FAQs
If you have some time on your hands and access to tools, you might be thinking about building your own playhouse. What you won’t get, however, is any guarantee that materials will be in stock or of the same high-quality European sourced timber that we use in all our BillyOh playhouses. For more on whether it's cheaper to build or buy a playhouse, check out our blog.
We recommend that you use EN71-compliant (or water-based) paint for your playhouse interior. We also offer both trim and wall colour options on our BillyOh two-storey playhouses.

We suggest following this step for all garden buildings - be it a shed or a kid’s playhouse. Building any outdoor building straight onto the ground isn’t advised!
You’ll end up with an uneven frame that puts pressure on your playhouse and maybe even causes damp and rot. So you’ll want to build a base. Start by levelling and checking your ground level with string lines.
You can then either use pavers, a timber sub-frame, a gravel-filled plastic foundation base, or you can pour a small concrete slab. You can always dig out the four corners of your proposed site and sink paving stones in builder’s sand. This will allow you to raise your corner’s up or lower them as necessary.
Once your shed site is level, you can figure out how to build a shed base. For a children’s playhouse, you should be fine with building a timber sub-floor. As there won’t be much weight in your playhouse, building a concrete slab might be overkill. Just remember to raise your playhouse floor off the ground to avoid damp!
Our BillyOh wooden playhouses all feature the same high-quality European sourced timber and sturdy interlocking tongue and groove panels. But if we had to pick some of our favourite two-storey playhouses, they’d be:

Playhouses aren’t generally considered to be permanent structures no matter their height. So you shouldn’t need planning permission. However, as rules vary county-to-country, it’s worth checking and running it by neighbours. All our BillyOh two-storey playhouses fall under the requirements for garden building height so should fall under ‘permitted development’ and not require planning permission.
Check out this resource for more information on planning permission UK.
We’d advise against building any outdoor structure (no matter how small) straight onto grass. Building on unlevel ground can put uneven pressure on your garden building causing a whole host of problems including cracked timber and pressure on windows. Instead, level the proposed site of your wooden playhouse and build either a small concrete base or a foundation from gravel, a timber sub-floor, or level pavers.

Why Buy a 2-Storey Play House?
If you’re looking for a wooden two-storey playhouse for kids, look no further. Thanks to tongue and groove interlocking construction, our wooden playhouses are sturdy garden buildings that will last for years to come. With interlocking panels creating a tight seal, your kid’s playhouse will have the best protection possible against harsh weather conditions and water ingress. (Bear in mind, safety gaps around doors may allow for minor water ingress).
Children's Playhouse Built for Safety
All of our kid’s two-storey playhouses are EN71-compliant and built with your children’s safety in mind. Our styrene SAN shatterproof windows allow for plenty of natural light ensuring that your child’s two-storey playhouse is both safe and fun. Our two-storey playhouse timber is ready-planed to minimise splinters and all our playhouses are built for domestic use with toddlers in mind.
Because our wooden playhouses are intended for toddlers, they aren’t suitable for children aged under 36 months. This is in part, due to small parts which may present potential choking hazards. Furthermore, with a maximum user weight of 50kg, our two storey playhouses aren’t designed for older children. We suggest an age of 3-12.
For further safety, we suggest keeping your wooden playhouse outside and at least 2m from other structures or obstructions. Finally, to ensure your children’s safety, we highly recommend adult supervision.
A wooden playhouse with a bunk level offers more ways to use your playhouse more of the time. Ultimately, our two storey playhouses are garden buildings which will make a brilliant addition to any garden!
