AXI Mette Playhouse (Crayon Blue, 383 x 367 x 265cm)

Wooden Outdoor Playhouse

From: AXI

The AXI Playhouse in wood gives children a proper outdoor base for play. This two-storey design stands 265cm tall and includes a 220cm slide, two swings, a picnic table and a built-in sandpit. There's even a telescope for garden adventures.

Built from pre-stained cedar wood, the frame resists weathering and rotting over time. All parts arrive cut to size and marked with part numbers, which makes assembly far more straightforward than most flat-pack furniture.

At 383 x 367cm footprint, it fits neatly into smaller gardens without dominating the space. Suitable for children aged 3 to 10 years, it meets EN71 safety standards throughout.

Product Features

Cedar Wood Construction - Pre-stained cedar resists rot and weathering far better than standard softwoods. This means the playhouse holds up through British rain and winter frost without warping or rotting at the base. Less maintenance for parents over the years. Multi-Activity Design - This isn't just a playhouse. It combines a slide, two swings, a sandpit and a picnic table in one structure. Children get several play styles in a single footprint, which is useful if garden space is limited. Marked Assembly Parts - Every wooden piece comes cut to size and stamped with a part number. This cuts down on guesswork during assembly and reduces the chance of fitting the wrong panel in the wrong place.

220cm Slide - The slide runs from the upper platform at 119cm height down to ground level. That's a decent drop for younger children, giving genuine speed and excitement without being too steep or frightening. EN71 Safety Compliance - This is the European safety standard for toys and play equipment. It covers structural stability, material safety and choking hazards. Parents get independent verification that the build meets recognised safety benchmarks. Compact Footprint - At 383 x 367cm, the base fits gardens that couldn't accommodate a larger play tower. You get swings, a slide and a sandpit without needing a huge outdoor space.

FAQs

What age group is this playhouse suitable for?

AXI designed this playhouse for children aged 3 to 10 years. The maximum weight recommendation per swing or platform area is 50kg. It's not suitable for children under 3 due to small parts and platform height.

How long does assembly take?

AXI doesn't publish an exact assembly time, but all wooden parts come cut to size and marked with part numbers to match the instruction manual. Two adults working together typically find this quicker than tackling it alone, given the size and weight of the panels.

What wood is the playhouse made from?

The frame uses pre-stained cedar wood. Cedar is naturally resistant to weathering and rotting, which matters for a structure left outdoors year-round in the UK climate.

Does it come with a sandpit included?

Yes. The sandpit is built into the base structure with dimensions matching the overall footprint. Sand isn't included, so you'll need to fill it yourself once assembled.

How much space do I need in my garden?

The full structure measures 383cm wide by 367cm deep by 265cm high. Allow extra clearance around the slide and swings for safe use, plus space for adult supervision access.

Is the playhouse safe for unsupervised play?

No. AXI states this playhouse should only be used under direct adult supervision. This applies to the swings, slide and upper platform in particular, given the 119cm platform height.

Does the swing set attach to the main house structure?

Yes, the two swings are integrated into the overall frame rather than sold as a separate attachment. This keeps the whole unit as one connected structure rather than several separate pieces in the garden.

What tools do I need for assembly?

AXI includes an instruction manual with the parts, though specific tools aren't listed in the available product data. Based on similar wooden playhouse kits, you'll typically need a screwdriver, spirit level and a second person to help hold panels during construction.
