A castle play structure with an additional raised decked platform with climbing wall.

The castle area has a decking floor and no roof, it has an octagonal topped door with a cross shape cut out in it, and two castle style unglazed windows. A staircase gives access to the platform on the right hand side: coming off from this platform is a slide.

Whether your child is a knight in shinny armour or a damson in distress, they will have hours of fun with this castle.

Specification

Your playhouse comes with a solid floor all ready to be laid onto a sub base, this can be shingle stones/concrete/paving slabs/tarmac/decking. The floor is constructed using 25mm x 50mmm tanolised bearers supporting an 18mm wbp external grade plywood floor: this is treated on the upper side with sadolin classic timber protection.  Sandwiched between the bearers and plywood is a damp proof membrane that then wraps around the edge and sits under the playhouse side.  The membrane is there to stop moisture coming up from the ground.

A soft floor is fitted to the ground floor of the playhouse once finished - this floor can be removed easily for cleaning.

Castles have a weatherproof ground floor with the first floor exposed to the elements.  We achieve this is by putting a felted roof, sloping to either the left or right on top of the first level we are then able to put a decking platform on top of this with a compensating angle making the roof flat.
We use two layers of waterproof membrane over a 12mm plywood base. The decking boards are tanolised and grooved.  Around the decking we then fit castellated walls and put in spacers treated the same as the playhouse sides to hide the roof.

The playframe sides are built to last; This type of construction is used for open buildings that are not weatherproof.  Initially a framework is built using 50mm x 38mm timber with rounded edges. To this we fix using galvanised brads, good quality redwood shiplap timber, this makes the side panels. These panels are then sanded and treated both inside and outside using two coats of Sadolin wood preservative. These are then fitted together on site.
 

All our doors are built with safety as a paramount concern. All are a special non-trap design, using piano hinge down the whole length of the door, and then a rebate on the inside of the hinged side. When the door is in the closed position there is a taper between the door and frame, so should little fingers be left in the way they will not be pinched. Doors are held closed with heavy duty magnets; this prevents a child getting locked in accidentally. The cut out window is glazed with unbreakable 2mm polycarbonate sheet.  Doors have a knob inside and out.
