Playhouses From Our Childhood
By Rob D Stone

Everybody knows playing outside is fun and very good for our children. Outdoor play is the part of our childhood we will always remember and cherish fondly the memories of past summers playing in the garden.

Unfortunately in this day and age we cannot send our kids of to the park to play on the swings or in the woods climbing trees like we did in our day, every parent wants to know our children have lots of fun and adventures yet at the same time keeping and eye on them to ensure they are safe at all times.

It is now very common and a fantastic idea for parents to make the back garden a mini adventure area for our kids to have fun in safely. Many go for metal swings and sometimes a slide. Unfortunately metal play equipment such as these are not as safe or visually appealing to our kids as more popular wooden structures, more specifically wooden playhouses.

There are quite a number of benefits to installing a wooden playhouse or other wooden equipment over their metal counterparts.Wood heats up a lot better than metals or plastics so kids can play outside even on chilly mornings without the cold effecting their grip or fun. Metal and plastics can heat up a lot more in the hot summer sun whereas wood can stay at a comfortable temperature meaning your kids won t be at risk of burning their hands on the metal or plastic handles.

Wood is a lot more natural to your gardens surroundings and wont need painting. Metal play equipment often comes painted but usually with cheap paint that will peel off very easily leaving the structure ugly and in need or more care and attention than wooden ones.

Wooden playhouses and play equipment is very easy to look after and can be assembled very easily. They come in many different varieties such as playhouses on stilts, tree houses or just houses that sit on the ground. They are easy to build onto when your kids start to grow and want bigger play areas and are easily used to add onto such as swings, slides or climbing frames.

The best part of a wooden playhouse is its sturdiness, as a parent we always want our kids to be playing in a safe environment. Wooden playhouses can last for years with very little maintenance which in the long term can save you a lot of money.
