Rebo ClassicPlay Premium (5ft, Ice Blue)

Wooden Garden Playhouse

From: Rebo

The Classicplay Premium playhouse gives children a proper outdoor activity centre rather than just a place to sit. It measures 5ft x 5ft and sits on a raised deck with a built-in veranda, so there's room for climbing, swinging and sliding all in one structure. The frame is built from pressure treated timber, which resists rot and stands up to UK weather.

Kids climb the ladder, cross the deck, then take the 175cm injection moulded slide down. Attach a hose and the slide doubles as a waterslide for summer play. A single swing arm with child seat is fitted to one side.

At the end sits an up-and-over climbing wall. One face has coloured climbing holds and a rope; the other has a cargo net. Inside, a wooden floor and Perspex acrylic windows keep the play space bright and dry.

Product Features

Waterslide function - The 175cm slide connects to a garden hose for water play in summer. This turns a standard slide into a two-season feature. Kids get climbing and sliding fun in dry weather and a cooling water slide when it's warm. No extra parts needed beyond your own hose. Dual climbing wall - One side has climbing holds and a rope for a traditional climbing wall challenge. The other side has a cargo net. This gives children two different ways to climb, which helps develop grip strength, balance and problem-solving as they figure out each route. Pressure treated timber - The wood is treated to resist rot, insect damage and weather decay before it leaves the factory. This means the structure lasts longer outdoors without needing immediate staining or painting. It's a standard method for outdoor wooden play equipment in the UK.

Raised deck with veranda - The playhouse sits on a raised platform with a covered veranda area. This adds extra floor space for play beyond the main cabin and gives children a spot to sit and look out. It also raises the entry point to the slide. Perspex windows - Acrylic windows let light into the cabin without the risk of broken glass. Perspex is tougher than standard glass and safer for children's play areas. It keeps the inside of the playhouse bright rather than dark and enclosed. Customisable finish - The timber arrives untreated in terms of colour, so it can be painted or stained to match a garden or a child's preference. Mineral felt for the roof and door fixings are included, so the main structural finishing is done for you.

FAQs

What tools do I need to build this playhouse?

You'll need a drill at minimum. The timber is not pre-drilled, so screws need to be driven in during assembly. Full instructions are included in the box to guide you through each step. Having a second person to help hold panels steady makes the job easier, especially given the size of the structure.

Does the waterslide feature come with a hose?

No, a hose is not included. The slide is designed with a waterslide function built in, meaning you can connect your own garden hose to add water for extra fun on warm days. Without a hose connected, it works as a standard dry slide.

Is the wood pre-treated or do I need to stain it myself?

The timber is pressure treated, which protects it from rot and pests. This treatment does not include a colour finish though. You can paint or stain the wood if you want to change its appearance or add another layer of weather protection, but this is optional rather than required for the structure to hold up outdoors.

My delivery has cracks in the wood, is this normal?

Yes. This product is made from natural wood and small splits or cracks can appear as the timber dries and settles, even before delivery. This is a normal characteristic of solid wood products and does not affect the strength or structural integrity of the playhouse.

How much space do I need in my garden for this playhouse?

The playhouse itself measures 5ft x 5ft (roughly 152cm x 152cm), but you should factor in extra clearance for the slide length of 175cm and the swing's arc of movement. A rough guide would be to allow at least 3-4 metres of clear space around the structure for safe use.

Is the climbing wall suitable for younger children?

The climbing wall has two route options: coloured holds with a rope on one side and a cargo net on the other. Younger or less confident climbers may find the cargo net easier to grip and use, while the coloured holds offer more of a challenge for older or more experienced climbers. Adult supervision is recommended for climbing activities.

What's included in the box for the roof and doors?

Mineral felt is supplied for the roof, which needs to be fitted during assembly to weatherproof the top of the playhouse. Door fixings, such as hinges, are also included so you can attach the door as part of the build.

How long does assembly usually take?

This isn't specified by the manufacturer, but given the structure includes a playhouse, deck, veranda, slide, swing arm and climbing wall, this is a multi-hour build rather than a quick job. Setting aside a full day and having a second pair of hands, is a sensible approach for a structure of this size and complexity.
