SteelChief Cubbies and Playgrounds

ShedCraft have a magnificent range of cubby houses and forts that will entertain your children for hours. Monkey Bars and Swings are also available. With interesting features and styles, our playgrounds will inspire exploration and creativity.

You can add an elevation to your cubby which opens up lots of other possibilities including a slide, a scramble net, a fireman’s pole or a rock wall. There is also the possibility of adding a connecting bridge to another cubby allowing you to build your own adventure playground. A cubby and a fort is a winning combination.

All of our cubby houses and forts are made with the highest quality treated pine, which complies with AS 1604 to ensure a safe and environmentally friendly play area. They are durable and designed to withstand even the harshest conditions. We are proud to be part of the local team designing and building children's play equipment.

All óf our cubby houses and forts come in pre-assembled panels with detailed installation instructions, making installation easy. We also provide a full delivery and installation service. If you do require help with installation then we do offer this service to a number of major areas including Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Canberra, Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo. Custom designs are also available.

    The Hut
    The Hut is our most popular cubby house – a compact cubby that provides enough room for your kids to run around in while also not taking up too much space in your backyard. It creates a great environment within the safe confines of your backyard to keep them active and healthy. Consider staining The Hut for a darker finish or alternatively why not paint it brighten up the backyard!

    If you want to create an adventurous playground consider adding an elevation in which items such as slides, scramble nets and rock walls can be added. Alternatively, a café servery will keep their imagination ticking over as they play shops. There are so many options to choose from.

INSTALLATION

ShedCraft Installation

ShedCraft can arrange for your full installation work. Please select the cubby or fort, map out the options and then discuss with us. We will prepare a full quotation including delivery and installation.

DIY Installation

For the DIY enthusiast, our cubby houses and forts are the easiest and best product on the market. All of our cubbies come in pre-made walls and roofs and you only need to screw together the separate panels using a cordless drill and your cubby house will be assembled in no time! Please ensure the ground is flat and level prior to erecting your cubby house. There are a great range of videos and notes to help guide you through the installation process on our website and SteelChief's website.

Alternatively, if you require installation to be done for you then contact us and we can help arrange it.

SITE PREPARATION

Our cubby houses can be installed directly onto the ground, however we do stress that the ground is completely flat and level with a layer of compacted crushed rock. If you are looking to install an elevated cubby house and want to concrete the posts into the ground then please follow the instructions supplied with your cubby and online. If there are any queries please call us before you commence installation.

We do offer site preparation and concreting services.
