Our Forest Shelter provides a dedicated outdoor learning space where children can learn, play and explore outdoors throughout the year. Whether used for Forest School sessions, storytelling, group discussions or creative activities, the open design creates a welcoming environment that keeps children connected to nature while providing valuable shelter from the elements.

Handcrafted from high-quality pressure treated timber, our Forest Shelter is built to suit your outdoor space and the needs of your setting. The open-sided design offers excellent visibility and accessibility, while the solid timber roof provides shelter from rain and sun, allowing outdoor learning to continue whatever the weather. Available to be made bespoke to your setting, each shelter can be tailored to complement your playground or Forest School area.

More than simply a covered structure, the Forest Shelter becomes the heart of your outdoor learning environment. It provides the perfect base for nature investigations, messy play, den building, group activities and quiet reflection, helping children develop confidence, communication and a deeper connection with the outdoors. Pair it with our Log Seating, Planters or Mud Kitchen to create an inspiring Forest School space that can be enjoyed all year round.

The team at Eden play have been extremely supportive throughout our project to fully redesign our outdoor area. Throughout the design process the team understood what we wanted and made our vision come to life, taking on feedback and making adjustments to suit our needs. The outdoor area was redesigned for a SEND setting and Eden play listened and made bespoke changes to suit our requirements. The installation process ran extremely smoothly, thanks to the excellent communication of the team onsite, who worked with us flexibly to ensure pupil safety. Matt and team were brilliant throughout! The support continued with the after care too, with the team coming back to offer solutions and complete any snagging work efficiently. It has been a pleasure getting to know the team at Eden play, who have all been extremely professional and supportive from start to finish. I would happily recommend them to others and would have them back for any future projects.

Fantastic company and service. Designed and installed my day nursery garden. Couldn't be happier with it. Eden created such a wonderful environment for our nursery children, who will have years of joy with it!
