Choosing the Right Cubby House for Melbourne Backyards
Melbourne backyards can vary significantly depending on the suburb, block size, and style of home. Inner city areas and newer developments often have smaller outdoor spaces, while homes in outer suburbs and regional areas may have larger backyards suited to bigger playground systems.
Before choosing a cubby house, it helps to consider:
- Available lawn space
- Side access
- Fence clearance
- Height restrictions
- Safe fall zones
- Age of children using the cubby
Compact cubby houses can work well in smaller Melbourne yards, while raised cubbies help maximise play space by creating usable room underneath the platform.
Larger playground systems may suit families wanting a more complete outdoor play setup that can be used across multiple age groups.
Wooden Cubby Houses for Melbourne Weather
Wooden cubby houses remain one of the most popular options for Melbourne families thanks to their natural appearance and wide range of styles and sizes.
Melbourne weather can change quickly throughout the year, with strong sun, wind, rain, and cooler winters all part of outdoor conditions. Like outdoor decking or timber furniture, wooden cubby houses benefit from ongoing maintenance including:
- Sealing
- Staining
- Painting
- General timber maintenance
This helps protect the timber and maintain the appearance of the cubby house over time.
For families wanting a lower maintenance option for younger children, plastic cubby houses may also be worth considering.
Cubby Houses for Small Melbourne Backyards
Many Melbourne homes have limited outdoor space, particularly in townhouses, inner suburban properties, and newer housing estates. Smaller cubby houses can still create a dedicated outdoor play area without taking over the backyard.
Popular options for smaller Melbourne yards include:
- Raised cubby houses
- Compact cubbies
- Slimline slide designs
- Multi use activity cubbies
- Combination play units
Features like under cubby sandpits and integrated play zones can help make better use of available outdoor space.
You do not necessarily need a large backyard to create an outdoor play area kids will enjoy using regularly.
