Built for Safety and Durability
Safety is a priority in the design of this playhouse. It uses styrene safety glazing instead of glass and is tested to European Standard EN71 for child safety. Materials are regularly assessed to ensure they comply with the latest safety regulations.
The structure is made from 12mm kiln-dried European tongue and groove shiplap cladding, with a matching tongue and groove floor. The roof is constructed from moisture-resistant OSB and finished with mineral felt for protection against the elements. The dipped honey-brown finish adds a warm, cottage-style look that fits beautifully in any garden.
