The Matilda playhouse is a fantastic 4ft x 4ft playhouse with a Veranda and extended roof for your little rascals to turn into their own private Den.

Footprint - 178cm x 122cm 

You can let them play to their hearts content, safe in the knowledge that it is built to all EN71 certification requirements.

Choose from 10 different shades of colour to enhance any garden setting, let us do all the hard work for you.

The Matilda is finished off to the highest detail, including all edging, windows, doors and roof finals painted in 3 coats of white.

The Matilda comes complete with one side window and one front window, add a 3rd window should you wish from the optional extras that are available.

As the Matilda is designed to be modular, you can decide which side of the playhouse the window panel is fitted, left or right, depending on your garden to suit best.

Every playhouse ordered is individually manufactured, painted and wrapped for protection prior to delivery.

Once your order is placed, an email will be sent to you advising that  your order has been passed over to the production department where you playhouse will be manufactured by our skilled craftsmen.

After it has been manufactured, it is sent to the painting department to start the paint process. At this point you will receive another email, keeping you updated along the way. 

The painting of your playhouse is a 3-stage process. Firstly, the wood is given a light sand down before a water based, white wood primor is applied. Once this is dry, two coats of your chosen colour are applied using a water based, opague paint. 

Opague paint will give a solid colour finish to completely enhance your playhouse.

Once the paint department is satisfied that the finish of up to the quality expected of Little Rascals Playhouses, it is snet over for packing and dispatch, at this point you will receive another email notification of this, keeping you updated all along the way of the different processes.

Each panel and part is individually protected with the relevant packaging materials to ensure that the playhouse arrives to you in the condition that it leaves our production and dispatch warehouse.

Sometimes it is inevitable that some of the paint work may get bumped or scratched either during transit or most likely as it is being assembled. For this reason a free pot of touch up paint is supplied with every playhouse dispatched.

Our garden buildings are colour painted, to order, with a water based timber treatment for protection and finish. In order to receive the full 10 year guarantee, it is necessary that you treat the garden building with a high quality, timber preservative within 12 months of construction. This will protect the timber from weathering and will need to be repeated accordingly in relation to manufacturer's instructions.

This guarantee does not cover:

  1. movement, warping or splitting of the timber over time;
  2. damage caused by or as a result of misuse;
  3. glazing material, joinery or roofing felt.

We shall not be liable to the you or be deemed to be in breach of the contract by reason of any delay in performing or any failure to perform, any of our obligations in relation to the goods, if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond our reasonable control.

  3. The building has been customised or modified in any way;
  4. The person claiming is not the original purchaser of the building;
  5. The building has not been treated, at least, every 12 months.

Some of the products may be made from wood or other natural materials and unlike steel or plastic or other man made materials are affected by its environment. Also each piece of timber will have grains and knots which will vary. These variations can absorb treatment and react to the atmosphere differently.

Some splitting of the timber may occur as it expands and contracts with changes in humidity and temperature, knots may also fall out, this is perfectly natural and does not affect the integrity of the product and does not class as damage or faulty unless it makes the building unfit for purpose.

Safety First and 100% Weather Proof 🌦️

Your Childs safety is the most important consideration for us and whilst our playhouses meet the requirements of EN71 regulations we have gone ‘the extra mile’ for the door hinge and closure. The most common hinge is something used for garden sheds or gates which can leave a gap which leaves your playhouse open to the elements 🌧️

Using our “Piano Hinge” or “Continuous Hinge” we have eliminated any gap completely, so its 100% safe from fingers getting trapped and makes it completely weatherproof ☀️
