Now You Too Can Have A Tree House Plan To Make A Safe, Weather Resistant, Neighbour Envying Tree House That All Great Parents Deserve To Build For Their Little Terrors.
I have been making treehouses since I was very small. My dad loved to help me, and he created some life long memories that I will cherish forever.
Buying a ready-built treehouse doesn't have the same effect.. and it costs a heck of a lot more too.
Today I'd like to show you how you can have a treehouse plan to build a safe, affordable, all-weather treehouse that lasts for years... and in as little as one weekend.
No more safety risks, no more disappointed kids and no more being ripped off by toy manufacturers.
And that's important, because...
Building A Tree House Means More Than Just A Hideout Den For Your Kids!

Looking back, I realize that it wasn't the treehouses that made me happy. It was the quality time I spent with my dad.And it was the pride and sense of satisfaction too.
You see, every time I played in the treehouse, I would tell my friends that I and my dad built it from scratch.
They would drop their jaws and tell me how cool my dad was... some said their dads wouldn't even give them 10 minutes with a football or baseball.
My dad was proud, and he knew what these simple things in life meant to me and our relationship.
I'm sure you are the same with your kids, right? After all, that is why you are here, isn't it?
If so, I applaud you, because these days, so many people think good parenting simply means buying them the latest computer games, or a TV for their room.
Many of these kids who go off the rails are also the ones with a poor relationship with their parents.
That's why you are different, and why I congratulate you on deciding to actually put in the effort to raise your children properly.
And here is another kickback for you...
You get a bit more peace and quiet around the house when your kids are tucked away in the treehouse all summer!
However, Building A Tree House Can Cause Tears And Tantrums Too...
I will be totally honest with you, the first few treehouses we tried to build actually ended up as a collapsed pile of wood in the back yard.Then there were some emergency tree operations where my dad had to saw branches off just so we could get my younger brother out before bedtime.
It's funny looking back, but at the time our "slapdash" tree houses could have caused many arguments, cuts, and injuries and caused us to get stuck or fall from a height and seriously risk our lives.
I know it sounds dramatic, but it's very possible when you think about it.
But my dad was smart and very protective. That's why he stepped in and showed us how to build a treehouse that would stand the test of time and keep us warm, dry, and safe in any season.
I went on to build many in the years that followed, and some were more tree castles than houses. Fast forward many years and I now have children of my own, and when they wanted a treehouse it was my time to shine again.
What I discovered along the way, is that...
Not All Tree Houses Are Created Equal!
Each project is different. Sometimes you'll need to work out whether the treehouse needs ground support, or if it will be stable on a certain type of tree, or which materials to use for different styles and sizes......and let's face it, the last thing you want is to put your child's safety at risk, right?
That's why many people visit this website for the detailed treehouse plans I have available for you today.
You see, the sheer pleasure I get from building tree houses both as a child and parent has made me want to share that with other proud parents like yourself.
And when I remembered how improper instruction nearly resulted in my brother getting seriously injured, I knew that my treehouse plans would surely help other parents like you.
So keep reading, because I'm going to offer you all of the resources, steps and plans you need to create a safe tree house that lasts all year round.
You're about to get everything you need all in one easy resource... from the type of house to build, through to the tools and assembly.
Step by step, detail by detail.
Seriously, I've got it all covered so you can avoid the boring research and finally get started in that fun project to make your kids - and yourself - proud and happy.
Better still, I'm also going to show you how you can build an award-winning treehouse in as little as one weekend!
Ready? Great; so let's get started...
How Good Parents Build Solid Tree Houses...
building a tree houseThe principles are simple...There are three main components to building a treehouse: the foundation, the posts, and the rest of the structure.
The foundation and posts keep the treehouse functional and safe, and the rest of the structure is where you can really turn the treehouse into an amazing looking den for your kids.
When you get these three elements working together properly, you will have a truly safe, long-lasting, and visually stunning treehouse that your kids will adore.
Now here is the overview...
Step 1. Picking a suitable tree
It is important that if the tree is going to be supporting the entire house, that it is sturdy. If not, this can lead to major accidents and tricky building conditions.So a sturdy tree is a must, but you'll also need posts.
The tree will often act as the main supporting leg of the house, but posts make the treehouse truly secure and safe.
We'll use posts as legs to create a basic structure so that the tree acts as only one leg supporting the house. Alternatively, when using posts you can have the tree go through the middle of the treehouse for a really cool "lookout tower" effect.
Step 2. Setting the foundation
This is where blueprints or sound, tested treehouse plans are very useful. The foundation of the actual house can be built in many ways, some much safer than others.It depends on what materials you choose, and the size of your treehouse of course.
A simple design would involve laying flat boards across the posts that you've installed and then simply nailing them all together.
Step 3. Getting creative
Now that you have the framework in place, you can design the actual treehouse in many creative ways. But before you do, here's a tip: ask your kids first!You want your kids to be involved, and to actually like the treehouse itself. Otherwise, you'll be wasting your time.
The great thing is, once you have the core foundation and support structure, anything goes really. Obviously, you will need to make sure any additional features and design elements are sturdy and can hold the weight.
Remember, there will likely be several kids in the house at any one time, so don't just base your plans on a single child's weight.
There are many different designs that are proven to be popular with kids, such as the open-air model which allows your kids to be visible and able to get out in an emergency, without being completely enclosed and boxed in.
The more you can incorporate the tree and surrounding environment, the better. After all, the whole point of building a treehouse is that your kids remember they are in a tree when they are actually inside it!
So that's the basic principles, but there's one more question...
What Could Go Wrong?
First of all, these are only the basics. There are many fine details involved for maximum safety, and to be able to build it properly the first time around.Furthermore, there are safety risks...
As with any DIY task or home-based activity, there's always a safety risk. When a treehouse is built incorrectly, this risk is huge.
All it takes is a rough nail or a loose plank and it could spell a hospital trip and a ruined summer for your kids.
And that's before we mention the risk of a side collapsing and a young child falling 10ft to the ground.
I don't say these things to scare you or put you off, but to make sure you follow plans and guidelines which are quite literally, as safe as houses.
It's really not hard to build a solid, safe, and great looking treehouse with the right guidelines and tools. It won't cost you a fortune and you probably have all the basic DIY tools you need to do it right now.
The one thing you're missing is the proven treehouse plans to actually take that idea and turn it into a dream treehouse that your kids will remember and enjoy for years to come.
Today, I'd like to give you that missing blueprint so you can have your new treehouse built in as little as one weekend, from scratch...
