Playhouses are secret sanctuaries for children’s imaginations to run wild. Whether it’s a tea party playdate in a snug kids’ wooden playhouse or a playhouse with a tower and slide, we’re sure there is a garden house they’ll love.

If it’s your first time buying a children’s playhouse, we have a handy playhouse buying guide so you can choose the perfect design for you and your family. Walton’s children’s playhouses are easy to assemble, durable and designed to withstand the elements. 

Wooden playhouses

Our wooden playhouses blend beautifully into your garden and encourage children to spend more time outdoors. They’re also great icebreakers for playdates, so you can sit back and watch the kids have fun.

Constructed using sustainably sourced timber, the wood is planed and rounded for a smooth finish and not a splinter in sight. The shatterproof styrene windows are designed specifically for little ones to have fun and play. As strong as glass but far safer, they let natural light into the space for a cosy and fun outdoor experience. With a 10 Year Anti Rot Guarantee, you don’t need to worry about damp or mould. Instead, you can get some peace and quiet while the kids enjoy the playhouse, even on a rainy day.

Tower playhouses

Create a mini adventure playground in your back garden with a tower playhouse. Our tower playhouses are made under Toys Safety Regulations and are fantastic for active kids who need wearing out. The floor and walls use durable shiplap tongue and groove cladding to withstand the rough and tumble of high-energy play. 

Where to put a playhouse

Choose a place in your garden large enough to fit the playhouse and additional space around it for assembly and maintenance. Ensure it sits on a level base so the screw holes and windows align for maximum stability and durability.

Waltons’ playhouses are simple to assemble and high-quality. Each design has maximum durability and play. Choose a double-storey Swiss cottage, Wooden Dutch Barn or Snug Playhouse for imagination or creativity. Alternatively, run kids ragged and develop their motor skills with our tower playhouses with built-in slides, steps and swings. 

Manufactured in the UK, each wooden playhouse is created for maximum play with minimum effort. Invest in your children’s happiness and bring joy for years to come with Walton’s playhouses. 

Can you put a playhouse on grass?

If you put your playhouse on grass, you must ensure it’s constructed on a level base. A base is usually made with wood, paving or concrete. Grass alone is too uneven and can misalign the pieces, resulting in weather damage.

Do I need planning permission for a playhouse?

You don’t usually need planning permission for playhouses, but it’s important to confirm this with the local planning office. You can read more on our garden planning permission guide.

How to decorate a playhouse

There are hundreds of ways to decorate your wooden playhouse. Start by considering what your children would enjoy the most. Do you want to turn it into a princess palace or a pirate’s cabin? Paint the outside and decorate the interior with rugs, furniture and battery or solar-powered lights. Don’t forget blankets for warmth and storage boxes to keep it tidy. 

For inspiration, check out our customer snaps of their decorated playhouses, sheds and summer houses. Alternatively, you can choose a ready-painted playhouse and let our team take care of the painting for you!
