The Mad Dash Log Cabin Annex Wooden Playhouse: Questions you may have

We understand that parents and carers of children, particularly those looking after younger children, may have concerns and questions regarding the playhouse’s features and aspects of safety during play. The team at whatshed.co.uk identify and discuss any such features or concerns below.

Window: With multiple, translucent acrylic windows, this playhouse has feature windows that are strong and unbreakable should pressure be applied to them in any way. They have decorative shutters as a charming added feature; however the windows themselves do not open.

Door: The stable door provides a welcoming entrance to the playhouse and with looped handles both aspects of the door are easy to open and stop children from trying to open the door with their fingers, making it a great safety feature.

Ladder: The internal ladder to gain access to the raised bunk/second level of the playhouse is fixed at both the bottom and top making it safe for children during play. Younger children may require parental supervision during use, at least until they get used to coming up and down the ladder safely.

Raised bunk: The raised bunk is an exciting added feature to this playhouse that children will enjoy. Similar to a mezzanine level, the lower level can be viewed from this height, allowing your child to create a secret hideout of their very own.

Interior space: The 10x8x8ft interior is a wonderful double-storey space for children of all ages. Due to the height of the door, it may be more comfortable for children under the age of seven however that is the only restriction we could find.

The Mad Dash Log Cabin Annex Wooden Playhouse: Our final thoughts

What can we say, this is certainly the most stylish and one of largest playhouses on the market right now. When you first see this playhouse it definitely has the wow factor and with a 10x8x8ft interior, any child would be thrilled to have this playhouse to call their own. The price tag is certainly hefty and more in line with an adult’s summer house than a playhouse but you definitely get what you pay for as the specification on this playhouse is incredible. If you want the best then you wouldn’t be far off if you purchased the annex playhouse.
