and garden buildings.

BEFORE YOU START PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY 

- Check the pack and make sure you have all the parts listed in the parts list provided. 

- When you are ready to start, make sure you have the right tools at hand (not supplied) including  a 

Phillips screwdriver, Flathead screwdriver, Stanley knife, Wood saw, Step ladder, Hammer, Spirit level and 

a Drill with 2mm bit.

- Ensure there is plenty of space and a clean dry area for assembly. 

- Ensure you have enough time to build the product to ensure the building is water tight.

TIMBER

As with all natural materials, timber can be affected during various weather conditions. For the duration 

of heavy or extended periods of rain, swelling of the wood panels may occur. Warping of the wood may 

also occur during excessive dry spells due to natural processes. Unfortunately, these processes cannot be 

avoided but can be helped. It is suggested that the outdoor building is sprayed with water during 

extended periods of hot weather and sheltered as much as possible during rain or snow. 

Once your garden building has been installed it will need to be treated as soon as possible and annually 

to prevent the timber from deteriorating and to waterproof it. This is required to maintain the anti-rot 

guarantee. 

Dip Treated buildings - Require a preservative treatment to protect against rot and decay and a water-

proof treatment to prevent water ingress. Pressure Treated buildings - Require a waterproof treatment to 

prevent water ingress. Log Cabins - Are supplied untreated and require a preservative and waterproofing 

treatment.

We also recommend treating the building prior to construction.

POSITIONING YOUR PLAYHOUSE

When thinking about where the building and base is going to be constructed: 

Ensure that there will be access to all sides for maintenance work and annual treatment. 

We recommend a 

minimum space of 2m around a playhouse

, away from any structure or obstructions 

such as fences, garages, houses, overhanging branches, washing lines or electrical wires.

It is recommended that the position of the Playhouse is

 not in direct sunlight.

Activity toys such as swings and slides for towers shall not be installed over concrete, asphalt or 

any hard surface.

BUILDING A BASE 

Ensure the base is level and is built on firm ground, to prevent distortion, checking with a spirit level.  

Refer to diagrams for the base dimensions.  The base should be slightly smaller than the external 

measurement of the building, i.e. The cladding should overlap the base, creating a run off for water. It is 

also recommended that the floor be at least 25mm above the surrounding ground level to avoid 

flooding.

TYPES OF BASE

- Concrete 75mm laid on top of 75mm hard-core.

- Slabs laid on 50mm of sharp sand.

- Wooden base.

WARNING: Only for domestic use

Not suitable for children under 36 months due to 

small gaps and danger of falling from heights.
