Our Story
Hi, I’m Amanda Lacy, inventor, and founder of Bijou Build. I live in a beautiful seaside village in Maine with my 3 children, 1 leopard gecko, 5 fish, 4 chickens and 1 husband.
I came up with the idea for Bijou when I was looking for an outdoor play structure for my house during the Covid-19 pandemic. I saw a lot of old, unused structures that took over people’s yards and I knew I wanted something better.
With 3 kids, I’m always looking for ways to simplify my life and as the Lupine Lady says, make the world a more beautiful place. Join us on this mission. We can’t wait to see how you and your family Bijou.
- Amanda

your question? Ask us directly.
Why should I get the Bijou Build instead of a regular playhouse?
Our open-ended and modular design allows your kids to explore and play endlessly. The level of customization and play you get with your Bijou Build play structure you can’t find anywhere else.
Single-use, plastic playsets are often clunky, uninspiring, and bad for the environment. The Bijou Build’s teslin panels made of recycled material are not only sustainable, they look beautiful too.
There are so many ways you can Bijou and you can repurpose it as the years go by and the kids grow up, making it an environmentally responsible and stylish choice.
Bijou is the first play system designed for families. Kids to teens to adults can enjoy Bijou in different ways. The Solar panel and 100LEDs make a magical hangout space and the Sway is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee.
Bijou offers UV protection and a fun way for everyone to get outside.
Is the bijou build durable, weather resistant, and good for all-year use?
Your Bijou will last for years and years, regardless of where you live.
Bijou uses outdoor pro-grade materials:
The steel hinged bracket is powder-coated steel with a UV-resistant coating.
The metal hardware is stainless steel
The anchor feet are UV-injected nylon.
Our fabric panels have been tested for various climates and extended use and abuse scenarios.
Pressure-treated wood stands up to the elements and is decay and mildew-resistant.
We want your family to use your Bijou and make memories for years to come.
As far as water and weather resistance…
We designed the panels to be as porous as possible while providing UV protection and shade. Bijou doesn’t hold water or wind, so it is more sturdy and stable.
If your Bijou does ever get marred, simply spray it down with soap of your choice and water and scrub it with a brush. This is similar to cleaning outdoor cushions, etc…
Where can I use my Bijou?
Just about anywhere! It’s an outdoor play structure, but you can use it in the backyard, at the grandparent’s, the lake house and more. We do recommend a relatively flat and soft surface, so the Bijou is safely staked to the ground and the kids can play to their heart’s content.
How hard is the setup?
It’s easy peasy, lemon squeezy! Your initial assembly takes just under an hour with two adults. After that, whenever you want to Bijou, just pop it open, stake it to the ground, and get playing in just a few minutes.
Check out our Assembly Video here.
What do I need to get started?
You need a Bijou Mainstay from us, which comes with all the hardware, panels, hinged bracket etc... and then you need 10ft long 2x4's from your local hardware store. If you order the wood with your Bijou, we will arrange for it to be sent from your local Lowes or Home Depot. We designed Bijou to use standard construction-grade lumber that you can find locally. No fancy cuts needed, just 10ft length pressure treated 2x4's right off the shelf.
We recommend #2 grade wood.
You will also need an 8ft step ladder and a drill to assemble the Bijou with the included wood screws and a power drill.
With that, you’re ready to get started. Assembly time with 2 adults is approx. 1 hour
Is the Bijou Build safe?
We meet or exceed all US safety standards for Children's products and Children's outdoor play equipment including ASTM F963, F1148, EN71-1 and EN71-8. We’ve tested Bijou to the highest standards for use and abuse, torque and tension as well as weathering and UV testing.
Who is Bijou for?
Anyone with imagination! Kids, teens, parents, and grandparents alike. Bijou Build’s nature-inspired aesthetic and modular design means it works for your whole family through the years. 250lb max weight.
Does it come with wood?
YES! You have the option to order with wood or without. It couldn't be more simple!
Bijou uses standard construction grade pressure treated 2x4s available at your local hardware store.
Bijou doesn't require ANY special cuts and uses standard length wood at 10ft, so you can grab it right off the shelf.
It is important to use pressure treated wood for it's strength and durability in outdoor applications.
Pressure treated wood made after 2003 uses a non toxic treatment that is safe for children and pets.
Home Depot and Lowes will arrange delivery of your wood directly to your door for a small fee
Or, you can pick it up yourself and select exactly the pieces you want.
You can sand and add the finish to the wood to customize your Bijou.
How long is shipping?
