This is the Amish built ship playhouse also known as the Noha’s Ark wooden ship playset. This particular ship playhouse measures 8 feet  wide and 14 feet long.  The top of the “captain’s command station” measures 7 feet and 6 inches from the ground.  There is a wooden ship steering wheel for the captain to steer this exciting wooden boat playhouse safely through the sea of imagination.   The captain’s deck is also covered by a canopy constructed of colored canvas.  Off the port side of the ship playhouse resides a 10′ long wooden gang plank or ramp.  The gang plank has vertical rails connected with a rope for safe entry of its passengers. Also located on the port side is a 10′ wave slide, providing a quick exit point for departure.

The mast that is mounted to the lower deck of the Noha’s Ark ship playhouse, also serves as a swing beam featuring 2 trapeze style swings.  A 5′ ladder on the starboard side of the wooden boat playhouse allows passengers to climb aboard.  Also located on the starboard side of the ship playhouse is the A frame style swing beam complete with 2 sling swings for added fun.

Back View of Noha’s Ark Ship Playhouse

 The back view of the wooden Noha’s Ark ship playhouse is a 5′ rock wall climb and doorway to the inside hull or cabin.  Once inside, the ship playhouse really comes to life.  The size of the interior is adequate for most kids.  There is plenty of space to play games, gather around and talk about upcoming adventures, or even set up quarters for the night.
