A lot goes in to your playhouse

We only build children’s playhouses and all our outdoor play houses are built individually by skilled craftsmen with years of experience in building children’s out door play structures. Because we have kept a close eye on your children’s outdoor play house from the moment we start to build we are able to ensure every part is built to the highest specification.

1. Sides

   We offer three different build options for you to choose from

   

   Option 1 - Standard

   Good quality redwood framework with rounded corners and good quality shiplap attached to the outside using galvanised brads.

   Option 2 - Plywood lined

   The advantage of this build is to give you a plain flat plywood surface on the inside; this is needed if you are thinking of painting the inside. It also has the additional weatherproof membrane between the layer of plywood and shiplap and gives extended usage of the playhouse.

   Option 3 - Insulated and plywood lined

   Includes all of the options 1 and 2, but with the addition of insulation in the walls, and finished off with skirting and architrave.

2. Roof

   We are able to offer four different roof finishes.
   

   Felt

   High quality 38kg mineral felt over the top of base felt.

   Felt shingles

   To give the appearance of tiles, these go over the base layer of felt.

   Cedar shingles

   Traditional roof finish in North America, Cedar shingles are fitted over the top of the felt.

   Slate effect

   Eternet artificial slate is fitted over the top of the felt, this looks just like a traditional slate roof.

3. Finish & Protection

   All external areas are fully treated with two coats of Sadolin classic translucent timber protection or Sadolin superdec opaque timber protection

   

4. Floor & Damp Proofing

   Tanolised bearers giving protection against rot for 15 years.

   - 18mm external plywood flooring.

5. Windows
