The Cottage Garden Den Kit - Outdoor Den Building Kit for Kids

Product Information

These treatments prevent the wood from shrinking, expanding, or warping, and help to dispel rot and fungi. Keeping up with annual wooden playhouse treatments will extend the lifespan of the product, allowing the kids to enjoy it for even longer. If you’re painting trims, window frames, or doors in a different colour, do this last using a smaller brush. After everything is dry and any tape has been removed, cover everything with a coat of water-based sealant to protect it. Once this final coat has dried, you’ll be ready to add furnishings like rugs, bean bags, or even fairy lights! As well as more standard models, we also have some unique, innovatively designed garden playhouses to really encourage imaginative games. Take a look at our wooden tepee and command post playhouses for example. Personalised garden playhouses With all our durable tongue and groove panel buildings, and our tongue and groove playhouses come with the BillyOh 10-year Guarantee. This Guarantee protects the building against rot, insect infestation, and decay for an incredible ten years! For more information, read up on the details here.

Any parent knows that children's outdoor toys need to be durable if they're going to last. That's why we've constructed each kid's wendy house with spray-treated timber as standard to treat our natural wood effectively until assembly. Our outdoor buildings are also built using panels with strong tongue and groove joints to ensure they stand the test of time. Better yet, why not go for a multi-room model to incorporate all your needs under one roof? That way, you can pair a sleek office for studying with a comfortable living space to relax, or a cosy guest room with a home cinema next door. The combinations are endless. If you want to paint your child’s playhouse, you’ll need a water-based exterior paint and a matching undercoat. You can go for matt paint for a non-reflective finish, gloss paint for a shiny pop of colour, or satin or semi-gloss paint for an in-between sheen. Why not turn the job of choosing the colour and painting the playhouse into a fun family activity? The teenage years can be a stressful time for our kids (and us), while they are trying to figure out who they are and get through their exams. Experts say it’s best to give your teens some space and create some barriers during this time, and a luxury garden room can help you do just that. Larger playhouses placed on less even ground are better off being constructed on top of a solid base, such as heavy-duty wood or concrete slabs. The surrounding area should have softer impact-absorbing ground such as grass, bark chips, or sand, especially for multi-storey tower playhouses.Got a tree with a reasonably solid branch at least ten feet off the ground? You’ve got yourself an instant den. Buy a mosquito canopy (even IKEA sells them these days), hang it from the branch, drape the curtains about elegantly and fill the space inside the canopy with cushions. Add a few fairy lights and you have your own (mosquito proof) reading nook. And, don’t forget one of the most important things: a reliable Wi-Fi connection. Your teens want to be able to scroll through social media for hours on end or access their favourite streaming apps without interruptions. That being said, why not install lightning ports or wireless charging pads for their phones, so they never run low on juice? The wood can be left as it is to enjoy its natural grain, or you can use paint or wood stain in a colour of your choice to customise the appearance of your outdoor playhouse. It’s easy to ensure that the playhouse fits in with the aesthetic of your other garden furniture, especially if you have a particular theme you’d like to uphold throughout without compromising on your child’s recreation opportunities. There are different qualities of wooden playhouse construction. Overlap playhouses are cheaper – they’re built from vertically overlapping timber slats affixed to a sturdy frame.

About - The Garden Den

This is a common question we get asked, and unfortunately, there isn’t a simple answer. The short answer is that it depends on a number of factors such as the size and height of your garden room, its intended use, where it will be located in your garden and whether or not you live in a conservation area. At Garden Buildings Direct, we offerkids outdoor playhouses to suit all homes and a range of ages. From our series of junior playhouses to log cabin cottage designs, and even bunk-level or tower designs, we can help find the right model for you and your family. Many of our children's designs are available in varying sizes - perfect for those with limited garden space. Let your kids project their personality in the space with their own decorations, furniture and lighting. This way, you can work together to design a space that suits their style and works around their needs. After all, it’s their space. What kind of heating and cooling system will you need? Will a simple electric heater be sufficient or do you need something more powerful, like an air conditioner? Layout If you’re planning on using the space for music or study, you’ll need to make sure it’s well insulated from external noise. Windows and doorsBefore you start applying anything, clean every surface you intend to paint so they’re completely free of dirt and dust. Then, you should use fine sandpaper to smooth down the surfaces to prepare them for the paint. You may want to use painter’s tape for clean edges, and lay down newspaper if you’re painting inside to prevent drips from going everywhere. Explore our range of outdoor playhouses today and let your children's adventure begin! What types are available? Doubtless, your garden room will need these, definitely the Wi-Fi! Before getting started you’ll want to decide which of these services you’ll need and then how you will get them to the garden room. Gas supply is probably unnecessary unless you want to include cooking appliances and a more robust heating solution, but electricity will be a must. It’s normally not too difficult to get power to an external annexe but you’d be best seeking advice from a qualified electrician, or better yet, professional garden room designers and builders like Garden Rooms 365! Soundproofing We advise you to place outdoor playhouses on concrete bases rather than sitting directly on the earth, to avoid the floor succumbing to rising damp, mould, and rot. While our children's log cabins look traditional, they're built to the most modern standards of durability. Children's Safety
