All playhouses are for use in residential/domestic environments only.
Suitable for children age: 18 months - 12 years (check each playhouses' instructions for specific age suitability).
The playhouses are designed for outdoor use only.
As with all activity play equipment, we recommend that children are supervised by an adult during play.
Do not climb/play on the roof of the playhouse.
Designed for use by 2 children with total weight of 100kg (check the playhouse instructions for weight limits specific to your playhouse).
Must be assembled by an adult.
If playhouse includes platform, it is recommended that it is secured to the ground using ground anchors for stability.
All playhouses higher than 60cm should be installed on well drained, level ground.
Playhouses should be installed on a child safe surface such as grass, bark, sand or safety tiles to prevent children from being hurt if they fall.
2 metres should be kept clear around the edge of the structure to ensure safe play.
Climbing and access are not allowed over walls, hanging bars, handrails and onto roofs. Entry to platforms should be by ladders and steps only.
Never place the playhouse on a wet surface.
If a playhouse includes a slide, it is advised not to position slide facing south; due to heat from sun which could make slide hot to touch.

Check equipment regularly for loose splinters which may occur.
Like all children’s play equipment, Big Game Hunters' equipment should be regularly inspected and the bolts, screws and nuts tightened, if necessary.
‘Regularly’ is understood to mean: after assembly and twice a month during the outdoor playing season.
Check the condition of the stain each year.
To ensure the product’s durability, playhouses must be given a new layer of wood preserver each year; use a water based paint/wood stain. Always follow the coating manufacturer’s instructions.
Care should be taken to avoid damaging the timber components during gardening (mowing, strimming etc.)
A wooden floor is available separately for ground-level playhouses, unless stated otherwise. Multi-level playhouses include a wooden floor, unless stated otherwise.
