The 5 x 5 Mercia Poppy Apex Wooden Playhouse is a charming and traditional garden retreat designed to encourage imaginative play. With a compact footprint and attractive apex roof, it's perfect for smaller outdoor spaces while still offering a fun and secure environment for children. The rounded timbers, finger gap around the door, and ventilation holes help ensure this playhouse meets high safety standards — it is both EN71 certified and UKCA marked.

Constructed in the UK from sustainably sourced timber, the Poppy Playhouse features high-quality 12mm shiplap tongue and groove cladding for added strength and weather protection. Internally supported by thick wooden framing and finished with a solid OSB floor and roof, it’s built to withstand regular use and the British climate. The dip-treated timber is protected against rot and comes with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee (annual re-treatment required), providing long-lasting peace of mind for parents.
