FAQ - Cubby Houses
Prefabricated panels are easy and quick to assemble. All hardware, parts, panels and assembly instructions are included in the kit. Assembly timeframes are dependant on the Cubby House model.
Please refer to the product description on the items webpage for approximate assembly timeframes and pre-assembly preparation notes.
A full listing of what is included in each Cubby House kit is listed on the product page of each Cubby.
The product page also lists the pre-assembly preparation notes and associated products that are not included with each Cubby.
- Cubby Floor/Base. We suggest Cubby be fixed on a level concrete/paved floor or timber joist floor
- Paint
- Silicon for waterproofing
- Tools & Ladder to assemble
Please see our individual Product Listings for details or contact our Customer Service team for more information.
We recommend painting your Cubby House externally and internally, either prior to assembly (recommended) or within 1-2 weeks of assembly to avoid timber movement due to exposure to the weather elements.
Please Note: Take Care when painting around perspex windows, as paint cannot be removed with a solvent as it will damage the perspex panel.
Please contact our customer care sales team at hello@hipikids.com.au if you would like any further information regarding the Dulux paint colors used in the main photos on the items webpage.
Our cubby houses are made from Fir Wood Timber (Pine family). The windows include hard grade perspex panels.
Our products are designed and constructed to comply with Australian Safety Standards for strength, safety and durability.
Please ensure you complete the recommended pre-assembly preparation guidelines and follow the assembly instructions.
To read the instructions before you start and ensure the floor/base is perfectly level before you start to erect the Cubby House
We recommend that if you don’t consider yourself to be a handy person, to employ an experienced carpenter to build the timber floor. We strongly recommend that a marine plywood floor is used on top of the timber joists
Yes definitely. This is an obvious benefit with prefabricated Cubbies. The panels can be unscrewed, transported to the new location and then reassembled
Unless noted on our website that we are currently out of stock, immediate delivery is available. Please note: depending on delivery location it can take up to 7-18 business days for your Cubby to be delivered to your door
