The 12mm shiplap tongue and groove cladding is supported by a robust 34mm frame, creating a structure built to last. The floor and roof both feature 12mm tongue and groove construction, ensuring no weak points in the design.

The playhouse includes a porch area and balustrades, enhancing both functionality and appearance. Smooth-planed bargeboards and decorative finials add to the traditional charm of this wooden shed style playhouse.

Doors & Windows

Two opening windows constructed from shatterproof styrene flood the interior with natural light and provide excellent ventilation. Styrene is considerably safer than conventional glass, making it ideal for children’s play spaces. All doors and windows are crafted using traditional joinery techniques.

Please note that following the manufacturer’s guidelines on assembly, usage, and retreatment is necessary to validate these guarantees.
