Each Play Fort is a fully functional play house, that doubles as a conversation centerpiece of your landscape and triples as a creator of memories that last a lifetime!

    The ladder in the center of the huge, hollowed out log provides access to the trap door in the floor of the crooked clubhouse. We offer several designs and a list of options that give you a multitude of possibilities (or we can work with you to design and build a custom creation). Options include exterior stairs, balconies, spiral slides, bridges, cargo net railing, talk tubes, swings, monkey bars, bear carvings and more. We’re ready to work for you now!

This is our base Play fort. With a 6' tall tree stump, and a sturdy Play fort, this is the ultimate is quality and fun. It includes the log, entry porch, door, and the rustic barn style Play fort.
Country Cottage Down to Earth
It's a cleverly simple playhouse you can install in about 30 minutes on flat ground. You'll love the slightly crooked windows, and gently swayed roof. It breaks down and stacks on a pallet, and is incredibly simple to install. It comes unfinished so you and your family can save costs and enjoy finishing it together. It's built from redwood and cedarÆ’ the best wood mother nature provides. It's perfect for the youngest toddler, slimmest budget, and most difficult to access play area.
Country Cottage High Water
The high water version starts with the same Play fort as above, and we elevate it on a 3' tall platform, and add a small stair case. It comes unfinished so you and your family can save costs and enjoy finishing it together. Installs in about 2 hours with no heavy equipment and minimal site prep, it's a fantastic way to save big money on site prep, installation and shipping costs over our much more ambitious Play forts. You can add a curved scoop slide.
Country Cottage Tree Top
The Tree Top Version is by far the best value for the money spent. We take the same Tudor Cottage Play fort, and set it on top of one of our oversize Play fort logs. From there we add a roof dormer, balcony, staircase, monkey bars, log window, spiral slide and more. Because this model breaks down and consolidates better on a truck, shipping is half the cost of our other similar sized Play forts. You can also install it on a packed gravel pad instead of a concrete one! The log weighs several thousand pounds, so you'll still have the need for a rented forklift or crane. Just like above, it comes unfinished so you and your family can save costs and enjoy finishing it together. All in all this is a great Play fort and customers will save an average of about $8000 over our other similar Play forts. The savings are spread over price, shipping, site prep, and installation. That's rightÆ’ we were thinkin' mighty thrifty thoughts when we came up with this model. It's faster and cheaper to build ship and install, so we're passing the savings on to you! There is one catch... we're only committed to test marketing a total of 10 units. So when they're gone, depending on feedback, they may be gone forever!
Fort Fresno
This theme park design, known as "Fresno Fort", was built for the Big Fresno Fair in Fresno, California. The Fort Fresno playground is made entirely of cedar and redwood logs. The four redwood stumps under each corner were salvaged from Northern California, and are each at least 800-2000 years old. The unique cedar logs which make up the turrets and walls on this one-of-a-kind play structure were trucked in from Eastern Texas, especially for Fort Fresno. This outrageous childs fort features 4 lookout Play forts, 3 huge slides, a giant swing bridge, and 4 "hide-and-seek" redwood cowboy and indian carvings! The entire custom fort is approximately 50' x 50'.

Grizzly Adams
We know that many of you out there really enjoy log homes and log cabins, and recently we received a request to build a log cabin Play fort. This design is based on our standard Monkey Mansion Play fort, however it's sided with real log home logs! We also created a swing beam out of a 12" diameter log and hired ol' Big Bubba the bear, to stand around for the rest of his life holding up his end of the swing set just for the family's special little ones. The Moose antlers came straight from Alaska! You've never seen a tree cabin like this!

Pasadena Promonade
You're invited to stroll your way through the Pasadena Promenade! Built for slumber parties, these backyard treehouses have 2 huge 10' diameter, 20,000 lb+ logs, and 2 extra large, custom Play forts with bunk beds, tempered glass windows, insulation and electricity! (It's like a mini Play fort hotel!) A bridge winds its way through and around the trees from one cottage playhouse to the other. A small, running creek snakes its way from the top end of the grove down under the bridge and ends in a small pond near the edge of the yard. As you cross the bridge, don't forget to pet the bear who sits on the rail, fishing in the pond below! Several of his friends can be found climbing all over this incredible Play fort forest. They hope you'll pet them too. A special thanks goes to the owners of this Play fort for their determination and participation in Play fort design and landscape. The major challenge on this job was to figure out how to nestle the huge logs and Play fort among the mature trees, and make it look like the play structure was built first and the trees were grown around it. It took one big crane, a lot of cables, ropes and straps; and a determined crew! We hope you enjoy checking out these fun outdoor playhouses.
Fort Playconderoga
The owner of this Play fort asked for something grand; a Swiss Family Robinson Play fort with style. She designated the setting to be a jungle outpost, with the theme, "Victorian Meets The Jungle." We felt it would be appropriate for a shipwreck to "introduce" Victorian to the Jungle, and came up with this amazing Play fort design. Many of the features of the Play forts were inspired by actual structures on the estate. It features 4 incredible, totally custom Play forts, with 3, 5'+ diameter logs, and one mammoth size, 10' diameter log that tipped the scales at 26,000 pounds! The Play forts were placed on the corners of a rectangular plot, and the Play forts were all connected with a network of bridges, stairs, and slides. Complete with talk tubes, eight 90 year old brass portholes from a real ship (the glass was over 1" thick!), movie props from the 1979 motion picture, "Raise The Titanic," hand woven cargo net railing, real ship lanterns, electricity, plumbing, ships steering wheels and more, this astonishing fort is unlike any in the world. This is just an example of what DWL can, and has produced given the right resources.
