Painting and Care Guide
Painting is Essential

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
Painting Tip for Simple Design
The Herbie's simple, clean design makes painting straightforward. Without extra features like decorative chimneys or complex architectural details, painting is efficient and achieves beautiful results with standard timber paint finishes.
Safety and Placement Information
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
Ideal for Imaginative Play
The Herbie's open windows and bright, cheerful design create the perfect setting for creative imaginative play. Consider placing in a location where children can enjoy natural light and where the cottage charm adds to the storybook experience.
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 and Support
Assembly Time: 2-3 hours for two adults
The Herbie Cubby House features a simple, elegant design that makes assembly straightforward. With two cartons and no extra features or complex components, the assembly process is efficient and manageable. The clean design means you can focus on the final creative touches like painting and styling.
