Bijou Deluxe Mainstay

The Bijou Deluxe Mainstay gives kids a backyard place that can handle both big imaginations and quieter moments. Built around the modular Mainstay, it adds a Next Level Platform and two Bijou Pockets to create multiple spots for climbing, reading, drawing, talking with a friend, or taking a break between more active play.

For families whose kiddos are always building forts, finding cozy corners, or carrying books and treasures outside, this configuration turns one play structure into a flexible two-level hangout that can keep changing with them.

Bijou Deluxe Mainstay for Climbing, Reading & Quiet Outdoor Play

• Two levels to explore: The Next Level Platform adds another perch and changes how kids move through and use the Mainstay.
• Two cozy Pockets: Kids get dedicated places to curl up, read, relax, or keep favorite things close.
• Movement plus downtime: The Mainstay still gives kids opportunities to climb and move while the added spaces make room for quieter play.
• Made to grow with your family: Bijou’s modular design lets you add compatible bridges, swings, climbing panels, and other accessories later.
• Designed for outdoor use: Weather-conscious materials and solar LED lighting help make the structure part of everyday backyard play.

Bijou Deluxe Mainstay Wood Requirements & Installation

The Mainstay uses 5 standard 10 ft pressure-treated 2x4s. Bijou does not require special cuts, so families choosing No Wood can purchase the lumber locally.

Choose With Wood if you want Bijou to coordinate compatible lumber with the order. Because this is a Mainstay-based structure, it must be properly staked and anchored according to Bijou’s installation instructions before use.

Bijou describes the Deluxe Mainstay setup as approximately a two-hour project. Always follow the current instructions supplied for the Mainstay and accessories.

Bijou Deluxe Mainstay Outdoor Reading Nook & Active Play Space

This is a good fit for families who do not want to choose between an active play structure and a quiet outdoor retreat. Kids can climb and explore when they need movement, then settle into a Pocket or platform with a book when they need a different pace.
