Cosy Shop Shelter

Introducing the Cosy Shop Shelter – the ultimate addition to your outdoor learning environment, guaranteed to spark endless adventures and imaginative play! This versatile wooden shelter is not just a playhouse; it’s a stage for budding actors, a market stall for budding entrepreneurs and a quiet nook for those deep in thought.

Picture this: a sunny afternoon, children eagerly engaging in role-play, negotiating the price of the finest mud pies, or perhaps, sketching their latest masterpiece on one of the two chalkboards. Yes, you heard that right – TWO chalkboards! We understand that when it comes to creativity, one simply isn’t enough.

Crafted from robust wood, this shelter is designed to withstand all the enthusiasm your pupils can muster. And let’s be honest, we all know they can muster quite a lot. Rain or shine, this shelter stands tall (or a little shorter at the back, thanks to its clever design), ready for action.

Now, let’s talk dimensions – because size does matter. The front stands at a proud 124cm in height and spans 126cm in width, with a depth of 80cm. The back is slightly more modest at 106.5cm in height but maintains the same width and depth. The roof stretches a generous 134cm in length and 90.5cm in width, providing ample cover for all sorts of escapades. The base, sturdy and reliable, measures 126cm in length and 80cm in width – the perfect foundation for all those big ideas.

Worried about assembly? Don’t be. Think of it as a giant jigsaw puzzle with a much more rewarding end result. Plus, you can always call in that one colleague who insists they’re a dab hand at DIY. And just to be clear, the contents are not included – but isn’t that the beauty of it? The Cosy Shop Shelter is a blank canvas, waiting for your pupils to bring it to life with their imaginations. So why not add our , our or our  to create the ultimate shopping experience?

Bring the Cosy Shop Shelter to your outdoor area and watch as your pupils transform it into their own little world. Who knows? You might just find yourself buying the best imaginary ice cream you’ve ever had!
