    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/49353"&gt;@PrudenceF&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you for sharing your question about increasing the height of your cubby house. I suggest having a look at this discussion - &lt;A href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Outdoor/Cubby-house-base-ideas/td-p/94618" target="_blank"&gt;Cubby house base ideas?&lt;/A&gt; by &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/30908"&gt;@SxcMnx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;. In the discussion there is a suggestion of how to use sleepers as a base for the cubby house, which incidentally will raise the height of the house by 200mm+. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Using concrete blocks is technically a combination of building a shed floor with concrete footing at the bottom. I recommend having a quick look at this discussion - &lt;A href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Garden/Best-waterproof-garden-shed-floor-Thoughts-on-Pavelock/m-p/163969" target="_blank"&gt;Best waterproof garden shed floor? Thoughts on Pavelock?&lt;/A&gt; by &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/43207"&gt;@Minty&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;. There is an example of how the concrete blocks known as &lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/deko-250-x-150-x-150mm-instant-concrete-foundation-block_p1080391" target="_blank"&gt;DEKO 250 x 150 x 150mm Instant Concrete Foundation Block&lt;/A&gt; are used in combination with timber framing to create the base, which will increase the height of your cubby house.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you wish to make it even taller, the next way to do it is to build a low-level deck. This will require a fair bit more D.I.Y. knowledge as you will be building a complex structure.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, I need some advice with my cubby. We got a Kmart cubby last year and my eldest has shot up and now hits his head a lot going in and out. Would love to raise the cubby’s height, but not sure how.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;i have read through all the threads and there was&amp;nbsp;a comment in one saying to use treated pine sleepers or concrete blocks but would love some more information on how to do this?!&lt;/P&gt;
