Our wooden playhouses are sturdy and durable and are not necessarily meant to be dismantled unless you feel comfortable doing so. That being said, whilst they are heavy-duty enough to withstand harsh weather, you could check out this post on how to move a garden building.
We suggest following this step for all garden buildings - be it a shed or a kid’s playhouse. Building any outdoor building straight onto the ground isn’t advised!
You’ll end up with an uneven frame that puts pressure on your playhouse and maybe even causes damp and rot. So you’ll want to build a base. Start by levelling and checking your ground level with string lines.
You can then either use pavers, a timber sub-frame, a gravel-filled plastic foundation base, or you can pour a small concrete slab. You can always dig out the four corners of your proposed site and sink paving stones in builder’s sand. This will allow you to raise your corner’s up or lower them as necessary.
Once your shed site is level, you can figure out how to build a shed base. For a children’s playhouse, you should be fine with building a timber sub-floor. As there won’t be much weight in your playhouse, building a concrete slab might be overkill. Just remember to raise your playhouse floor off the ground to avoid damp!
Our BillyOh wooden playhouses all feature the same high-quality European sourced timber and sturdy interlocking tongue and groove panels. But if we had to pick some of our favourite wooden playhouses to get the ball rolling, they’d be:

Regular treatment and maintenance may allow you to extend your wooden playhouse’s life beyond this point.
Playhouses aren’t generally considered to be permanent structures no matter their height. So you shouldn’t need planning permission. However, as rules vary county-to-country, it’s worth checking and running it by neighbours.
Check out this resource for more information on planning permission UK.
We’d advise against building any outdoor structure (no matter how small) straight onto grass. Building on unlevel ground can put uneven pressure on your garden building causing a whole host of problems including cracked timber and pressure on windows. Instead, level the proposed site of your wooden playhouse and build either a small concrete base or a foundation from gravel, a timber sub-floor, or level pavers.
