Getting kids outside can be a challenge, especially with screens everywhere. But a wooden playhouse might do the trick! They add a bit of fun to the outdoors and give kids a spot to call their own. To find the best wooden playhouse, consider which one will appeal the most to your children, and how much space they’ll need.
Our Best BillyOh Wooden Playhouses
Each playhouse brings something different to the table. See which one fits your space and your child’s imagination:
BillyOh Peardrop Extra Playhouse
With the Peardrop, there’s more reason for little ones to head outdoors and stay active. It features a multi-floor layout, giving them plenty of space to play. And a model this large is likely to last a lot longer as the children grow up.
An internal bunk is available for add-ons to have a two-storey playhouse layout. Your kids can have the ground floor for activities like pretend cooking. Meanwhile, the top level is for their stuffed toy customers to “wait for their food,” or their resting spot.
Windows with faux shutters and flower boxes complete the look. Plus, a picket fence customisation that matches the solid wood construction.
BillyOh Lollipop Junior Tower Playhouse
If your kids want something more elevated, they’ll love the BillyOh Lollipop Junior! This wooden playhouse comes with a climbing ladder and a safety rail for added fun and security.
The apex-style roof provides generous height and shelters the balcony area. For even more excitement, you can add a standard or premium slide to the junior tower. A sturdy climbing ladder and safety fence offer extra stability and peace of mind.
The wall panels are pre-measured and cut for easy assembly. Once built, your kids can paint it to make it their own. Or check out these best ways to customise your outdoor playhouse for inspiration.
BillyOh Bunny Max Playhouse
What if your garden doesn’t have space for a bigger playhouse? The Bunny Max comes in a 4×4 size, perfect for smaller gardens and toddlers.
This unit incorporates our signature tongue and groove construction. It’s a design where the wooden boards interlock for added structural stability. As for the appearance, the meadow cottage look gives it the classic storybook feel of a Wendy house.
The glazed windows come with flower boxes and shutters as finishing touches. Rear air holes improve ventilation, and the 12mm door gap protects little fingers. The raised platform includes a safety rail, rounded edges, and smooth framing. For extra character, you can also add a picket fence.
BillyOh Lollipop Max Playhouse
The Lollipop Max is a spacious playhouse, perfect for those needing extra room. It may not be as large or tall as the Junior Tower, but it features the same durable T&G cladding construction. This gives the model high-quality weather protection for year-round fun and adventure.
You also have the option to expand the play area. A platform adds a slatted wooden floor at the front, while a picket fence helps keep toys organised.
Like the rest of our collection, this unit meets European safety standards and BS-EN71.
BillyOh Gingerbread Max Playhouse
The Gingerbread Max gives you the choice to add a bunk, which opens up more ways to use the space. Kids can climb up for quiet time or games. Down below, there’s still plenty of room for toys, storage, or a little setup for drawing or tea parties. You get four windows in total for this model; the outer ones come with shutters and flower boxes.
A junior version is available if you need something smaller for your toddlers. The Gingerbread Junior is designed with a stable door that splits in two and an opening height of 3’1”. With the bottom half open, they can crawl in and out freely. When it’s closed, they won’t be able to wander off, but the open top half lets them see out—and you can still keep an eye on them.

Why Parents Trust BillyOh Wooden Playhouses
All our playhouses meet British Standards (BS EN71), so they’re built with safety in mind. From the materials to the smooth edges and solid build, each one is made for safe play. They’ve been tested and certified, so you know your kids are in good hands.
Other safety features included in our playhouses:
Shatterproof glazing
All windows come with durable single SAN glazing as standard. It’s a safer alternative to glass, which can break easily and leave sharp edges. It’s tough, long-lasting, and ideal for a busy play space while still letting plenty of natural light.
Finger gap around the door
To help keep little fingers safe, our playhouses have a built-in gap around the door. It’s a simple feature that makes the door safer for young children.
Non-toxic treatment
Kids touch everything and sometimes even chew on things. That’s why we use a non-toxic treatment on all our playhouses. It protects the wood without using harsh chemicals, keeping it safe for little ones.
You can also upgrade to pressure treatment. This option cuts down on upkeep and extends the guarantee to 15 years.
Note: Manufacturing time will be extended by approximately 4–8 weeks.
Ventilation holes
Ventilation holes allow fresh air to circulate inside and prevent stuffiness and condensation. This means a more comfortable space for your child to play in, even on warmer days.
