With a choice of wacky ladder, standard ladder, rope net climb, or rock climbing wall, adventurers of all ages can make their way up to the higher level. A firefighter pole and tube slide offer quick ways back down.
Wrapped around a massive redwood tree, this two-story structure transforms a corner of the yard into a child’s paradise, making a visit to Grandma and Grandpa’s house the highlight of the summer.
Even when the grandkids are away, the treehouse’s visually pleasing look adds charm to the backyard. Stay tuned for our next blog post on the adorable interior of this project.
Below the bridge, three different types of swings can accommodate grandchildren at various stages of development.
The door to the interior of the clubhouse includes our signature who-goes-there peephole and a mailbox slot for letters or secret messages.
To allow the kids to flex their imaginations, we’ve included a drop leaf table and two drop seats which give the option of clearing the space for more active pursuits, or creating a dreamy seating area.
What’s on the menu today? Whether it’s stone soup or mud pie, this inviting wooden kitchen set stands at the ready on the bottom floor. The counter extends over the cleverly hidden secret escape door.
Upstairs, a full-length corner cupboard provides storage for playhouse toys. Above, the chalkboard is ready to display the specials of the day, or to work out the formula for the secret potion that will turn the wicked witch into a frog.
In the corner, there’s a working “top secret” safe with the combination mounted on the wall behind the shield. A wall-mounted chalkboard encourages creativity. However, the windows are secured so no one gets too creative and tries to climb out them!
In addition to the many exterior features, the interior is also bursting with possibilities. In collaboration with the family, we customized the palette and play features to uniquely suit the children who will be exploring this structure.
Both levels are stocked with a multitude of play accessories built from sustainable redwood and colored with our signature natural tung-oil stain that we manufacture right at the shop. This stain imparts vibrant hues while still letting the natural grain of the lumber show through as well as protecting the wood from the elements.
