Everything you need to know about finding a Cubby House Supplier

Cubby houses are makers of memories. They provide years of entertainment and childhood fun. As such, cubby houses must be sturdy in construction and should be made to last. And, much like a normal home, they have to withstand the harsh Australian climate.

The good news is that the cubby house of today fills this brief. With extremely high construction standards, a range of attractive features and safety at the forefront, there’s a cubby house to suit every family.

Cubby Houses: Features and Finishes

• Construction: Many prefabricated cubby houses on the market today are either constructed of timber (such as western red cedar or treated pine) or are vinyl cladded. To enhance safety, windows can be made of Perspex instead of glass. Cubby houses also come with optional verandas and safety handrails.
• Roofing: Cubby house roofing is typically made of Colorbond roofing. This ensures that the roof is durable and provides protection to the rest of the cubby for many years to come. If the cubby is fitted with a skylight, a polycarbonate material that offers 99% UV light protection is generally used.
• Finish: Cubby houses can also look attractive. They can complement the existing style of your home. If manufactured from timber, they can be stained, oiled, sealed or painted to provide a natural or painted look. You can make them as colourful as you like.
• Safety: Because children and pets spend a lot of time in cubby houses, materials should be safe. Cubby house manufacturers use arsenic-free treated pine. Because it’s treated, the timber is more resistant to termites and other pests. It is also ammonia free.
• Sustainability: When purchasing a cubby house, consider the timber used in the process. Many use timber from regrowth forests.
