How to Order a Custom-Made Playhouse

Designing a custom playhouse for your child is an exciting journey—from the first sketch to the moment it arrives in your backyard. Here's a simple step-by-step guide to help you order a playhouse tailored to your family’s needs and preferences.

1. Submit Your Contact Info
Start by sending us your name, email address, city, and ZIP code. We use this information only for communication and to calculate shipping costs and availability for your area. No spam—just helpful updates and accurate quotes.

2. Choose Your Playhouse Size
The easiest way to begin is by selecting one of our standard sizes such as 6x8 ft or 8x8 ft. You can also provide your preferred custom dimensions (in feet). Don't forget to consider height, especially if you're planning for features like a loft or second floor.

3. Browse Our Models for Inspiration
Explore our website, online store, Instagram, or Pinterest to find a playhouse style you love. If you’d like to base your custom design on one of our existing models, we can adapt shapes, colors, and features to fit your vision—while keeping the cost reasonable.

4. Share Pictures or Sketches
Do you have a reference photo or even a hand-drawn sketch of your dream playhouse? Feel free to send it to us! The more visual material we receive, the easier it is for our design team to bring your ideas to life.

5. Select Trim Style
From classic to modern, you can choose the overall house style and detailing. Use our online gallery, or check out our social channels for ideas. We’re happy to replicate specific architectural touches you admire.

6. Customize Terrace & Fence
Would you like your playhouse to have a front porch or terrace? If yes, should it include railings or be open? These details not only enhance the look but also add usable space for play and relaxation.

7. Pick Window Style & Cross Design
Review the window styles on our site, or send us a picture of the window shape you love. You can also decide whether you want classic crossbars (grids) or a more minimalist look. It’s your playhouse—your choice.

8. Add Extra Features
Make your playhouse stand out with custom additions like a Dutch door, flower boxes, chalkboards, or mailbox. We can also match decorative elements from your own home for a cohesive backyard look.
If you're dreaming of a treehouse-style playhouse, we can build it on a raised platform to give it that elevated adventure feel. Whether it's for fun, function, or a more dynamic backyard design, we’ll help bring it to life—safely and beautifully.

9. Add a Loft or Second Floor
Want to maximize vertical space? A loft or second level creates a cozy nook for reading, storage, or imaginative adventures. Kids love having multiple zones inside their playhouse to explore and enjoy.

10. Choose Colors
Select custom colors for trim, siding, windows, doors, and even interior elements like furniture. You can provide exact color codes or share references—we’ll match them as closely as possible.

11. Submit the Form
When you’re ready, email your completed custom playhouse request form to info@wholewoodplayhouses.com. We’ll respond with a detailed quote and production timeline.

Final Steps
Once we’ve received all the details from you, our team will create an initial sketch or visual concept of your custom playhouse. This gives you a clear idea of the final design and ensures everything aligns with your vision. After your approval, we’ll agree on a production timeline and coordinate any installation-related arrangements. From there, we take care of the building and delivery—turning your child’s dream playhouse into a handcrafted reality, made just for your family.
