Customer Reviews
We love our new Bijou Build. The kids can’t wait to go outside to play on it. I just love being there with them. I will definitely be buying one for my sister. It is great family fun and no screen time and A+ in my book.
Bijou Build Mainstay
We just recently purchased our first Bijou and it has far exceeded our expectations. It is incredibly sturdy and the design, while putting it together, blew me away. The instructions, included with the product, for set up were a breeze and the instructional video on the website was also very helpful. Our kids, and us grown ups too, are havin my so much fun with this playset. My son was begging for a rock wall to climb but he’s even happier with the bijou because it has so many other fun things. Moving it has been easier than I imagined. We just love our bijou so much!
Twin 3 yr old boys thoroughly love the tent structure! They like stories read ti them in the tent on the sling with their blanket's.
I fell in love with this the second I saw a video online. Thanks to a generous military discount (such a gift- especially from a small company!) we ordered the Mainstay & eagerly awaited its arrival. I expected it to be great— but it FAR surpassed my high expectations- it’s amazing. We have a very, very small yard & could never commit to a permanent play structure. Bijou’s flexibility and structure footprint is perfect for our space and has made our backyard and extension of our living space. Assembly was logical, easy to follow and took two adults & a power drill about 2ish hours. On the first day the girls were outside playing from 7:30am until bedtime- not exaggerating. So grateful for this space & the magic that comes with it! Working on some geometry equations now to see how we can add the swing arm….ha!! Thank you, Bijou Build, we love it!!
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, but they also 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 an fun way for everyone to get outside.
Where can I use my Bijou Build?
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 it to 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.
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 the Bijou Build 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.
How long does it last?
Years and years! Our fabric panels have been tested for a variety of climates and extended use and abuse scenarios. Plus, your pressure treated wood stands up to the elements and, well, kids. We want your family to use your Bijou and make memories for years to come.
Does Bijou material hold water?
No! it does not. We purposely designed the panels to be as permeable as possible while still 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 down with soap of your choice and water and give a bit of a scrub with a brush. Similar to outdoor cushions, etc.
Does it come with wood?
YES! You have the option to order with wood or without. It couldn't be more simple!
