When it comes to children’s outdoor play, garden playhouses shine. And if you have multiple kids or want to make sure it has longevity as they grow, the bigger, the better!
When you’re looking for large playhouses, you should consider the value for money against the size, the style appeal for your kids, and the child safety certifications. Check out the bestselling options below.
BillyOh Lollipop Max Playhouse
Experience the Lollipop Max, a spacious play house perfect for those needing extra room. Measuring 6×7, it offers plenty of space for children to play and explore.
Expand the play area with two options: 1.) a platform adds a slatted wooden floor to the front, and 2.) a picket fence helps keep toys organised. And with four Georgian windows and a half-glazed door, it ensures plenty of natural light.
Easy to assemble, with sturdy 11mm panels, a tongue-and-groove roof and floor, and weather-resistant roofing felt.
BillyOh Lollipop Max Tower Playhouse
This is an upgraded version of the Lollipop Max model—the same spacious dimension but is elevated. Its tower design creates extra space underneath, which your little ones can use as a shaded play area or a mini garden for shade-loving plants.
The leader comes with a safety rail—and for even more excitement, you can add a standard or premium slide. Assembly is quick and easy with pre-assembled wall panels and clear instructions.
BillyOh Gingerbread Max Playhouse
What we like about Gingerbread Max is you can opt for bunk option to maximise the space. With this, the large playhouse becomes even more versatile!
The bunk can be used as an extra play level, a sleepover spot, a secret hideaway, or a lookout for imaginative games. Meanwhile, the space underneath stays open for more play, storage, or even a small table and chairs for tea parties or arts and crafts.
This unit comes with four cottage-style windows, with shutters on the two outer ones and flower boxes. Such details give the playhouse a classic look while also letting in plenty of light, making it an inviting space to play.
BillyOh Annex Log Cabin Wooden Playhouse
The Annex is designed to look like a miniature log cabin, built from lighter-coloured but equally high-quality European-sourced timber. This two storey playhouse stands at 239cm (tall enough for an adult to stand inside!) and features 19mm log walls, along with five large, safety-glazed windows—making it a fantastic choice for a large playhouse.
This model has a multi-floor layout, so there’s loads of space for the kids to play. The snug on the first floor is a handy little spot—great for reading, storing toys, or just having a bit of quiet time. It’s also the perfect hideout for games or a cosy den if the older ones fancy making it their own.
BillyOh Peardrop Extra Playhouse
Peardrop Extra has two levels connected by a small ladder or staircase. The bottom level is usually the main play area, while the top can be a lookout or extra play space.
Available in 6×7 and 8×7 feet sizes, it’s a generously sized playhouse with room for all sorts of activities. This model also comes with custom options like internal bunks, platforms, and picket fencing. The internal bunk includes a ladder and safety rail, so you know it’s safe and secure.
Why Parents Trust Playhouses from Garden Buildings Direct
All our playhouse units comply with the British Standards (BS) EN71, meaning they’re built with kids in mind. They’re designed to be a safe and fun space for your little one to play, from the materials used to the smooth edges, fire safety, and solid build. You can relax knowing they’re playing in something that’s been tested and certified.
Large playhouses take outdoor fun to the next level. Each model is designed for fun and supports kids’ physical, social, and creative development.
Other safety features included in our playhouses:
Shatterproof glazing
All windows come with durable single SAN glazing as standard. This shatterproof glazing is a safer alternative to glass, which can break easily and leave sharp edges. It’s tough, long-lasting, and ideal for a busy play space while still letting plenty of natural light.
Finger gap around the door
Doors can be a common hazard for small fingers, which is why our playhouses include a built-in gap around the door. This reduces the risk of pinched fingers when opening or closing.
Non-toxic treatment
We know kids love to touch, explore, and sometimes even chew on things—that’s why we use a non-toxic treatment on our playhouses. It protects the wood from the elements without any harsh chemicals, so you don’t have to worry about your little one being exposed to anything unsafe while they play.
Timber-treated units also have a 10-year guarantee against rot, decay, and insect infestation. Safe for them, long-lasting for you!
Ventilation holes
Ventilation holes allow fresh air to circulate inside and prevent stuffiness and condensation. This means a more comfortable space for your child to play in, even on warmer days. Good airflow also helps prevent musty smells and keeps the room feeling fresh for everyday play.
