Hailing from the UK, this wooden playhouse is crafted using superior 12mm shiplap cladding on a sturdy 34mm frame. It features a high-quality 12mm tongue and groove floor, and an 8mm OSB roof, ensuring exceptional durability and robustness. The apex roof is equipped with a log-cabin-style projection and is covered with weatherproof felt to shield against rain. A charming diamond-shaped finial completes its appealing look.

The door and window are constructed using traditional, expert joinery techniques. The door is furnished with a roller catch and an ornate daisy-design ring handle, offering effortless entry into the playhouse. It comes with a small diamond-shaped window, a safety piano hinge, and decorative antique-style dummy hinges. Inside, the sizable fixed window provides ample natural light. Both windows are made from shatterproof styrene, ensuring enhanced safety compared to standard glass.

This wooden playhouse meets the safety standards of BS EN 71 (CE) and all its wood is FSC®-certified, sourced from sustainable forests. It undergoes a dip treatment process and comes with an impressive 10-year anti-rot guarantee, as well as an additional 1-year parts guarantee, contingent on adhering to the manufacturer’s assembly, use, and re-treatment guidelines.

Comprehensive instructions and an assembly kit are provided for a seamless setup. An optional 1’8-deep (0.51m) veranda is also available for purchase to further enhance the playhouse’s aesthetics.

It’s important to note that due to the dip treatment, the playhouse is delivered in a honey-brown timber hue, but customers can opt to apply paint if desired. Delivery to most UK addresses is free of charge.

FAQs

The size of the shed depends on what you plan to store or use it for. Measure the items you plan to store and consider any additional space for moving around or future storage needs. Common sizes range from small (6×8 feet) for basic storage to large (12×24 feet) for workshops or extensive storage.
Sheds are typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. Wood is aesthetically pleasing and customizable but requires more maintenance. Metal sheds are durable and secure but can be prone to rust. Plastic sheds are low-maintenance and easy to assemble but may not be as sturdy as wood or metal.

Permit requirements vary by location. Check with your local building department or zoning office. Typically, small sheds (under 120 square feet) may not require a permit, but larger ones or those with electrical installations often do.

A solid foundation is crucial for stability and longevity. Options include concrete slabs, gravel bases, or wooden platforms. Choose a foundation based on your shed’s size, material, and the ground conditions of your site.
Look for sheds with features like weather-resistant materials, proper sealing, and robust construction. Ensure the shed has a good roof overhang, proper drainage, and secure locking mechanisms to protect against theft and weather damage.
Assembly time depends on the size and complexity of the shed. Small, simple sheds can be assembled in a few hours, while larger or more complex sheds may take a full day or more. Professional installation is also an option for those who prefer not to DIY.
Maintenance depends on the material. Wooden sheds need periodic painting or staining and checking for rot or pests. Metal sheds may need rust prevention treatments. Plastic sheds require minimal maintenance, typically just cleaning as needed.
Moving a shed is possible but can be challenging, especially for larger structures. It’s easier to move a smaller shed if it has a solid base. Consider the logistics and potential costs of moving before installation. If moving is likely, a portable shed might be a better option.
Many sheds come with detailed assembly instructions, making them suitable for DIY installation, especially smaller models. However, larger or more complex sheds may require professional installation to ensure they are properly and safely assembled. Assess your skill level, available tools, and the complexity of the shed before deciding.
