Our top selling Playhouse has been a firm favourite for over 20 years.
We offer five colour highlight choices in addition to the plain timber bargeboards and windows : blue, pink, red, green, or yellow.
This Playhouse has the green highlights, red roofing felt ( a no-cost option ), and floor bearers under the floor to keep the floor joists off the ground.
Each Playhouse 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 )
The Playhouse is shown here with yellow highlights, one of five choices of coloured highlights.
* Please note - as of 2018, if you select the paint pack with your order and the optional chimney, the chimney is no longer painted. Just the windows, bargeboards and veranda's are painted.
This 8ft x 6ft display model has the optional chimney as well as the blue paint option.

The Playhouse 6 x 6 is shown here with standard timber treated facias.
The 6ft x 6ft Playhouse has three windows rather than the four fitted to the larger model. It also has a side door on the low side. Optional green highlights are shown.
The optional chimney is fitted .
The building can be manufactured 'the other way round' with the main slope on the right for which there is a small charge.
This has been our brochure picture of the Playhouse for a long time ! No doubt the children grew out of their toys some years ago!
This is included here to demonstrate how the Playhouse looks with plain timber highlights.

The Playhouse is 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.
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.
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.
This is what kids enjoy most about The Playhouse! The ladder is situated at the far side so that smaller children can use the wall for support while climbing.
The upstairs has ballustrades for safety. As children grow older the upstairs can be easily removed to give more headroom throughout the building.
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.
The bargeboards on the Malvern playhouse range are neatly rounded for safety. The windows are glazed with acrylic plastic.
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.
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.

All of our children’s playhouses will be delivered by our own expert team of fitters. We take pride in making sure that your building will arrive in perfect condition. As with all of our garden buildings, we like to provide our customers with a suitable delivery time. We always give good notice of our arrival date, allowing you to be sure it is the right time for you. We always appreciate any helpful information regarding access to your pre-prepared base area and any details you may need to share with us about reaching you - so that the delivery process can run as smoothly as possible.
Our Playhouses all come with the option of installation. If you are thinking about having your playhouse installed by our skilled team of fitters, please be aware that you will need to have a good, strong, level base, pre-prepared prior to your delivery date. We would normally recommend a base constructed from either slabs, concrete or heavy duty decking. We will always confirm these details with you at point of order. These measures ensure that your playhouse will be both delivered and installed without any inconvenience.
Our delivery times can vary from season to season, but typically you should expect to receive your building around 3-4 weeks from when you place your order. All of our buildings are made to order, so during the busy spring to summer seasons this may increase to 6-10 weeks dependant on the building that you have purchased. Please feel free to contact us on 0800 999 0123 to check our current delivery times.
