This square playhouse has been put on to a raised platform to give the children more scope to play. The front of the playhouse has a central stable door with a daimond shape cut out in it. It has an opening window either side of it, and then each of the other 3 sides all have a non opening window which lets in lots of light. The roof is finished with wooden cedar shingles. Internally the walls are plywood lined and there is a foldaway tableand a bench. A staircase on the left hand side gives access to the platform which is set at 4ft, on the right hand side the platform rises to 5ft to another small platform to accommodate the slide coming off. The whole platform is protected with balustrade rails. Underneath the platform is a hanging swing seat giving the children somewhere to to sit and take a break and be sheltered from the harmful sun rays. A single swing gantry is to the right of the structure.

Specification of this Children's wooden playhouse
Roof - Wood Shingles
The playhouse roof is built to withstand the English climate; 75mm x 50mm bearers are put across from side to side. Screwed to these bearers is 12mm external quality plywood covered with two layers of base waterproof membrane and then wooden cedar shingles, using galvanised staples. The felt is wrapped over the front and back and sealed behind the facia board; there is also a ridge board fitted along the top ridge, these boards can be either straight or shaped.
Floor - Ground
Your playhouse comes with a solid floor all ready to be laid onto a sub base, this can be shingle stones/concrete/paving slabs/tarmac/decking. The floor is constructed using 25mm x 50mmm tanolised bearers supporting an 18mm wbp external grade plywood floor: this is treated on the upper side with sadolin classic timber protection. Sandwiched between the bearers and plywood is a damp proof membrane that then wraps around the edge and sits under the playhouse side. The membrane is there to stop moisture coming up from the ground.
A soft floor is fitted to the ground floor of the playhouse once finished - this floor can be removed easily for cleaning.
Windows - Opening Glazed
The windows are built as separate units; once they have been sanded and treated they are glazed and then fitted and sealed using clear silicon into the frame. These windows are glazed with 2mm polycarbonate sheet, this is completely clear, will not fade or become brittle with time, it is 200 times the strength of glass making it virtually shatter proof. The opening window is hinged on either the right of left using a stainless steel piano hinge and our special non trap design. When the window is in the closed position there is a taper between the casement and frame so should any little fingers be in the way they will not get pinched. The casements are held using a brass handle and casement stay.

Sides - Option 2
This level of build is a popular option as it gives the additional benefits of a damp proof membrane in the walls and a smooth surface on the inside that is suitable for decoration. Initially a framework is built using 50mm x 38mm redwood timber with rounded edges. On the outside of this we fit, using galvanised pins, 6mm wbp external plywood followed by a damp poof membrane and then good quality redwood shiplap, this makes the side panels. These panels are then sanded and treated on the outside using two coats of Sadolin wood preservative. These are then fitted together on site, a clear silicon seal is applied to all the corners.
Doors - Standard
All our doors are built with safety as a paramount concern. All are a special non-trap design, using piano hinge down the whole length of the door, and then a rebate on the inside of the hinged side. When the door is in the closed position there is a taper between the door and frame, so should little fingers be left in the way they will not be pinched. Doors are held closed with heavy duty magnets; this prevents a child getting locked in accidentally. The cut out window is glazed with unbreakable 2mm polycarbonate sheet. Doors have a knob inside and out.
