Climbing frames & swings – more info
Keeping children entertained can be difficult and expensive. It’s not long before you’ve run out of ideas and tell them to get some sunlight. But they constantly come back inside saying they’re bored! A playhouse with a wooden climbing frame encourages children to leave their computers and spend time outdoors.
The Poppy tower wooden playhouse is perfect for smaller gardens with its compact ladder design and viewing platform. If you have space to spare, the Poppy tower playhouse with activity centre is great for bigger kids. The ladder and platform provide a sturdy climbing surface, while the gentle wiggle slide helps them get down easily.
How to look after a playhouse
Waltons’ playhouses can last decades with the correct care, so we recommend an annual upkeep. Treat the wood with weather protection, and decorate with outdoor paint so the colour stays bright all year round. Use a mild detergent and damp cloth to remove marks gently. Read our ‘tips for playhouse maintenance’ article for more.
Does my playhouse need a base?
Yes, every playhouse needs a base for support and stability. The structure may be less sturdy without one, creating gaps and leaving it open to weather damage. Our article, ‘how to build a shed base,’ has easy and practical tips to help you get started.
How should I decorate a playhouse?
You can decorate a playhouse however you like – there are no rules! If you want a bright, colourful playhouse, choose red, pink or yellow. Add stencils, like giant flowers or a skull and crossbones, for a statement look. Or keep the wood's natural finish and paint the window frames for a pop of colour. Remember to give the inside some thought with snuggly blankets, cushions, toys and solar or battery-powered lights.
