(30 November 2021) Latest Price News
In this section we tell you all about the latest significant price moves in the wooden playhouse market as we find them. Remember though that these may not last for long so you might have to move fast to take advantage of them. Be sure too to check any delivery charges to your area - the lowest headline price isn't always the best deal!
Black Friday is Here

These are the pick of what's on offer, but you can check everything out on our discount and promo codes page. It all ends on Monday 29th November though so it's probably best to move quickly if you don't want to be disappointed.
(26 November 2021) Prices like they used to be!
We'd just like to highlight a few major price drops this week as wooden playhouse supply difficulties finally show signs of easing. You can pick up the highly popular Croft playhouse for as little as £875.99 from One Garden while Argos have the best selling Cubby priced at just £350 - that's a saving of £69 over their nearest competitor! We're not sure how long these bargains will last, especially if supply difficulties surface again - so you don't want to hang around. And in addition to these great prices, B&Q are currently selling the Honeypot Snowdrop Cottage at a pricebusting £482 - that's £165 less than the next available price!
Don't worry if these bargains don't take your fancy, you'll find plenty of other great deals listed on the Wooden Playhouse Guide - just take a look around.

Great deals on Tower Playhouses
As we review the wooden playhouse market we like to keep our eye out for the best current deals for the wooden playhouse buyer. This week, amid the now familiar scenario of rising prices and falling supply we've found a couple of gems if you're looking for a Tower Wooden Playhouse. Although their prices are usually competitive, Tradepoint aren't generally known for good availability. However this weekend they have the Tulip Tower for sale at the best prices we can find, just£593 for the standalone version and £698 with a super wavy slide. Check it all out on our Tulip Tower page.
And if that's not enough, Garden Street have slashed the price of the Rowlinson Cosy Cottage and you can now pick this quality model up for just £489.99. We think that's just about the best bargain around at the moment!
As always though, we don't think these prices - or the availability - will be around for long in the current climate. So if you're looing for a tower playhouse for your garden we'd recommend you move quickly to take advantage.

A SportsPower Eco Friendly Bargain
Very have slashed their price for the Sportspower Eco Playhouse down to a bargain £119.99 - just as Argos are hiking theirs up to an eyewatering £220.00! We don't think this can last for long though, so if you're looking for a compact outdoor wooden playhouse we'd suggest you move fast to take advantage of this great offer.

Prices on the Rise
As we move further into 2021 we see the range of wooden playhouses available fall and prices continually rise, sometimes by startling amounts, all fuelled by a perfect storm of coronavirus, Brexit, shortage of materials and products and increased demand. It's something we just have to live with at the moment. As usual, we work hard to keep the price and availability details on the site up to date so we can save you hours trawling fruitlessly through the internet looking for a good deal.
One thing we have noticed is that if a model is unavailable it's unlikely to come back into stock at anything other than a significantly increased price. As a result it's questionable if it's advisable to hang around waiting for something to become available again in the hope that it will be priced lower than, or even the same as before. At the moment price movements are a one way street - so if you do see a model which takes your fancy, our best advice is to act quickly while you can still get your hands on it!

Wooden Playhouse Shortages
The coronavirus means wooden playhouse production is significantly reduced and as demand increases with spring we're seeing shortages of models across the board. As a result prices are on the up and we're seeing some playhouses only available at what we consider to be rip-off prices. And there's a double whammy on the way with Brexit. Much of the wood used in wooden playhouse manufacture is imported from Europe and as stocks diminish, difficulties with supply will result in rising prices for raw materials.
The inevitable conclusion is that if you're looking to buy a wooden playhouse it's better to do it sooner rather than later. Even if a manufacturer offers an extended lead time - Tiger Sheds are an example of this - ordering now will have the advantage of fixing the price - and your place in the queue - for the model you want.
None of this is particularly good news - it's just something we have to live with at the moment.

Spring is here..
...and stocks - and sometimes prices - of wooden playhouses are on the rise. We're noticing increased availability of models more or less across the board - so now's a good time to be buying your wooden playhouse for the coming year. And there's no better place to look than The UK Wooden Playhouse Guide, with our comprehensive coverage of the playhouses available nationally online and our extensive price round ups.
One important tip: some retailers offer low headline prices with free delivery - but impose sometimes hefty surcharges for deliveries outwith a specific area (which can be relatively limited). Do bear in mind that the superb headline price you see may not be the final price you pay, especially if nationwide free delivery is not on offer. If a seller tries to impose a delivery surcharge on you, it's worth having a look elsewhere - you might find a better all round deal. We try to list all national sellers on the site - so you don't have to look far!
