A plastic playhouse for the garden that's spacious enough for a five-year-old and older?

[emkana]

Is there such a thing?

I don't think there is really they are all a bit small for over 5's. Little tikes have a castle and a wooden cabin that are a bit bigger than the usual ones but still suited for under 5,s.

I have had a good look at wooden ones and decided that when I have the money I will just get a normal garden hut, much cheaper and plenty head room. They are much better for storing other toys, especially if you put in high shelving.

Thanks for that, skribble.

Does anybody else know of one? [hopeful emoticon]

Most are for under 5's is there a reason why you don't want a wooden one?

I know you can find them less than £200. Look \link[http://www.outdoortoysdirect.co.uk/Childrens-Wooden-Playhouse/Waltons-Poppy-Playhouse\poppy playhouse} here. This is cheaper than plastic ones!

oops \link{http://www.outdoortoysdirect.co.uk/Childrens-Wooden-Playhouse/Waltons-Poppy-Playhouse\poppy playhouse} Seems a bargain, but in quite small.

I would get the biggest you can afford as they really do get used loads

There is a Step 2 Welcome Home one on \link{http://www.npfactivitytoys.co.uk/acatalog/Playhouses.html\this site} but it is almost £500 and still not much internal height.

Hi
I've been searching for the same thing as I want one for my one-year old, but know my 5-year old will play with it most! Having done some research I plumped for Little Tikes Log Cabin or the Interactive ImagineSounds one, as they both have a height of around 140cm. The Magic Doorbell playhouse is only c.110cm high. There are lots 2nd hand on Ebay and finally got the ImagineSounds last night for £67 which I thought was really good - John Lewis do it for £180. Toys 'r' Us were doing the Little Tikes Town House for £150 with picnic bench included; this playhouse is also quite tall and has a basketball net for older kids.
Good Luck
