Painting and Care Guide
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
Painting Architectural Details

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 to limit movement. 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
Architectural Display Consideration
The Newport is designed as a statement architectural piece for your backyard. Consider placement where the distinctive design and architectural details can be enjoyed and showcased, as well as where the structure complements your overall outdoor aesthetic.
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: 4-5 hours for two adults
The Newport is the most architecturally detailed cubby house in the collection, featuring split barn doors, decorative chimney, and distinctive arched windows.
