Two wooden towers, each with an Art Deco feel curved wooden roof, are connected together with our unique wooden tunnel. A place to hide, to shelter, to sleep away a warm afternoon. Tunnels are gateways in every Adventure, stimulating the imagination and providing heaps of play value and fun. Access to one tower is provided by our wide wooden staircase with specially designed steps spaced for little feet and legs. To the other tower attaches a sturdy ramp with rope, steep enough to be fun for older children and at the same time providing a challenge for 2 year olds. The strong 3m (10 feet) green wavy slide makes up the third exit element. For the little ones the wooden sandpit built into the base of one tower, complete with two seats, is a magnet for creative opportunities. To conclude the terrific range of features comes our assault course complete with exciting climbing wall and tall scramble net, joined to one tower by a substantial swing arm fitted with two wooden swings.

Gate Lodge Playhouse ATJE 471
The largest of the Activity Outdoor Toys PlayCentres, the Gate Lodge was designed to be a combined activity centre for younger children as well as a Wendy House + Fort + sleeping den when they are older. The upper cabin is large enough for three teenagers to sleep in comfort (although wood fires are not recommended!). Beneath the cabin is a play area 1.8m x 1.8m fitted with a table and two bench seats. There is enough room around the table to create a play area, even spread out some sand for small kids. The upper cabin can be accessed by a ladder with 5 x 40mm hardwood rungs, or the climbing wall fitted with professional grips. And not to forget the 3m green wavy slide & swing arm complete with 2 swings!. To complement the Gate Lodge is a range of accessories including a full-sized Assault Course, Commando Net and Clatterbridge. The walls of the cabin follow a unique design which allows natural movement of the timber without having to use nails or screw, resulting in no splitting of the wood. The overall feel of this PlayCentre is of quality construction and components. Pressure-treated planed rectangular timber is used to minimise splits and cracks. Detailed assembly instructions and all necessary fittings are provided to make construction a straightforward DIY job, although this unit is more complicated than other PlayCentres and requires more planning.
