Painting is Essential

This cubby house arrives with a temporary water-based stain. For long-term durability and to maintain your warranty, you must paint with high-quality primer and paint.

Recommended Painting Process:

• Paint before assembly for best results and complete coverage
• Apply minimum 2 coats of quality primer, sealer and undercoat
• Apply minimum 2 coats of exterior-grade paint
• Use a brush rather than spray for better coverage
• Ensure complete coverage of all surfaces including edges and corners

Quick Painting Note

As the Arlo is the most compact cubby house, painting is quicker and easier than larger models. The small size and just two cartons make preparation and painting straightforward for most DIY painters.

Adult Supervision Required

Children should always be supervised when playing in and around the cubby house. Regular maintenance checks are recommended to ensure all components remain secure and in good condition.

Placement Requirements

• Level Ground: Position on level ground to prevent unwanted movement or instability. Uneven ground can cause timber movement, resulting in gaps and warping
• Good Drainage: Place in an area with good drainage to prevent moisture buildup, rot and mould. Avoid low-lying areas prone to flooding
• Stable Base: Use timber sleepers or concrete slab as a stable foundation. Support must be used under all floor joins and walls. Pavers alone are not recommended
• Weather Protection: This play equipment is not cyclone-rated. Secure loose items, cover the cubby house, and bring smaller pieces indoors before severe weather
• Natural Shade: Consider placement that offers natural shade or protection from harsh afternoon sun

Perfect For Small Spaces

The Arlo is an ideal choice for smaller backyards where space is limited. Its compact footprint makes it perfect for apartments, townhouses, or any backyard where larger playsets cannot fit.

Natural Timber Characteristics

Timber is a natural product and may develop minor cracks and gaps over time. This is normal thermal expansion and contraction due to moisture content changes. These gaps and cracks are completely normal and do not affect the strength, durability, or structural integrity of the cubby house. Cracks typically close back up once moisture returns.

Assembly Time: 1-2 hours for two adults

The Arlo Cubby House is the quickest and easiest to assemble in the entire range. With just two cartons and only 40kg total weight, it is perfect for quick assembly and minimal setup. The compact design means fewer components and faster construction time.

Assembly manuals are provided with your order. A printed copy is included in your carton.
