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 heart shape cut out in it and an opening window either side of it. Both sides also have a non opening window, these let in lots of light. The roof is finished with wooden cedar shingles and has a chimney fitted. Internally there is a fitted bench, a foldaway table and a blackboard which give lots of opportunity to play. A staircase on the front gives access to the platform. On the left hand side the platform rises in height to accommodate the slide coming off. Alternative access to the platform is via a climbing wall on the left hand side or a climbing wall to the front. The whole platform is protected with balustrade rails. Underneath the platform is a hanging swing seat giving the children somewhere to sit and take a break and be sheltered from the harmful sun rays. Also underneath the platform is a sandpit which gives an additional area of play. Coming down from the back of the platform is a pulley with box and there is a flagpole with a corded flag also on the platform. To the right of the platform is a double swing gantry with 2 standard pine swings.

Specification of this Playhouse with platform
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 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.
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.
