Your Children Will Have a Space of Their Own with a Children’s Wooden Playhouse
Children love to have a space to claim as their own, but parents want to know their children are safe. A children’s wooden playhouse can give your little ones a secure space on your property where they feel independent. You can find many models of new and used children’s wooden playhouses in the collection available on eBay.
How do you choose a wooden playhouse?There are two major items to consider in choosing a playhouse: the size of the structure and the size of the child. The footprint of these structures varies by model. Smaller models are 1.2 metres by 1.2 metres. The average playhouse is 1.5 metres by 2 metres. A playhouse with a height less than 1.5 metres would be appropriate for smaller children. Older children will appreciate larger models closer to 2 metres in height.
What are the features of the playhouses in this collection?There are many playhouse models available, and styles vary. Some common features of these playhouses are
- Durable wood construction: Treated lumber makes for construction that will last outdoors throughout the year.
- Roof: Roofing materials depend on the model. Wood shingles, sheet metal, and bitumen shingles are common.
- Door: There are single, double, and split door models available.
- Window openings: These are not glass windows but openings for ventilation.
- Porch: Put some chairs out for a summer tea party.
- Ladders, ramps, and steps: In taller models, children can access platforms or second storeys with these climbing features.
Some of the used playhouses come with creative decoration done by the previous owner. The new models are constructed of natural wood and can be painted, inside and out, whatever your preference may be. Some models also include built-in planters that allow your children to have natural, floral decorations in the warmer months.
