Rebo Woodpecker Wooden Playhouse (5FT x 5FT, Extra Large)

Wooden Children's Playhouse

From: Rebo

What makes a garden playhouse worth buying? Sturdy build and honest materials. The Rebo Rebo 5FT x 5FT Wooden Playhouse is made from planed, rounded, pressure-treated timber designed to handle British weather all year round.

The built-in veranda gives children extra space to play outside the main structure, while three perspex windows let in natural light and keep an eye on the little ones easier. The wooden floor and 11.5mm tongue and groove timber walls create a genuinely sturdy structure that won't wobble about.

Front, back and side panels arrive pre-assembled, cutting down build time significantly. Fancy a different colour? Stain or paint it however you like to match your garden.

Product Features

Pressure-Treated Timber - The wood undergoes pressure treatment which forces preservatives deep into the timber fibres. This stops rot and decay from moisture exposure. Why does this matter? A garden playhouse left outdoors year-round needs this protection to last more than a season or two. Built-In Veranda - This playhouse comes with a covered porch area attached to the main structure. Children get a sheltered spot to play games or store toys without stepping inside. It also adds visual charm and extra usable space to the 5FT x 5FT footprint. Pre-Assembled Panels - Front, back and side wall sections come already put together at the factory. This means less time spent following instructions and drilling individual planks together. Assembly becomes faster and more straightforward for people without much DIY experience.

Perspex Windows - Three acrylic windows are fitted into the structure, letting daylight flood the interior. Perspex is shatter-resistant unlike glass, making it a safer choice around children. Parents can also see inside easily while their kids play. Customisable Finish - The bare timber exterior accepts paint or wood stain readily. Families can pick colours that suit their garden or let children choose their own scheme. This turns a standard playhouse into a one-off personal project. Mineral Felt Roof - A weatherproof felt covering comes fitted to the roof structure, included in the box. This layer keeps rain from soaking through the timber roof panels below. Without it, water damage would shorten the playhouse's lifespan considerably.

FAQs

How long does assembly take?

Customer reviews suggest around six hours at a steady pace for two people. One reviewer noted it took roughly triple the time stated in the instructions. Having two drill drivers on hand speeds things up, so you're not constantly swapping between drill bits and screwdriver heads.

Does the playhouse come with a floor?

Yes. A wooden floor is included as part of the structure. It's recommended to prepare a level, flat base in your garden before delivery arrives, as this makes the whole build noticeably easier.

Can I paint or stain this playhouse?

Yes. The timber is untreated in terms of colour, so it readily accepts wood stain or exterior paint. This means you can match it to your garden or let your children pick their favourite colour scheme.

What's included in the box?

The playhouse comes with a mineral felt roof, built-in veranda, all necessary fixings and three perspex windows. Front, back and side panels arrive pre-assembled to reduce build time.

Is the wood weather-resistant?

The timber is pressure-treated, which forces preservative deep into the wood fibres to resist rot and decay from rain exposure. This process helps the playhouse hold up against typical UK weather conditions over multiple seasons.

What age is this playhouse suitable for?

This is listed as suitable for children broadly, without a specific minimum or maximum age stated by the manufacturer. Given the 151 x 157 x 164cm dimensions, it suits younger children through to primary school age comfortably.

How much does the playhouse weigh and does that affect delivery?

The complete playhouse weighs 101kg. Given this weight, delivery typically arrives on a pallet or in multiple boxes. Check access to your garden beforehand, as moving components through narrow side gates may prove tricky.

What if parts arrive damaged or missing?

One reviewer noted minor delivery damage but reported the company was responsive when contacted with photos. Another mentioned receiving an incorrect roof piece, which was replaced after contacting customer service. Taking photos immediately upon delivery is worthwhile if you spot any issues.
