Playhouse FAQ's
Is the playhouse waterproof?
Not entirely. While the roof features a tongue-and-groove design, it is not 100% watertight on its own for an outdoor playhouse for kids. Adding roofing felt is highly recommended to make your playhouse wooden and weather-resistant.
Does it come painted?
No, it arrives as untreated natural wood. To protect your wooden playhouse outdoor, you should apply a wood preservative, varnish, or water-based paint shortly after assembly. This allows you to customize your kids garden playhouse in any color you like.
Is assembly easy?
Yes, this wooden play house is designed for a hassle-free setup. Most customers report that it is straightforward to assemble, typically taking 1 to 2 hours. The panels for this play house are pre-labelled to streamline the process.
Is a floor included?
No, the floor for this kids wooden playhouse is usually sold separately. Adding a solid floor is highly recommended for stability and to keep the play house for kids sturdy on uneven ground.
Can it be used for pets?
Absolutely! Many customers buy the Evermeadow Playhouse to use as a luxury wooden outdoor playhouse for rabbits, chickens, or even feral cats. It is a high-quality alternative to standard pet hutches.
What age group is it for?
This garden playhouse is designed for children aged 18 months and up. While it provides ample space for imaginative adventures, it is a compact kids playhouse outdoor best suited for toddlers and children aged 1-4.
What are the windows made of?
For safety, the windows on this wooden playhouse for kids are made of shatter-resistant Perspex/plastic, not glass, ensuring a secure environment in your wendy house.
Is the wood good quality?
Yes, it is made of high-quality solid fir wood. While minor cracks or natural variations may occur, they do not affect the strength of the playhouse. It is excellent value for anyone looking for a wendy house for sale that is built to last.
Does the door lock?
The door usually features a simple closure or magnetic catch. Because it is a kids outdoor playhouse, many parents choose to add their own small bolt or latch to keep the door tucked tight during windy weather.
How fast is delivery?
Delivery for this Evermeadow Playhouse is consistently reported as very fast, often arriving within 2 days of ordering.
Best places to buy wooden playhouses in the UK?
Retailers like Big Game Hunters are top-rated for wooden playhouse quality and very fast delivery. Always check if the wendy house for sale includes a floor or if it is an optional extra.
I want to buy a wooden playhouse with a slide?
If you want a wooden playhouse for kids with a slide, look for tower or platform models. These are elevated off the ground, requiring a ladder and a safety rail. These are excellent for active kids but require more space than a standard wendy house.
How do I choose the right size wooden playhouse?
Measure your garden and allow for a 2-foot clearance zone around the house. For toddlers, a compact playhouse is great, but for children aged 5 to 7, look for a taller model with a higher door frame so they don't outgrow it too quickly.
How do I clean a wooden playhouse safely?
To clean your kids wooden playhouse, use a soft brush to remove cobwebs and debris. For a deeper clean, use a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid high-pressure washers, as they can damage the fibers of the solid fir wood. If you spot white residue, simply wipe it away with a damp cloth.
How do I maintain a wooden playhouse in wet weather?
Apply a water-based preservative or varnish annually, ensure roofing felt is installed to prevent leaks, and open the door on dry days to allow ventilation and prevent mould.
How do I anchor a wooden playhouse securely?
To keep a play house for kids safe during high winds, use metal ground anchors or L brackets. Corkscrew-style anchors work best for lawns, while decking or concrete installations should be bolted directly to the surface.
How do I customise a wooden playhouse with paint and stencils?
Use a high-quality outdoor wood paint like Cuprinol Ducksback. Secure stencils with painter's tape and use a dry brush technique to prevent paint bleeding. Popular themes include beach huts and forest cottages.
