Ensure you have your Bijou Build kit and your pressure treated wood.
2. CHOOSE YOUR LOCATION
We recommend a relatively flat area, free of low-hanging branches or other obstructions. Also, choose a soft surface for staking.
3. ASSEMBLE WOOD TO BRACKETS
It helps to have a couple adults in this step. See product manual for more detailed instructions.

When you are done playing, remove the stakes, fold up the tent, and secure it with the included straps. We include easy to carry handles, so 2 adults (it's heavy!) can carry the Bijou to a new location or store it.

Customer Reviews
I tore up the internet looking for a new playset after a tornado flipped and twisted our traditional slide/swing combo in April. Im an OT with a 3 and 5 year old boys and wanted something more open-ended that still gave them the sensory outlet they needed! Our boys love their mainstay and we just purchased the swing arm as an addition! I love that I can add on to this at birthdays/christmas—it is truly our hub when we are outside. I can see them loving it for years to come—I know I would have loved it as a kid and teen!
We love our bijou for its ease of assembly, quality of the materials, and unique fun esthetic!
Our daughter loves playing on it and we hope to add a second one with the bridge accessory in the future.
We have a rather small yard and we’re looking for a play structure for our 1 year old and 5 year old, that had tons of features. The Bijou is perfect it give plenary for the 5 year old to climb on and make believe with and the 1 year old love kicking it on the platform and pushing on the walls. Could not have asked for more. Oh and the LED light are super cute at night. It makes me simple looking at it every evening.
Everything was great. It was much more difficult to put together than I thought, and it was much heavier when we were done then they make it appear in the video.
Very glad we bought the Bijou. We live in New England and winters can be tough on playsets, so Bijou being collapsible and repairable is a big win. We took our time putting this together, two summer evenings after work in all to put it all in place. I’m sure someone more handy could do it faster but even with our limited skills this was not a big project thankfully. Some of the directions were a bit confusing at first but we figured it out. It looks gorgeous in our yard, the parts are all very well made, and most importantly it is our kid’s favorite place to play with her friends now.
FAQ
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.
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.
It’s actually 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.
You need a Bijou Build design kit from us, which comes with all the fixin’s and five 10ft pressure treated 2x4’s to be exact. It comes automatically with your kit, but if you would prefer to get the wood from your local hardware store, you can indicate that at checkout as well (the price will adjust automatically). There’s no fancy cuts- just good ol’ 2x4’s. 2x4’s should be construction grade pressure treated for outdoor use.
You will also need an 8ft step ladder and a drill to assemble the Bijou with the included wood screws.
With that, you’re ready to get started!
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.
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.
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.
