Climbing frames and swings are fantastic for keeping children occupied for hours on end. Parks and soft play are great, but it’s also helpful to have an outdoor space at home where your kids can let their minds and bodies run free. A tower playhouse with a slide and swing creates an adventure playground in your own back garden. 

The best part is that it doesn’t have to look like a playground. You can turn these garden playhouses into anything with some imagination and decoration. Transform it into a pirate ship, a princess tower, a rocket into space or a cosy cabin. Not sure which playhouse will bring your vision to life? Check out our helpful playhouse buying guide.

Encourage outdoor play

A playhouse with a wooden climbing frame is an excellent way to encourage independence and confidence in young children. It helps them learn how to grip and balance, increasing their coordination skills and strength. Swings are an incredible play option for developing muscle control and rhythm, not to mention they’re fun! Slides allow little ones to zoom down from a tower playhouse platform, run to the steps, and start all over again.

Playhouse safety features

Walton’s wooden playhouses are carefully curated for your child’s play and safety. The doors are made with a finger gap to prevent trapping little hands. Instead of glass, we’ve chosen styrene-glazed windows and installed slip-proof ladder treads so kids can clamber up and down to their heart’s content. We also build our playhouses with sustainably sourced pine, smoothed to perfection for zero splinters.

Customising a playhouse

Every child is different, so they need their unique twist on a playhouse. If you’re unsure where to start, ask your children to help! What are their likes and dislikes? Would they love a rose-pink house filled with art activities? Perhaps they would prefer a jungle theme, with leaf stencilling on the wood and an explorer's dressing-up box.

We are constantly amazed at the creations our customers come up with. Take a look at our catalogue of decorated playhouse photos for ideas. You can also get our team to jazz up your playhouse for you by choosing a ready-painted playhouse.
