Similar in many respects to the "Swiss Chalet" playhouse,
the "Alpine Chalet" has a very steep roof that is designed for climates with light to
moderate snow in the winter. The pitch of the roof provides a cathedral ceiling effect
inside the playhouse with headroom of almost 8 feet.
The size of "The Alpine Chalet" is approximately 10' wide and 6' deep, with an attached 3' x 10' porch, and the maximum height inside is almost 6'. The porch is decked with individual planks, and the four-gable roof is covered with high-quality 20-year composition shingles. Available roofing colors include:
The interior floor is covered with sheet vinyl for easy cleaning, and the standard trim package includes decorative "gingerbread" patterns and "flower boxes" for artificial flowers. |
Because of the steep roof, the exceptionally large boxed-out windows and gable windows
fill the interior with sunlight. Two shelves with spindle railings are provided in each boxed-out
window for special toys and treasures.
"The Alpine Chalet" playhouse includes two boxed-out windows, and also two small windows in the front wall. The boxed-out windows open to the inside, and the small windows open to the outside. All windows are safety-glazed with plastic, and latch securely when closed for protection from weather and animals. The front door is almost 6' tall, which makes it convenient for Mom and Dad when they visit the "Alpine Chalet". The back door is approximately 4' tall. Both the front and back doors open outward, with adjustable spring hinges to permit the doors to close automatically. Small decorative wooden "awnings" are included above the windows in the front and back walls. Each "Alpine Chalet" playhouse is individually hand-crafted, with unique trim and finish. The "Alpine Chalet" playhouse includes a painted interior with applique decorations. The interior floor is covered with sheet vinyl for easy cleaning. The standard interior trim includes two applique decorations. Eight applique decorations are included in the standard exterior trim. The available applique patterns include:
The interior of the "The Alpine Chalet" is very spacious. It includes a built-in two-pedestal "desk", with a shelf unit installed above it around one of the small windows. Optional furniture is available to complete the interior decor, and a child-sized, old-fashioned swing hanging from a convient nearby limb can extend the play space to the surrounding yard area. Child-sized outdoor furniture is also available for entertaining little friends in the yard. |
"The Alpine Chalet" playhouse is normally painted yellow with white trim color on the outside,
and white or some other complimentary color on the inside. A wide range of color combinations
is available. The roof color is normally black. Other color combinations are available.
