            Description

            The ever-popular two-storey Shire Loft Playhouse is a spacious build guaranteed to provide plenty of fun for the kids. The interior offers an abundance of natural light, plenty of play space, and safety features as standard, so adults love it too.

            This playhouse has a beautifully traditional single door, with a diamond porthole window and classic fixings, four large windows, and two window boxes as standard, with the option to add more. The playhouse is fitted with safety hinges on its door and windows, meaning little fingers are protected, and all the windows are glazed with environmentally-friendly shatter resistant styrene, a safer alternative to glass.

            Shire always aim to provide the very best quality playhouses. The Loft is made from a high-grade shiplap pine in a sturdy tongue and groove construction, making it better sealed from the elements and giving it an attractive look. The floor is also constructed from tongue and groove cladding for a more water resistant, longer-lasting build. The timber used is a continental slow-grown timber, distinguished from the fast-grown type used on cheaper playhouses from other manufacturers by its tighter grain, extra strength and longer life. This really is one of the best value two storey playhouses available.

            This Shire playhouse is supplied with a dip-treated base coat as standard, with a top coat available as an option for a stronger and golden brown finish. The Loft Playhouse does not come pre-painted, giving you a blank canvas to tailor to the children's desires. The manufacturer recommends applying a water-based top coat of your choice, preventing the timber from weathering and therefore making the playhouse last longer. We offer a range of Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish treatments, available in a number of natural stains and colours, which is ideal for protecting your playhouse.

            The Shire Loft Playhouse is supplied flat-packed for ease of handling and assembly. All fittings and felt are included in the price, with clear, easy-to-follow instructions, though you can choose to add assembly if desired.

            Upon Delivery
            Delivery is made by Shire the manufacturer. Delivery of this item is typically made by a 17 ton flat-bed (similar size to a council refuse lorry). Delivery is typically between 7am and 7pm. The delivery drivers are only insured to deliver to kerb side or driveway. We would not risk damaging your property whilst delivering a product. Unfortunately we will not be able to go through your property. Deliveries are hand-balled off by the driver.

            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.


            Installation option
            If you are choosing the installation option after placing your order you’ll be contacted within 5 working days by Shire the manufacturer either by a text message or automated telephone message (the latter if a mobile number is not supplied). This message will supply you with the name of the website to go on to where you will be required to accept the terms and conditions for assembly. Any delay in accepting these terms and conditions may affect your timescale. Once you have accepted these terms and conditions you will be contacted during the timescale with a date for the delivery/assembly of your order. The installation option will extend your lead time by up to 15-25 working days. This may take longer during seasonal periods. Please be aware that the installation team will require full access to your garden, 18' clearance all around the building and a firm and level base. Shire's installation team will not bring a building through your home as they are not covered by insurance to enter a customer’s home.

            Specification

            Please note: all imperial measurements are approximate, and the Shire Playhouses are made from metric measurements. We would recommend that the base is at least 50mm bigger in each direction.

            " Great playhouse: The play house arrived on time. The instructions were hard to follow (very basic) and it took 2 men a day and a half for it to be built and painted. Seems sturdy and the children (age 1 and 4) love it! Hannah Corbett"
