Actually purchasing such an item is extremely easy a visit to your local garden centre or DIY store and they will have a number of different designs that you can select from. Also if you find that you do not have the time then a quick search of the internet will provide you with some ideas as well. A lot of the playhouses that are currently available come in prefabricated kit form and can easily be installed by you as they come with a good set of instructions as well.

The other choice that you have open to you rather than going for a standard playhouse that anyone can buy, is in fact to have one custom made instead. Although they are more expensive than the prefabricated models you can select a design or come up with one that it completely unique instead.

When it comes to buying a playhouse for your garden for your children there are certain factors which need to be taken into consideration. In this article we take a look at just what some of these are and which should help you in selecting the right playhouse.

The first that you need to decide upon before anything else is where you are going to locate it in your garden. Once you know which position it will be in then you can choose the size and design that you want. Ideally place the playhouse in a position within the garden that the children can easily have access to it, but also somewhere that you also have unfettered views. Plus you should place it in a location within the garden that throughout the day natural sunlight is on it.

After you have selected the location now you can make a decision on what size of playhouse it is going to be. You should be aware that any building that is over 100 sq ft may require building permits from the local authority before it can be installed. So check with your local authority where you stand on this matter, also it may be prudent to speak with your neighbors to see if they have any objections.

Remember the size of playhouse you choose for your child should be one that will meet their requirements not only at the time when it is installed but as they grow up. Although prefabricated ones are cheaper, the custom built models are far more likely to meet these requirements and save you money in the long run as you are unlikely to need to replace it in the future.

Along with choosing the location and size of playhouse that you need the next stage is to decide what style it is you want. This is probably one of the most important considerations that you as a parent will need to take when selecting timber playhouses for children. It therefore may be a good idea to actually let your children have some input into this particular part of the selection process.
