Existing swing-set brands offer the illusion of choice with so many different configurations to choose from but the reality is most parents select a kid playhousebackyard swing-set with these classic features: swing set, slide, climbing wall, monkey bars. We cut out the guesswork to deliver those core features and so much more!
The Blue Squirrel Clubhouse has a rejuvenated aesthetic and intentionally designed playset accessories to deliver a modern approach best-suited for today’s modern children. While play has long been recognized as a source of development for kids’ mental, physical and social faculties, the role of play has been increasingly prioritized during a global pandemic that threw kids’ education and development into the spotlight for many parents. As a brand born out of the “parenting during the pandemic” experience, Blue Squirrel differentiates from the competition by combining intentional focus on aesthetics, functionality, and safety with features that emphasize developmentally-appropriate guided play. The Blue Squirrel Blog, Climbing The Walls, is filled with ideas for creative and collaborative play.
The Blue Squirrel Clubhouse is designed to deliver a superior experience for both kids and parents at a competitive price point. While many competitors hide the hidden costs of delivery and third-party set up fees, Blue Squirrel is offering free white-glove delivery and an on-call customer happiness team to help answer all of your product and purchasing questions.

Currently, Blue Squirrel only offers The Clubhouse, its inaugural outdoor play house. As a company dedicated to intentional design, industry-leading safety standards and a modern aesthetic, Blue Squirrel spent months working with a team of industrial product designers and engineers to perfect its first kids outdoor playset model. The team plans to launch new outdoor playhouses in the future. Have an idea? We’d love to hear from you! Send us a note to share your ideas and requests.

As a company that is rooted in the mission to create happiness through healthy and positive outdoor play for kids, we are committed to doing our small part to help protect and improve the environment. And we’re following the lead of our brand’s namesake backyard animal - the squirrel! Did you know that squirrels are often responsible for planting new trees? On occasion, squirrels will forget to dig up their acorns, effectively planting trees in the process! We’re dedicated to reforestation in honor of all the families who join our Blue Squirrel community. Each time someone joins our mailing list, we plant a tree in their honor, in partnership with [INSERT ORG NAME, POSSIBLE ONETREEPLANTED.ORG]. Join Us.
Product
-
The Clubhouse was designed for your child’s safety and your peace of mind. That’s why we use non-toxic and durable polywood and stainless steel anchor screws. The floor of our Clubhouse is fall-friendly rubber and our grips are made of slip proof plastic.
-
At this time, we do not offer customization or custom playhouses, but we’re just getting started. Sign up here to stay in the loop on all things Blue Squirrel and be the first to know about our new offerings!

The beauty of polywood is that it requires little to no maintenance, with an expected useful life of 20+ years. The support beams are made of wood that may require repainting every 3-5 years, but this is a very small surface area of the overall clubhouse.
-
Absolutely! Our product only requires a radius of [132 inches].
-
We will assemble your Blue Squirrel playset for you! We designed the Clubhouse with your time in mind: that’s why each Blue Squirrel Clubhouse can be easily assembled by two people, in under two hours. For a limited time, white glove delivery is included free of charge with your purchase - representing an additional $500 in value.
Safety
-
Blue Squirrel Clubhouses are made from polywood, which doesn’t splinter, chip, or attract insects, making it a uniquely durable and safe option for your kids.

Delivery
-
Before your Blue Squirrel Clubhouse is delivered, you will want to select a spot and prepare it so that when your white glove delivery date arrives, your installers can go right ahead and assemble your Clubhouse. [In the event that your plot isn’t suitably prepared prior to delivery, our assembly crew will not be able to build your Blue Squirrel Clubhouse.]
When choosing the site for your backyard playhouse, keep in mind that you want to avoid underground utility lines, sprinklers, and septic tanks, and overhead obstacles like power lines, roof overhangs and low hanging tree limbs. Once you’ve chosen a spot with 6ft of clearance on all sides, it’s important to make sure that it’s level and compact (grass, X, and Y are all acceptable). In some cases, it might be necessary to remove the top layer of grass and dirt in order to level the surface (for more guidance on how to do this, check out this article). Hold off on spreading mulch or other surface options until after your Clubhouse is installed on compact and level ground. -

Please join our mailing list to be the first to know when we’re launching delivery in your area. We ask for “zip code” along with your email so that we can prioritize our most in-demand markets next!

Once you place an order, you’ll receive a confirmation email from Blue Squirrel that will take you to another page where you can easily schedule your white glove delivery! Blue Squirrel customers can expect to receive their Clubhouse x days/weeks after their order is placed.

No, you do not have to build a playhouse!! Leave the work to us. Enjoy free white glove delivery and installation worth $500 in value when you purchase a Blue Squirrel Clubhouse.
-
“White glove” is a phrase used to describe excellence in care, service or attention. White glove delivery service is a method of shipping or receiving products that need more attention than regular parcels due to their size, value or fragility. Blue Squirrel’s “white glove delivery” policy means that at the time of delivery, two pre-qualified white glove delivery specialists will assemble your Clubhouse for you.
-
If you are not satisfied with your purchase of any new Blue Squirrel Product, you may return your unused item in its original condition within 30 days of receipt. Given our white glove delivery and installation process, installed clubhouses are ineligible for returns. We work closely with you to ensure that you're happy with your playset upon installation and any issues, while rare, can generally be remedied by sending along a new component to replace the faulty one—at no cost to you.
Because of the size and weight of our play products, we do not offer a refund for any shipping or delivery charges that you may have paid to receive your Blue Squirrel Product. A restocking fee of 15% will apply and you will be responsible for all return shipping costs. We highly recommend that you ensure all return shipments and provide Blue Squirrel with a tracking number because refunds will not be issued in full for clubhouses damaged in return shipping or shipments that are not received.
If your Blue Squirrel Product is returned in damaged condition, with missing parts, or otherwise has signs of abuse, Blue Squirrel reserves the right to refuse a refund or to charge additional restocking fees, at Blue Squirrel’s sole discretion.
To initiate a return, please contact us at ___________or email us at ___________.
