raised platform, so young explorers get a lookout deck, a den, or even a sleeping area above the main ground floor room. Built from quality timber and finished with child safety in mind, it’s designed to become a firm favourite for years of imaginative play.

Construction
Built from quality timber with smooth-planed surfaces to ensure child safety, the Shire Croft is designed for outdoor use all year round. All edges are finished to prevent splinters, and the two storey frame is engineered to safely support the raised platform as well as children climbing the ladder or staircase between floors.
Treatment & Guarantee
Treat with a quality exterior wood preservative within 6 weeks of assembly and annually thereafter to protect the timber and keep the playhouse looking its best through every season.
Doors & Windows / Security
All Shire playhouses are designed with child safety as the priority. Smooth-planed timber minimises splinter risk on doors, windows and the internal ladder or staircase alike. We recommend adult supervision during assembly and periodic inspection to ensure all fixings, particularly around the upper platform, remain secure.
Assembly Information
This playhouse arrives flat-packed with comprehensive assembly instructions. We recommend at least two adults for assembly, since fitting the upper platform and staircase safely takes more care than a single storey build. All fixings and hardware are included, and a firm, level base is recommended.
Delivery Information
Free delivery to most UK mainland addresses. Some remote postcodes may incur a surcharge.
Optional Upgrades
Ask about pressure treated timber upgrades for extended protection, and consider a suitable base kit to keep the playhouse stable and level on grass or soil.
