Description

The 5’x5’ Poppy playhouse from Mercia is a tried and trusted design and has been a long-standing favourite among children and customers alike since its introduction.

Children, being naturally drawn to playing outside, can benefit enormously from having a little place of their own in the garden. It can help develop their learning abilities, stimulate creativity and encourage them to be physically active.

Features

With its traditional apex-roof design, The Poppy Playhouse has been given a ‘story-book’ type look in Georgian style architecture complete with an attractive 0.25m veranda. It's abundant in ‘fairy-tale’ style charm making it an attractive addition to any garden looking especially great painted in one of our Royal Exterior shades from Protek.

The exterior is manufactured from 12mm planed and rounded Baltic sourced timber and comprises of factory machined tongue and groove boards. This will make certain a tight and robust construction is achieved which will be splinter-free, hard-wearing and water resistant.

The veranda not only adds an appealing detail to the house, but it can also help keep your children a little cooler in summer months and fend off light showers when it rains. Around the door, there’s also a thoughtful 12mm gap to prevent little fingers from getting trapped or hurt.

Ensuring tough and long-lasting performance, the floor comprises of a solid-sheet 10mm OSB board with bearers attached underside giving just the right clearance from the ground. This will help the building to remain damp and mould free for many years to come.

Don’t worry about the front window or door window either – it's fixed and glazed with 100% shatter-proof styrene making them a safe alternative to glass.

Let their imaginations run free with The Poppy Playhouse from Mercia - fun for your family and friends and should put a smile on your face too!

Treating your Playhouse

All Mercia Playhouses are pre-treated with Aquatan, a water-based treatment which results in a golden-brown finish. Our factory applied dip treatment may differ in shade between components as it is simply a basecoat. This treatment only helps to prevent discolouration of the building while in storage and during transit. To validate your guarantee and ensure the longevity of the product, it is essential that the building is treated with a high quality, water-based, timber preservative prior to or shortly after construction. Annual re-treatment is required to maintain your building and the 10 year anti-rot guarantee.

Safety and Suitability

The Mercia Poppy Playhouse is only suitable for children aged 36 months or above and must be sited outdoors. The playhouse has been awarded an EN71 Safety Certificate, highlighting the product’s quality and providing assurance as to its safety for this age group. 

Please note: The Mercia Poppy Playhouse is supplied unpainted. Some images may show the product painted and/or decorated with accessories/furnishings. This is for display purposes only. Your order will not be delivered with any of the accessories/furnishings shown.

Booking Delivery

You will be required to book your delivery date at the time of placing your order (except for Metal Shed). Our 'Request a Delivery Date' service is available to the majority of areas and you'll find that the majority of the UK postcodes are FREE but some areas may incur a delivery surcharge and some postcodes are not covered at all. Select a 'requested delivery date' by entering your postcode in the 'Request a delivery date' section above. You will also be notified at this time if your area incurs a surcharge or delivery is not covered in your area.

Prior to Delivery

On the morning of your delivery date, you'll be sent an update by text with an estimated 2-hour delivery slot (this update can only be provided where a mobile number has been supplied on the billing address section at the time of checkout) together with a link to the manufacturer delivery portal where you'll be able to track your order.

Please note: Mercia Metal Sheds ONLY - your order is delivered by a courier you will not be notified prior to the delivery. If you are not in on the day of the delivery you will be carded and asked to contact the courier to arrange a new mutual delivery date. The estimated delivery lead time for Mercia's Metal sheds is identified on the product for the metal shed. Lead times are on working days (Monday - Friday) excludes Bank Holidays. These estimated lead times are provided by the manufacturer. Some remote areas will take a little longer.

Upon Delivery

Your order is delivered either kerbside or driveway and will be delivered on either a 3.5T, 7.5T or 18T Lorry. Unfortunately due to health and safety and insurance liabilities the driver will not be able to take your goods around to the back of your property but may upon request place the product at the side of the house if there are no access or restriction issues. We would not risk damaging your property whilst delivering a product to an unsafe location. Unfortunately, we will not be able to go through your property.

We would recommend against arranging for a third party to install the building before it's been delivered and checked that all parts are present, as we cannot be held liable for any third-party costs.

Orders with Assembly 

The lead time for our installation option is around 7 Weeks from the date of order. With the installation option, the majority of orders will have their delivery and installation on separate days; there will be a small number of orders which will have delivery and installation on the same day. You will be advised by the manufacturer's installation team which category your order falls into.

Depending on the installation option for your order, you will be contacted within the delivery timescale and given a date for either delivery/assembly on the same date or a separate date for delivery and assembly.
