Plastic Cubby Houses for Easy Outdoor Play
Plastic cubby houses are a practical option for families looking for a lightweight, low maintenance playhouse for younger children. They're easy to move around the backyard, simple to clean, and well suited to smaller outdoor spaces where a larger timber cubby may not be practical.
The lighter construction makes plastic cubby houses a popular choice for toddlers and early primary age children, offering a dedicated play space for imaginative and everyday outdoor use at home. This collection currently includes lightweight playhouse styles, and sits within our broader cubby houses range if you'd like to compare against wooden and larger outdoor options.

Plastic vs Wooden Cubby Houses: Which Should You Choose?
This is usually the first decision families make, and it comes down to how the cubby will actually be used.
Plastic Cubby Houses
- Lightweight and easy to reposition in the yard
- Low maintenance, no painting, sealing or staining required
- Simple to wipe clean
- Generally more affordable
- Best suited to toddlers and early primary age children
Wooden Cubby Houses
- More substantial feel, often with larger footprints and added features
- Better suited to permanent, long-term backyard installation
- Can support additional features like slides, sandpits and verandas
- Requires periodic maintenance to protect the timber
- Suits a wider age range as children grow
Who Plastic Cubby Houses Suit Best
Plastic cubby houses work well for toddlers and younger children who are still developing coordination, and for families wanting a lower-cost first cubby house before committing to a larger timber structure. They're also a practical choice for smaller yards, rental properties, or families who might want to relocate the cubby down the track.
What to Look For
- ✓UV-stabilised plastic: resists fading and becoming brittle from sun exposure over time.
- ✓Stable base or anchor points: lightweight plastic cubbies can shift in strong wind without proper anchoring.
- ✓Easy assembly: most plastic cubby houses go together with minimal tools.
- ✓Age suitability: check the recommended age range, as door and window sizing can vary between models.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do plastic cubby houses fade in the sun?
Cheaper plastics can fade over time with UV exposure. Look for products described as UV-stabilised, which are designed to hold their colour better in Australian conditions.
Are plastic cubby houses stable in windy conditions?
Being lightweight, plastic cubbies can shift in strong wind if not anchored. Check whether anchor points or pegs are included, and consider the typical wind exposure of your backyard.
How do plastic cubbies compare to wooden ones for durability?
Wooden cubbies generally last longer with proper maintenance and support more weight and features, while plastic cubbies need less upkeep but may not hold up as well over many years of heavy use.
What age is a plastic cubby house suitable for?
Most plastic cubby houses suit toddlers through to early primary age children. Check the specific product page for the recommended age range, as sizing varies between models.
