Let customers speak for us
from 73 reviewsI was after a model that is currently not available in UK. Quick whatsapp exchange and 3 days later I got a quote for importing it for me from EU. Absolutely fantastic. I was kept updated about progress and delivery was scheduled for the day that suited me best.
Would highly recommend 👌
Great installation service. Highly reccommed.
Great service from start to finish, delivery and installation. Highy reccomend.
Warren was great from start to finish.
I contacted Happy Hideouts to double-check the availability of the Intex Ultra XTR 16' x 28" swimming pool, as other sites were claiming to have it in stock when they didn't. Warren confirmed he had it, let me arrange a collection, and even had it ready and waiting when I arrived.
Thanks to his fantastic, personal service, I got the pool up and filled just in time for the hot weather and May half-term! It’s rare to find a business owner so helpful and genuine. Happy Hideouts is definitely on my preferred sellers list now. Thank you, Warren!
The product is good. The kids really love it. It helps me to be more active too. Happy Hideouts were really responsive and great to deal with.
Great communication from Warren, we had a wee issue with our delivery which was sorted immediately! Really happy with the trampoline, it’s great quality, I am sure we will get lots of years of run out of it, our little girl loves it!!
Ordered this playbase to meet the needs of my growing autistic 14 year-old who still likes to swing. As well as my older son who likes to work out. Really great service received and the whole thing was ordered and installed in 2 weeks.
Very helpful advice from Warren to help choose the right trampoline. Very happy with our choice (and so is our son!)
Fabulous customer service with a really personal touch. The rebounder arrived the day after purchase. It’s nicely packaged and easy to set up. I didn’t do it as my 11 year old daughter did it for me in 10 minutes. Her top tip is to put on cycling gloves when attaching the last few.
It is a brilliant size. I’m 5 ft 6 and there’s ample space to feel confident you won’t crash on the edge. Fabulous for exercise and lymph drainage. My legs feel really good post bounce.
It arrived at the beginning of the Easter hols and my 11 and 13 year old have barely left it alone. They love it and are far more adventurous on it than I am.
It looks great and is a quality rebounder. We had some gym mats to hand which we put underneath it. I’m not sure if we needed to but it’s on a newly tiled floor so we took no chances.
Great value, especially for the quality. I didn’t purchase a handle but may get one down the line as they can be purchased separately.
Good service and sturdy product. We paid for the installation as well and the team did a good job of this as well
As a Motion capture artist, I needed something strong and reliable to train on, and Acon has always been one of the go-to manufacturers for intensive practice! 😎
Warren was a pleasure to talk to with quick and friendly responses throughout the whole order process. Delivery was super fast, and everything arrived exactly as expected. 🙌
The quality is amazing, and it's very reassuring to own such a strong and robust trampoline, which will survive my explosive line of work haha! 🎬🥷👊🕷️🕸️
Big thanks to Warren, and thanks so much for such great service and customer care! 😁✨
Really helpful and patient customer service and we got a brilliant trampoline!
Rebounder is so much better than the one I had. Service by the company has been superior.
Phoned up for advice and chat was friendly and informative. Quality toys and follow up service.
Would highly recommend this company.
Happy Hideouts have been seamless - I ordered the Acon basketball hoop, and 24hrs later it had been delivered to my house - What an incredible service - thank you so much. You helped to make a last minute birthday present purchase be the best present! So a big thank you from me.

- Why Buy From Us
Is the Plum Barbary Wooden Playcentre the Right Choice for Busy Garden Adventures? Here’s Why It Keeps Outdoor Play Simple and Exciting.
The plum barbary wooden playcentre is a lovely option for families who want a proper garden climbing frame without jumping straight to something enormous or overcomplicated. There’s enough going on to keep children interested, from climbing up to the deck to racing down the slide and taking turns on the swings, but it still feels manageable for everyday family life.
It’s especially handy if you’re after one piece of equipment that encourages different types of movement in one place. Climbing helps build confidence, swinging adds that classic playground fun, and the slide gives children an easy reward for all that energetic scrambling about. In other words, it’s the sort of setup that helps the garden earn its keep.
What's Included with the Plum Barbary Wooden Playcentre?
- Raised wooden play deck with 6ft wave slide
- Two single swings for shared play
- Wooden climbing ladder for active, confidence-building fun
- Fabric sunshade sail to help protect children while they play
- Made from sustainably sourced FSC certified timber
- Includes ground anchors for securing the frame into the ground
Is This Plum Lookout Tower with Swings a Smart Way to Add More Play Value? Here’s Why It Gives Children More To Do Without Taking Over the Garden.
As a plum lookout tower with swings, this playcentre does a good job of combining imaginative play with active play. The raised platform naturally becomes a pirate ship, jungle lookout or secret den depending on the day, while the pair of swings means siblings or friends can join in together rather than hovering nearby waiting for a turn.
That balance is often what makes a garden toy genuinely useful long term. Instead of offering just one activity, it gives children a few different ways to play, which can help it stay interesting beyond the first burst of excitement. For parents, that usually means fewer cries of “I’m bored” and a bit more fresh air all round. The included sunshade sail is another thoughtful touch for warmer days.
Is This Plum Premium Wooden Lookout Tower Built for Reassuring Everyday Family Use? Here’s Why It Brings Style, Stability and Peace of Mind.
If you’re searching for a plum premium wooden lookout tower, the Barbary has plenty going for it beyond the fun factor. The FSC certified timber gives it a more natural garden look than brightly coloured plastic alternatives, while the stained finish in charcoal grey and light oak helps it feel a little smarter and less shouty in the background. Plum also states the wood does not need treatment for at least 12 months, which is always welcome news for busy parents.
From a practical point of view, the added structural details matter too. Plum highlights powder-coated steel corner brackets, wooden cross beams and ground anchors to support stability, and the frame is certified to EN71-1/2/3/8 standards. The recommended minimum age is 3+ years, with a maximum user weight of 50kg per child, so it’s clearly aimed at younger children who want plenty of active outdoor fun in a safe, domestic setting.

The Happy Hideouts Family
Hiya! We're Warren and Leanne, and just like you, we're parents trying to pry our kids away from their screens (though sometimes we're guilty of a cheeky bit of Bluey ourselves). With our 2-year-old tornado of energy and our 10-year-old master negotiator, we know firsthand the juggle of keeping different ages entertained.

How We Got Here
Remember those endless summer holidays when the biggest decision was whether to hit the park or build a den in the garden? That's what inspired Happy Hideouts. While we can't quite recreate the joy of a 90s summer (sorry, no Pogs or Tamagotchis here), we can help bring back the magic of outdoor play.

- You'll always speak with either Warren or Leanne - no call centre maze to navigate
- We'll help you find the perfect fit from our collection of top-quality brands
- Our brilliant installation team will handle all the heavy lifting (while you put the kettle on)
- We'll check in after your delivery to make sure everything's tickety-boo and see if there's anything else you need
The Extended Family
This is Ricky, our resident cuddle expert. Working from home means he's perfected the art of the "important business meeting interruption" for belly rubs.
And meet Mochi, Ricky's best mate, our adventurous but shy cat who splits her time between exploring the garden and window-watching birds with all the focus of a Great British Bake Off contestant on bread week.
