Caboodle Shack – Product FAQ
What age is the Caboodle Shack best suited for?
The Caboodle Shack is suitable for ages 3+. Older kids usually enjoy it for role-play, crafts and outdoor hangouts too.
Can I install the Caboodle Shack on decking?
Yes—just bolt it through the decking boards into the subframe underneath. If your deck isn’t built yet, it's easiest to position and install the cubby first.
What kind of ground works best?
A flat, level surface is essential. Grass with a pad, concrete or decking all work well when anchored correctly.
Does the mud kitchen drain?
Yes—the stainless basin includes a drainage outlet so you can run water into a bucket or attach a small hose (not included).
Can I paint or stain the Caboodle?
Yes. Most families paint or stain it to match their yard. Just choose a suitable outdoor timber product.
How long does assembly take?
Usually 4–6 hours with two adults. A handyman can assemble it if you'd prefer.
Will it arrive before Christmas?
Dispatch is 5–7 business days and delivery is approx. 2–3 weeks depending on location. For Christmas orders, earlier is always better.
