Pure inspiration
|
Once again, the almost unanimously positive reader response is spot on. What a brilliantly put together book ... and its scope is superb too - this could be helpful in putting up the most simple 6'x 6' platform right through to a village in the sky that would last three generations. And yet it never forgets that true tree house happiness is not always to be found in some over-designed and absurdly ornate superstructure ... but more likely in a simple crow's nest at the end of a suitable branch.
Although I ordered this during a fine English spring, and it has taken four months to arrive from the U.S. and the nights are now drawing in, I am very glad I waited: a tree house is for life, and early next year our family will build a fantastic one - all because of this fine book.

Tree houses I HAVE actually built
|
If you are looking for a really practical, fluently written, well explained, step-by-step instructional book to help, assist and guide you through the process of conceiving, creating and building a tree house, don't look any further.
This book was all I expected it to be, my compliments to the author.

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.

Enter the "Treehouse Zone"!

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.

We should have built our treehouse, last year!

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.
