A defined outdoor space for play
A playhouse gives children a place for imaginative games, activities and outdoor toy storage. Our garden-building range includes the dedicated Kids Club House, which families can consider alongside the space available and the child's changing interests. Size matters, but so do door and window positions. You may want clear visibility from the home while still giving children a space that feels separate. We encourage families to inspect wooden playhouses at our Kettering site, where proportions and access are easier to understand. An in-person look can reveal whether the doorway feels practical, how much floor space is available and where the building could sit without taking over the garden.
Prepare a safe and practical position
The chosen position needs a stable, level base and a clear route around the structure. Allow enough room for installation as well as later access for care. Consider nearby paths, planting and play equipment, and avoid placing the entrance where it creates an awkward step or narrow approach. As children grow, a little extra floor area may help the building stay useful for activities or storage. We can discuss supply, preparation and fitting so you understand each stage before ordering. Planning the base and clearance with the selected model reduces last-minute changes when the building arrives.
Frequently asked questions
Where should we place a wooden playhouse?
Choose a visible part of the garden with a stable, level base and safe access around it. Consider the view from your home, nearby paths and enough clearance for installation and ongoing care.
What is the Kids Club House?
The Kids Club House is the confirmed children's building in our garden-building range. We recommend viewing it in person to assess the floor area, construction, doorway and window positions against your garden.
How much clearance does a playhouse need?
Allow space to carry and assemble the building, walk safely around it and maintain the exterior later. The exact clearance depends on the selected model and site access, which we can discuss before ordering.
