Product Description

Synopsis

This inspirational yet practical guide shows how even the most inexperienced weekend carpenter how to design and build a lifetime of memories for the entire family. Five basic designs for 1, 2, or 3 trees and even a freestanding platform are shown.'

From the Author

A book that clearly illustrates how to build a tree house.
This book was written to help kids and their parents build a tree house in their backyard. Since every tree is unique, it follows that no two tree houses will ever be exactly alike. There are, however, basic tree house building fundamentals that can help you plan and build your particular tree fort more easily. We describe how to support a platform using braces, how to connect to branches, and especially important, how to build a level platform. Since every tree house builder is limited by the number of trees growing in his or her backyard, we show you how a tree house can be built in one tree, two treees, three trees and four trees. We also include the fun parts of building a tree house such as how to make a secret escape hatch, a rope bridge, a telephone, plus pulleys, trolleys and swings. Finally, we interviewed over fifty families who have built tree houses and listened to their ideas and suggestions. Terrific photographs of their tree houses and comments are included in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enter the "Treehouse Zone"!, 10 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Buy this book and build a really great treehouse. I built a super-cool "one tree" treehouse last summer using this book and not only did I find it extraordinarily instructive on the actual "how to," I also found myself drawn into what I came to call the "treehouse zone" that David and Jeanie Stiles create. This book has several great plans that you can easily adapt to your own tree, plus tons of wonderful "extras" that put it over the top. This summer I put on a second storey, though I didn't have the book available; I was able to go on what I had built before under it's guidance. Please, come join me in the Treehouse Zone.

By Z. Stojkov (St Albans, Hartfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just have a look at it and you are addicted to tree houses. Good source of information even for a serious DIY person. Simple and clear construction examples that can be applied to most situations. Nice pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars We should have built our treehouse, last year!, 30 July 1999
By A Customer
My husband, three sons and I had so much fun! The illustrations were great, we knew what we were doing every step of the way. I highly reccommend building a treehouse for anyone who has children, especially little boys. I know where my kids are now all the time, they're in the treehouse.
