Tower playhouses are getaways for cheeky children who need to run, climb and play without jumping all over your furniture. Watch them scramble up the child-friendly ladder and wave at you from the raised platform. With fun extras like slides and wooden swings from sustainably sourced timber, you can relax while they wear themselves out.

A playhouse tower doesn’t just create a garden adventure for kids. It also helps them develop their motor skills and coordination as they learn more about their bodies through play. A tower playhouse with a slide and swing boosts muscle control. Select your ideal playhouse design using our handy playhouse buying guide.

Wooden tower playhouses

Walton’s wooden playhouses use ethically sourced wood from sustainable forests. Each part is caringly made with high-quality, slow-grown dense pine, creating a safe space to set your child’s imagination free. 

The Poppy Tower wooden playhouse is perfect for confident climbers, with its four-step ladder and garden view. If your little one is just getting used to climbing, we recommend the Snug Tower playhouse, which features a wide, short ladder and low-raised platform.

Activity playhouses

A tower playhouse with a slide and swing makes the ultimate kids’ activity zone. They’re an excellent choice for children who like a challenge. Choose a slide or swing, or ramp up the fun with both!

Playhouse safety features

Waltons’ wooden playhouses are made from robust, interlocking shiplap timber and are designed to meet European safety standards. For added peace of mind, they come with a ten year anti-rot guarantee. We also have safety finger gaps on the doors, ladder treads, styrene-glazed windows and splinter-free wood for extra protection during play.

Build and decorate

What’s the next best thing to having a tower playhouse? Decorating it, of course! Involve your children, and experiment with stencils and colours. Furnish the inside with comfy rugs, tea sets and toys. If you want a helping hand, browse our range of paint colours, ranging from sage leaf green to rose pink. Choose the colour you want, and we’ll deliver your playhouse pre-painted and ready for construction.

All our buildings are simple to build for anyone with basic DIY skills (you’ll need a friend to help). And if not, don’t worry. Our professional team will deliver and build your playhouse. All you have to do is provide a flat, level and suitable base. For more information, take a look at our guide on how to build a shed base.

Tower playhouses - more info

Tower playhouses are great alternatives to treehouses, enabling children to climb and swing on a sturdy structure. Stick to a small ladder with a low platform for little ones who are learning. Or extend the steps and height to give older children a view of the garden. The additional features of swings and slides open up more play options and room to grow - perfect for kids of different ages. But the real winning feature of tower playhouses is they’re fantastic at entertaining everyone during those long summer holidays!

Why is a tower platform a good playhouse option?

Tower playhouses give children a unique bird’s eye view of the garden, and because they’re raised, you can have additional fun features like swings and slides – ideal if you want to keep your children occupied during the holidays. Why not put the space underneath your tower playhouse to good use too? It’s a great location for a sandpit, a special parking area for wheeled toys, or a secret hangout that’s easily screened off by shower curtains. 

Are tower playhouses safe for children?

Yes, tower playhouses are specifically designed with safety in mind. Made in accordance with Toys (Safety) Regulation 2011 (EN71) and UKCA marked, they are sturdy, durable, and built to withstand the elements. Additional safety features include shatterproof styrene windows rather than glass, rounded timbers to prevent splinters, a 12mm safety gap to prevent trapped fingers, and non-slip ladder treads.

How long do wooden tower playhouses last?

Tower playhouses are built in the UK from high-quality, slow-grown, dense pine that's sustainable and certified. Designed to withstand many years of robust play, they’ll last for years with proper maintenance. The best thing about a wooden playhouse is that, with a bit of imagination, it can be transformed every year to grow with your child’s changing needs. A new lick of paint can transform a knight’s castle into a train station or a wildlife explorer’s rainforest cabin.

Are Waltons’ tower playhouses easy to build and maintain?
