Children’s Outdoor Playhouses

Children love playing, and there is nothing better than sitting in the comfort of your home or garden building and watching your children play safely in the garden. Outdoor play is enhanced by the addition of a kids’ playhouse, Wendy House, play den or outdoor playroom. Garden playhouses are so much more than garden buildings; they offer younger kids independence, excitement and adventure without the drawbacks of the park or playground.

We sell outdoor playhouses in all shapes, sizes and designs to fuel kids’ imaginative play and allow them to enjoy endless adventures, role play and express themselves creatively with or without friends and family getting involved.

An overview of other features of our children’s playhouses is provided below.For further details, read our Playhouse Buying Guide, where these features are analysed in detail:

• Brands – choose from Shire or Traditional
• Cladding – this will be either tongue and groove or shiplap tongue and groove
• Roof style – options include apex, pent, pyramid and reverse apex roofing

We offer for sale a broad range of sturdy, affordable playhouses that inspire active play, including the following kids’ den and playtime ideas:

• Rangers-inspired command post playhouses
• Command post dens with platforms and a ladder
• Wild west themed wooden wigwams and teepees
• Traditional play dens with storage
• Two-storey play dens with a garage
• Wendy houses with verandas
• Children’s playhouses with decks

• Wooden lodges and double-storey kids’ playrooms

If you are looking for a playhouse with a slide, we have those. To enhance the entire experience, we sell garden games and sets with swings and slides, such as the Trigano Oreka Kids Wooden Garden Swing and Slide Set.

Older children also need independence in the garden. If you have teenagers who need entertainment, we sell garden buildings that double up as young adult dens and pool rooms. Work-from-home offices that become game rooms and sleepover hangouts at the weekend and in the holidays. You can choose gazebos with awnings that slide back and forth to create an open-air hang-out. We even sell decking kits with balustrades and handrails for an elevated look of outdoor life.

Garden buildings offer more space for a growing family, a place to create a small business or enjoy a hobby. We sell garden structures that are easy to install for immediate use. For example, our five different categories for modular seating, right up to garages and workshops for light industry or garden machinery storage. We sell sheds and log stores, wheelie bin storage and every size of garden storage. So, no matter what you need, we have a Wendy house or a BBQ shelter to suit your needs.

Our entire kids’ playhouse range is supplied as standard with dip-treated timber. This provides excellent protection from the weather, as well as resistance to decay, mould, pests and rotting. There will, however, need to be an annual retreatment to keep your guarantee intact and your playhouse protected from the UK weather.

With any of our Traditional playhouses, there is an option to upgrade to pressure-treated timber. This comes at an additional cost of between £450 and £720, depending on which model you buy.

The benefits of this are:

• Longer guarantee - the guaranteed length extends from one to fifteen years
• Protection – pressure treatment penetrates the inner wood fibres and offers extra protection
• Reduced maintenance – there will be no need to retreat annually with pressure-treated children’s playhouses, saving you both time and money
• Thicker cladding – as a part of upgrading to pressure treated, Traditional also increase the cladding thickness from 12mm to 15mm!
