Professional wendy house assembly - outdoor playhouses built sturdy with proper construction. Doors that close, windows that open, and a solid structure that lasts.
A House Of Their Own
Garden playhouses give children their own space for imagination - shop, cafe, castle, whatever they dream up. But they need building properly to survive weather and enthusiastic play.
💡 Pro tip: Position with the door facing away from prevailing wind. In Devon, that usually means facing east or southeast.

🔧 DIY Tips
Building yourself? Here's the reality:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Drill/driver
- Mallet
- Spirit level
- Socket set
- Helper (essential)
📐 Getting it right
- Read ALL instructions first
- Prepare level ground
- Have helper throughout
- Start with floor perfectly level
- Keep frame square as you go
- Don't rush the roof
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Floor not level (everything wonky after)
- Missing fixings (they're all needed)
- Rushing before paint dries
- Not sealing roof joints
💡 Pro trick: Mark the positions of hidden studs inside before cladding goes on - you'll need them for shelves and hooks later.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a wendy house take to build?
3-5 hours depending on size and complexity. Larger houses with multiple features take longer. We'll give you a time estimate based on your specific model.
Do I need to prepare the ground first?
A level surface helps - grass is fine if it's reasonably flat. For larger houses or clay soil, consider paving slabs underneath. We can advise when we see the location.
Will you treat the wood?
Most playhouses come pre-treated. If yours doesn't, we can apply preservative treatment to protect against weather. This adds to the time and cost.
Can you anchor it down?
Yes - especially important in exposed gardens. Ground anchors stop the playhouse lifting in strong winds. Recommended for any raised location.
