Malvern Playden

Playden 6ft x 4ft with pink highlights

The Playden is shown here with pink highlights, one of five colours available as an option.

The Playden 6ft x 4ft

This is the smallest of our playhouses but still has all the safety features you should expect in a child's playhouse. Two longline windows glazed with acrylic plastic provide plenty of light and enable you to keep an eye on the kids while they are playing.

In common with the other playhouses in our range, the Playden is available with red, green, yellow, blue, pink, or plain highlights.

Each Playden can be professionally installed by Malvern's own teams of skilled fitters on the same day as delivery is made ( if the installation option is chosen )

Nest of our Playhouse range !

We display our Playhouse range at all of our branches throughout the UK and this 'nest' of Playhouses is at our Milton Keynes branch.

You'll see various colour options shown on the different buildings :

Superden on the RH with blue highlights

Lodge on the LH side with red highlights

Playhouse at the back with yellow highlights

Play range colour samples

To add a bit of a zing to your choice from our play range, whether it be the Lodge, Playhouse, Playden or Superden, you can specify coloured highlights from our range of 5 hard wearing colours.

The Lodge and Superden will be supplied with the verandah railings painted in colour too ... an innovation for 2016.

Finger Guard

Each of the Malvern playhouses features a stable door which kids just love to play with. However, we don't want them to get their fingers trapped so there is a substantial gap between the two doors covered by a rubber weatherseal.

Piano Hinges

The stable doors on Malvern playhouses are hinged with one-piece piano hinges and the rear edge of the door is cut at 30 degrees This ensures that, when shut, there is no risk of little fingers getting caught in the back of the door.

Magnetic catches

Safety inspectors insisted that Malvern playhouse doors were fitted with magnetic catches so that all a child has to do to get out is push rather than turn a handle or knob. We took their advice as you would expect! The door has a neat circular handle on the outside which is easy for small children to grasp.

Rounded framework

The 43mm x 33mm framework used in the Malvern playhouse range is sanded to a smooth finish to prevent splinters. Shown here where the sides meet the roof, you'll see that the roof is made from real timber rather than chipboard or pressed fibre board. This has important benefits if damp somehow gets into the roof at a later date since real timber won't swell and disintegrate.

Deal ( pine ) cladding

Our playhouses are constructed with Deal ( Pine ) tongued and grooved cladding. The surface of this is planed smooth and each board fits neatly into the next. Before the building leaves the factory each panel is given a wash of a quality wood preservative which protects it against rot and insect attack. The process allows the preservative to get between the boards and into the end grain of the timber ensuring that all surfaces are coated.

Rounded bargeboards and acrylic plastic windows

The bargeboards on the Malvern playhouse range are neatly rounded for safety. The windows are glazed with acrylic plastic. Pictured here on The Lodge, the principle is exactly the same with the Playden.

You may think this rather elementary but compare our buildings with other manufacturers' buildings and you'll see how much better thought out they are.
