Residential Cubby Houses

Choosing the right height of Signature Cubby Houses. Our Signature cubby houses come in two heights with 2 roof styles, designed to cater to different age groups and styles. Standard height Cubby House:

• Recommended Ages: 2-10 years
• Internal Dimensions: 1575 mm to 1630 mm
• External Height: 1765 mm (flat roof, slightly angled)
• Pros: More compact, cost-effective, and windows are at an appropriate height for younger children.
• Cons: Challenging for adults to interact with children inside without crouching, harder to clean.

Extended Height Cubby House:

• Recommended Ages: 5-12+ years
• Internal Dimensions: 1855 mm to 1910 mm
• External Height: 2040 mm
• Pros: More room inside allows for easier adult interaction and cleaning.
• Cons: Larger size may be less cost-effective.

Pitched Roof Cubby Houses:

• Standard Height:
  Internal Dimensions: 1540 mm to 1910 mm
  External Height: 2030 mm
  
  
• Extended Height:
  Internal Dimensions: 1820 mm to 2195 mm
  External Height: 2315 mm
  

Considerations:

• Young Children: If buying a cubby house for very young children (ages 2-5), they are likely to outgrow the standard height by age 8.
• Older Children: If purchasing a cubby house for children aged 5 or older, the extended height may provide longer use as the child grows.
• Beyond cubby years: An extended height cubby house provides a greater range of options for later use.

You can install a cubby house on most surfaces as long as it is well drained. We recommend as best practice to have a 10cm barrier of crushed rock underneath to not only provide a self draining surface but to also provide a very level surface. Refer to our INFORM tab for our guides on the types of surfaces and preparation techniques.

You can find our Preparing and Caring guide HERE.

Our cubbies are not sealed - and we don't want them to be! Airflow is extremely important as moisture will always find a way in, and without airflow this can lead to mould.

So while there are some small gaps at the window and door, and under the roof to allow airflow, rain very rarely finds it's way in. You can certainly store your cubby toys inside without concern.
