Treehouse (PC090568)

Price: £9,365 Including VAT, Delivery & Installation

The playhouse is sited on a platform with two levels. The platform is accessed via a staircase to the right hand side or via a climbing wall with knotted rope or a scramble net. The playhouse is set on the lower platform and has a fireman's pole set to the left of the house. This platform then steps up to a slightly higher platform which has a climbing wall with knotted rope, a scramble net, a slide and a set of monkey bars coming off it. Underneath the platform is a hanging swing seat. The front of the playhouse has a central door with diamond shape cut out and a rectangular glazed window either side of it, the back and left hand side both have another glazed rectangular window in them, whilst the right hand side has two glazed rectangular windows: All these windows give lots of light into the house. Internally the house is plywood lined and has a trap door with rope ladder access to the ground, a foldaway table and a fitted bench. The roof has cedar shingles on it and then finished off with a facia and ridge board. The area then had rubber bark laid underneath to give an all year round weather surface.

Specification of this Treehouse

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.

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.

Other - External Staircase

All staircases are built at an angle of 45 degrees with no more than 180mm between treads, they are built using tanolised timber with grooved decking used for the treads. All staircases above 300mm have balustrade rails on the side.
