Paradise Playfort is tucked into a corner, amongst the trees. It looks and feels like a treehouse, but without any tree attachment.  The result of being carefully designed, built and installed to maximize previously under-utilized space and blend in with the surroundings. A rustic retreat for kids and adults.

Rustic Treehouse is a cool compilation of cost savings ideas: unstained redwood (10% discount) with no trims & carvings (5% discount), and utilizing reclaimed materials such as logs & twigs (3% discount). Plus an additional 20% off delivery costs for orders placed by April 30th. Call for details.

Gateway Fortress is meant for continuous play! Pass through the Gateway Entrance and scramble up the10' Swinging Bridge Ramp to the top of the Jailhouse Tower. Then across the 12' Straight Bridge (with 3 belt swings attached underneath) to the large Clubhouse on top of a Big Deck that has plenty of challenging up, down and underneath play features.

Introducing Barbara Butler Kits!
Each kit has all the lumber, hardware and stain needed to complete the project. All cutting, grinding, and carving has been done and the pieces are ready for assembly. These kits are not for novices: carpentry skills are required for the assembly.
