Recommended Posts

G'Day Raiders,

Just wondering if anyone has built a cubby house before . I have never tried and was wondering if anyone has one to sell or if anyone has any plans for one. Even a few idea's or tips would be nice !!

Many thanks

Paul

G'day Blacky, we bought this one sort of pre assembled from a place in Riverstone , just found on the net.approx $1000, well made, then we took it down & stored while we re-built house, I have only just put it back up again, & I tell you what its quite a simple design if you are half handy & would be quite easy to build from scratch, kids love it, you can make it lower if you want but then the grass wont grow, & iI thought the kids could use the extra space under. It can easily be lowered at any time. This is not the best picture, but can happily send you more detailed pictures if you are interested. Has windows, door, etc is lockable & basically waterproof. I could actually sleep in it if I was in the doghouse :ranting2:

Regards

Hint - don't make it big enough to sleep in otherwise you might have to! They are never comfortable

Have a look at the online auction sites as lots of peoples kids grow out of them and want them out of the backyard. Look over your neighbours fences as chances are there is one there they want rid of. Alll mates who have done the cubby house thing soon realised the kids grew up fast so buy a good sized one with activities so you get a few years out of it - depends how old the kids are and whether you are likely to move house in the next few years. Other big mistakes are putting them in a really sunny or shady areas as they got too hot or cold. After 1st go at building one from scratch that lasted a few years mate moved house and bought one from cubby house place - look on the web - and it was modular if he moves again. Bloody thing is a palace
