IMPORTANT NOTE: Delivery is curbside, and all delivery trucks are equipped with liftgates to unload your playhouse kit, except for the 10x12 size. For the 10x12 size, you will need to have 2 people available on the day of delivery to manually unload the pieces from the pallet. Each piece weighs between 1-100 lbs, making it fairly easy to unload. Thank you for your understanding and for choosing Homestead Supplier!
Your playhouse will be delivered in 2-9 days depending on the distance from our site in Ohio to your home.
The customer is responsible for purchasing shingles, paint, and drip edge, all of which are available at your local hardware store. This allows you to customize the Cape Cod Playhouse to the look you desire. A variety of other options can be purchased along with the kit to further enhance the beauty of your playhouse. There are two working screened windows that use tempered safety glass. Easy access for both children and adults; the adult door is on the side of the playhouse.
