Bespoke Treehouses

Everyone dreams of their own private space in the garden, a place to escape to or a place to play.

To assist in turning those dreams into reality we offer a treehouse design and build service.

Where possible we will utilise trees in your garden to create decks, shelters and connecting bridges.

Each site is unique and will involve site visits and specialised drawings and, as such, the final costs of the project will vary considerably.

Product Sizes

All product sizes are width x depth x height.

Timber Care

All play equipment has been pressure-treated and impregnated with wax to protect against the seasons, so there should be no requirement to further treat the wood. Wood ages and naturally turns grey in colour. If you wish to ‘refresh’ the wood Danish or Teak Oil can be used. Play equipment should be regularly checked for splinters and sanded down when necessary.

Equipment Quality

Our garden play equipment is designed to be sturdy and versatile to ensure long life, while maintaining the natural beauty and character of solid wood, blending into all types of gardens. All products comply with European Safety Standards. All wood is supplied from sustainably-managed woodlands, and after careful selection the timber is machined to shape, then pressure-treated and waxed ensuring a long and durable life. We use the highest quality fixtures and fittings.

Ground Anchors

Concrete is not required for our garden range. However, where ground is uneven or sloping, ground anchors can be used to secure the structure. These are dug into the grass and bolted onto the frame, allowing them to be easily removed if required. On sloping ground, it can also be beneficial to sink the legs into the earth to find a good level, this can be carried out with a garden spade.

Assembly

Caledonia Play’s modular, add-on designs and interchangeable swing accessories allow our play structures to grow with your children. All play structures are delivered unassembled with assembly instructions and illustrations to assist you. We would advise that equipment is assembled by a minimum of 2 adults.

We offer an assembly service in many parts of the country. The cost of this service varies on distance, time and product.

If you would like us to quote a price for this service, please call the office on 01577 840570.

Product Warranty

All swing frames and climbing frames are sold with a one year warranty. There is also a one year guarantee against manufacturing faults. For the timbers used to construct our frames and towers there is an extended warranty of seven years against rotting and damage by insects. Our swing seats, and other accessories that we do not make ourselves, come with their own manufacturer’s two year guarantee. Proof of purchase must be provided by the customer.

Delivery

We deliver to mainland UK addresses.

We have experience of delivering to the Scottish Islands, so again please give us a call.

We have calculated our delivery charges on a weight and volume basis. As you shop, you will be able to see what additional delivery charges are due, so there are no surprises when it comes to check out. On receipt of your order, we will endeavour to deliver within 14 days.

Most of our deliveries are sent by a nationwide courier company. They operate a three day service, Monday to Friday. Because we use a third party for most of our deliveries, we cannot guarantee delivery on a specific date. However, for an additional charge, we may be able to organise an overnight/next day delivery or a specific day delivery. Please call the office to see if this will be possible.

We also use Royal Mail Parcel Force for smaller deliveries, and for our larger structures, we have our own in-house delivery team.
