FAQs

With our simple, easy-to-follow instructions that are provided with every playhouse, you'll have it constructed and ready to go in a matter of a few hours. You'll need a hammer, screwdriver, tape measure and step ladder as well as a few other tools.
No, but we do sell a range of paint colours that we've hand-picked to suit each playhouse as additional extras on each product page. They're easy to paint on yourself.
Like with all our buildings, we offer a 10 year anti-rot guarantee as long as you construct the building in accordance with our guidelines, so we'd say at least this long, if not longer.

Our playhouses can be for children as young as 1 or 2 to as old as 7 or 8. We have different sized playhouses to suit different ages, that vary on both height and floor space.  Ideally, we'd advise that 4-6 year olds with enjoy them most.

With a larger playhouse, there is the potential for kids to continue using it into their teenage years. Redecorate it to match their growing-up tastes and let them have it as their own private garden room.

Check out more details in our guide: What ages are playhouses for?

As long as you don't put the playhouse in your front garden and nearer than 2m to your house, no, you shouldn't. There are height restrictions on outbuildings in back gardens, but none of our playhouses flout those rules.

In the case of tower playhouses and two-storey playhouses with an internal bunk, there are rules about buildings with raised platforms (above 30cm high) which these playhouses might be affected by.

Gardens in certain areas might also be subject to tighter restrictions and need planning permission for any kind of garden structure.

Since different councils apply the rules differently, the best course of action is to get in touch with your local planning authority before making a purchase.

We've got more detail in our extensive guide to playhouse planning permission.

We would advise all that all of our playhouses go on a concrete or gravel base apart from tower playhouses, which are rooted into the ground with wooden stakes. This is so that moisture from the ground isn't absorbed by the wood that makes up the main structure of the house, as this can lead to rot and damage the building.

The best playhouse size depends on your garden space, your child’s age, and how they’ll use it. Smaller wendy houses are perfect for compact gardens or younger children, while larger two-storey playhouses offer more room to grow and play.

Beyond the Basics: How We Engineer Playhouses for Safety

While our top-level features proudly meet European safety standards, it helps to understand exactly how our wooden playhouses protect your children day-to-day. Standard shed doors can be heavy and close flush, which poses a significant risk to little hands. To combat this, our playhouse doors and window shutters are specifically engineered with a deliberate 12mm anti-trap gap around the frames, ensuring that fingers cannot get caught or crushed in the hinges.

Furthermore, we never use rough-sawn overlap timber for children's buildings. Every BillyOh wendy house is constructed using smooth-planed, interlocking tongue and groove boards. This rounded-edge finish drastically reduces the risk of splinters during rough-and-tumble play. Please note: For structural safety, our multi-level playhouses have a maximum upper-floor weight limit of 50kg, and our models are generally unsuitable for children under 36 months without direct supervision.

Choosing the Right Playhouse Style for Your Garden

Selecting the right outdoor playhouse depends entirely on your child's age, physical confidence, and your available garden space. Here is our expert breakdown of the main structural styles:

  • Single-Storey Wendy Houses: The perfect entry-level choice for toddlers. Models like our highly popular Gingerbread Junior Playhouse keep children at ground level, allowing for easy parental supervision from the kitchen window. They have a small footprint, making them ideal for compact patio spaces.
  • Tower Playhouses: Elevated on sturdy timber stilts (up to four feet high), these are ideal for energetic, older children who want a physical challenge. Tower models like the Lollipop Max incorporate ladders and optional slides. Expert Tip: Always ensure tower playhouses are assembled on shock-absorbing surfaces like play bark or soft grass, rather than hard concrete.
  • Two-Storey Playhouses: The ultimate space-saver. If you have a narrow garden but want to give your kids a massive play area, going vertical is the answer. These feature internal bunk-style ladders and a mezzanine level, giving older kids a sense of independence and a fun "secret base" feel.

Maintenance: Keeping the Timber Safe and Rot-Free

A wooden playhouse is a fantastic investment, but it requires the right setup to survive the damp UK climate. Never assemble your playhouse directly onto wet grass or soil. Establishing a firm, level base (like paving slabs or a timber sub-frame) keeps the floor bearers elevated and prevents ground moisture from rotting the timber from the bottom up.

To maximize longevity, you will need to treat the exterior wood annually. However, standard exterior fence treatments contain harsh chemicals and strong fumes. Always ensure you purchase a water-based, non-toxic wood treatment that carries the EN71-3 (Toy Safe) certification. This ensures that if your children touch the painted walls and then put their hands in their mouths, they are completely safe.
