Product Description

Review

Help your kids explore their imaginations with a well-built tree house. Schmidt (Decorating with Architectural Details) presents a well-organized guide to the basics of tree house building. Good photos and clear, detailed instructions lead readers through six designs. There is an informative section on what species of tree is best to "host" your structure as well as cautionary information on building codes and zoning. This is a solid book, but it lacks the flare and spirit of David and Jeanie Stiles's Treehouses & Playhouses You Can Build. Still, Schmidt provides great instruction and a solid foundation. Recommended --Library Journal

Product Description

"Building Treehouses" is a basic yet complete presentation of how to plan, design and build a safe, fun treehouse structure for children. The book begins with an inspirational chapter showing the many treehouse variations that are possible. Next, a chapter on basic techniques shows how the essential treehouse platform can be built and secured in any tree configuration, whether nestled high among the branches or designed so the trunk passes up through the center, and every variation in-between Separate chapters show the techniques for adding walls, roofs, ladders, access hatches and accessories, and the final chapter of the book gives complete plans for the treehouses, from the very simple to the surprisingly sophisticated. This book provides all the advice and information the prospective treehouse builder needs to know to plan and execute that perfect hideaway for the kids.

Very Good 23 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback
This is a very good book, with nice colour pictures for ideas, but also has the breakdown of the drawings so you can follow them to make the treehouse. As sponsored by Black&Decker it obviously recommends what tools you need for the job.
