The Mad Dash Annex Log Cabin Wooden Playhouse: How safe is it?

The Mad Dash Annex Log Cabin Playhouse may look amazing from all angles but the most important question for every parent and carer is will it be safe for my child? Here at whatshed.co.uk we take a look at any aspects of the playhouse that may cause concern for safety as well as looking in more detail at the superb features that the playhouse has to offer.

Playhouse: The playhouse has a fantastic 10x8ft interior that comprises of a main floor and a raised bunk which is accessed by ladder. The tongue and groove interlocking boards provide a sturdy structure and are smooth and rounded to provide a safe play environment.

Windows: With multiple windows on both storeys the playhouse interior is filled with light and has an airy feel due to the 7ft10 height. The windows do not have an open and close function, therefore preventing any accidents from the raised height of the second storey and any incidents involving trapped fingers.

Door: The door is a charming stable door design that provides a nice access point for small children. With handles on both parts of the door, your child’s safety has been taken into consideration, however care must be taken that small fingers don’t become trapped in the middle of the two doors.

Raised bunk: The raised bunk is supported by strong wooden joists and accessed by ladder. The ladder is fixed to both the bunk and the floor to allay any concerns about safety. Smaller children will need to be shown how to climb up and down the ladder safely to avoid any accidents.
