Wendy Houses, Wigwams & Play Tent FAQ's

Want to know a few facts before a wee tent or play home is built or assembled? Below are our garden gnomes top 4: 

1. What do I cover the outdoor ground beneath it with?

Don’t worry, we stock special floor quilts that are made to fit the length and width of our play structures. They’re plush enough to cushion a child, and resist moisture from wet grass or decking. Tents/wigwams are a different matter – some arrive with floor covers, and some without. For the latter, use a water proof sheet and spread two or three blankets to form a single layer if outdoor conditions are a little damp.

2. Can I use your tents and Wendy houses indoors too?

Every Cuckooland product you see in this collection is adaptable for indoor and outdoor use. Many come with storage bags, so you can effortlessly move them from one area to another. Don’t leave them on the lawn for long spells, however, as they’ll become brittle with cold and end up being covered in garden debris or ruined by water/mould. 

3. Do I need special tools for a tent setup?

It depends what you’re buying: a tent or a wigwam. Fundamentally, wigwams arrive with six wooden poles that align in the fabric, aided by string and plastic connectors. It shouldn’t take long to erect it, and you won’t need any tools. Play tents are a separate prospect… You’ll get the pegs, poles and a full list of instructions, but you’ll need a mallet to secure the pegs in place.

4. Where should I position my playhouse in the garden?

First off, sunny spots aren’t a problem, as the fabric has anti-UV properties to protect your kids and the quality of the colour finish. Branches, thorns and vegetation, however, might pierce the sides of the playhouse, which are fairly thin. Since the largest playhouses are just over 1 and a half metres high, we recommend a minimum of 2 metres’ free space from the ground up, saving the items from tree or hedgerow damage.
