This cottage playhouse was built on a platform so that different activities could be added. The lower platform is accessed via a staircase on the front right hand side, this gives access to the house and also gives access to the higher platform. The higher platform has a scramble net and slide on the front, a firemans pole to left of the playhouse and a climbing wall with knotted rope on the left hand side. The decking platform has been finished off with rubberised paint and is protected with balustrade rails. A sandpit with lid is fitted underneath the higher platform. The front of the playhouse has a central door with heart shape cut out and a name plaque and two rectangular windows, each side also has a rectangular window in it. The roof has wooden cedar shingles on it and then finished off with a scalloped ridge and facia board. Internally the walls are plywood lined and insulated, it has a foldaway table, a blackboard and two internal benches.

Specification of this Playhouse with active platform
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 - Raised on a Platform
Your playhouse comes with a solid floor, it is constructed using 25mm x 50mmm tanolised bearers supporting an 18mm wbp external grade plywood floor: this is treated on the upper side using 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. A soft floor is fitted to the ground floor of the playhouse once finished - this floor can be removed easily for cleaning. This is then sited on to a decking platform.
Sides - Option 3
This is our highest level of build, the playhouse will have a damp proof membrane in the walls, full insulation and flat plywood lined walls on the inside with architrave around the doors and windows and skirting board around the bottom of the walls.
Initially a framework is built using 50mm x 38mm timber. To this we fix on the outside a weatherproof membrane and good quality redwood ship lap using galvanised brads, insulation panels are fitted between the framework before 6mmwbp plywood in fitted as an internal skin, this makes the side panels. Architrave is fitted around the doors and windows and skirting around the bottom of the walls. 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.
