FAQs
What is the recommended age range?
The playhouse is designed for children aged 3 to 10 years old.
Does it need to be anchored to the ground?
While it is stable, we recommend using appropriate ground anchors to ensure safety in areas prone to high winds.
Can I leave this out during the winter?
Yes, the cedar wood is designed for outdoor durability, though clearing heavy snow accumulation from the roof is recommended.
Are the play accessories included?
Yes, the set includes a toy sink, hob, and a cordless phone.
How long does assembly take?
With two adults and the provided instructions, most customers complete assembly in approximately 4 to 6 hours.
Troubleshooting
The playhouse door is sticking or not closing properly.
Verify that the unit is sitting on a perfectly level surface. Use a carpenter's level to check the base and adjust with shims if necessary.
The wood is showing signs of discoloration.
This is common with cedar exposed to direct sunlight. Lightly sand the affected area and apply a fresh coat of compatible exterior wood stain or sealant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is designed to be user-friendly; however, it is highly recommended to have two adults present to handle the larger wall panels. Ensure the playhouse is installed on level ground—if the ground is slightly uneven, use leveling shims to prevent door misalignment. For care, inspect the cedar wood every six months. It is recommended to apply a water-repellent sealant or stain annually to maintain the vibrant barnwood finish and protect the integrity of the wood fibers against ultraviolet light and moisture.
