Whether its a 4ft deep or 6ft deep
Play House, it is important that
you assemble the build in the
correct place.
Our Builds start at 4ft by 4ft and
end at 12ft x 6ft. So, remember to
take care when choosing where
to place your Play House.
These Builds can be placed
on any at ground. We
recommend a solid concrete
base to allow proper
drainage.
However, other bases such as
timber, aggregates and ags
are also suitable.

FINISHED
Timber is a naturally grown product and may shrink and warp when dried
out, timber is a porous material which can absorb water. Although all of our
buildings come pressure treated we strongly advise the building is re-treat-
ed with an oil/spirit based treatment inside and out to make the timber
water repellent and to preserve the quality and life of the product.
