Raised playhouse (PC100674)

Price: £5,190 Including VAT, Delivery & Installation

This children's cottage playhouse has been set onto a 4ft high platform and is an asset to any garden. It has a central stable door with a diamond shape cut and a letterbox in it. Either side of the door is a non-opening glazed window with window box underneath, a great way to start the children gardening. The left hand side has shutters set low, these can be used to climb through (although we don't tell the children that) and are great for encouraging imaginative play. Both sides have a diamond shaped window in the apex. The roof has eternite slate on it and then finished off with a scalloped ridge and facia board. Internally the playhouse is lined with plywood, making it easy for you decorate if you wish to. The playhouse is set in the right hand corner of the platform and is accessed via a set of stairs at the front. To the left hand side of the playhouse is a good size playarea with a slide coming from the front, a wobble bridge leads to another play platform which has a climbing wall with knotted rope coming off from it. The stairs and platfrom are all protected by balustrade rails.

Specification of this Raised playhouse

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.

Roof - Slate

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 waterproof membrane and then eternite slates fixed. These look just like real slate. 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.

Sides - Option 1

Whilst this is our option one build, it should not be confused with a “shed” type construction, as each one of our playhouses are hand built in our workshops in Herefordshire and we only use superior quality materials. Initially a framework is built using 50mm x 38mm redwood timber with rounded edges. To this we fix, using galvanised brads, good quality redwood shiplap timber; 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.
