There is much more to a cubby house than the old tree houses that many of us grew up with. In many areas of Australia, you are not allowed to do things to trees anymore, and a tree house often isn't the safest option as when the tree grows, it can cause the cubby house to break apart.
Cubby houses nowadays are at the top of most children's 'must have' list, but anything larger than a cardboard box takes planning, and some cubby house may need council support.

* Types of Cubby Houses

Nowadays, you can buy cubby houses that have been specifically manufactured for kids' enjoyment and safety. Different models are available so you can choose the right one for your backyard. No matter what model you choose, most come in prefabricated panels (walls, floor, and roof), which are then put together, or as kits that you can put together yourself. If you choose the DIY option, detailed instructions and everything you need to put it together is included. Standard models which are mass manufactured are available, or you can go for a custom made model if you have something specific in mind.
