Elevated playhouses and treehouse play routes
Elevated playhouses and treehouse play routes: our professional selection
Elevated playhouses give a playground the treehouse idea without the constraints of an actual tree. The Foliage and Forest series chain raised cabins on posts, walkways, pyramids and slides, with up to six modules forming a single route and, depending on the version, a double slide or a stainless steel slide. Nine routes are listed, all designed as continuous circuits rather than isolated items.

What a raised cabin route changes on a site
A cabin creates a destination inside the playground. Children occupy it, which changes the pattern of use from short bursts of climbing to longer sessions of imaginative play, and the walkways between cabins keep the group moving without crossing the ground. For campsites, holiday villages and municipal parks, that is the difference between a play area visited for ten minutes and one that holds families for an afternoon.
Heights, surfacing and installation
The nine routes answer EN 1176. Impact attenuating surfacing to EN 1177 is sized from the deck heights and from the slide exit, which are the governing points on this family. A layout study covering the modules, the connecting walkways and the surfaced area is prepared with the quotation, and installation is carried out in France.
| Element | Function | Point to check |
|---|---|---|
| Raised cabin on posts | Occupied space, imaginative play | Deck height and access route |
| Walkway | Link between modules above ground | Free height of fall along its length |
| Pyramid section | Climbing access | Safety zone around the base |
| Slide, double or stainless steel | Exit from the route | Run out zone and surfacing at the exit |
Frequently asked questions
How many modules can be chained?
Up to six in the published routes. Shorter configurations are available where the plot is limited.
What is the difference between the slide versions?
Some routes use a double slide for parallel descents, others a stainless steel slide; both are specified at quotation stage.
Is the layout study chargeable?
It is prepared as part of the quotation process, which runs within 24 working hours of the enquiry.
