Treehouse / Garden shed on stilts!

Have been ringing round trying to get a treehouse for my children. We dont have a tree so would be one of those playhouses on stilts.
Prices seem to be around £600 for an 8x6 one - 6x6 hut and 2 foot outside 'decking' - all risen off the ground.
Has anyone bought one of these or know where I could try for one?
Googling shows plenty in England but then the cost of getting it across that little bit of water called the irish sea is astronomical!!!
Thanks for any advice/ideas!
---Coleraine area - if that helps!

Or go to any good timber supplies outlet that does fencing - there are also a variety of bolt down options for fixing to concrete.0 -

hi BOBS, just wondering if you bought this in the end? Am thinking of something like this myself and wondered what your opinions are.0 -
Sorry I can't do links but you could try this company. We got a shed from him last year and he was really nice to deal with.
He does the play house on stilts the OP mentioned but is based in Northen Ireland and can deliver.
