We built our kids a modern style treehouse. This was a fun and easy build! Since we built the wall framing in the garage, it went together fast, and minimal ladder work. More details and plans: www.sprucdmarket.com/plans/mo...

Many different designs for each type of project are also included. For example, there are hundreds of designs kzfaq.infoUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu for outdoor buildings, from small sheds all the way up to a complete stable. Choose whatever type of shed or storage house is right for you. Pick from fancy ones or more utilitarian designs.

It's wonderful that you were able to do this for your kids. My kids begged and begged, but their father and I were just not clever enough to figure out how to build one with our scrubby Alaskan trees. It's a beauty. Makes me want one for myself!

A 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ project. This is awesome. I've been trying to figure out how to climb a tree (@ 67 yrs) sit a while listen to the wind and read a book, and most importantly how to safely get down without calling for rescue. :) always a kid a heart...just love trees. Blessings have fun :)

Neme, I saw a video which addressed the older generation in a huge family tree house. Build overlapping steps as separate landings up to the height you want, and install railing. Then you can take your time climbing and enjoying the view from any height. If wide enough, you could add rail-seating on one side to sit whenever and wherever you wanted, and always have enough seats for family and friends. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ See the right overlap between steps A & B is 6-8 inches overlapped /#|#\ to stop you at your leg and help prevent a foot/leg slip between steps. \ / \ / \_(◕◕)______ A_ /___\________________ / leg stop / B __/____________ / | leg caught C /___\__________ B to C lacks overlap in which anyone could slip a foot through a 7.5 inch high stair step and which could cause a fall. I hope that this helps you to build a safe haven. I had to edit and shift some alignment, so I hope that it's correct on your screen.

Nice looking treehouse! I like the tin roof! I have also found that because of the movement of the tree, having the three 2x6s floating can help. I make a kind of J-hook with boards to mount to the tree and the joists are supported in them. The tree movement affects things more the higher you go up the tree. The last tree house I built for my kids was 3 levels--a four foot landing, a 7 foot floor and a 14 foot second floor.

You are such a good mom! And what a blessing to have the talent that you do, of building things and knowing how to use power tools safely. My dad was a carpenter and i remember begging him to build me a treehouse or even a playhouse on the ground. I didn’t care, all I wanted was a playhouse. He never did it for me. I remember how sad I was, and I just couldn’t understand why he didn’t want to build me one. I never had any desire to build until the past few years. My dad is sick now, so, unfortunately he can’t teach me. I’m hoping he will get better and be able to, but I don’t know how it’s going to turn out. Little by little I am purchasing my own tools though. So far I have a 12 inch sliding miter saw, a brad nailer, staple gun, and a drill. I hope I’m not wasting my money and I hope I’m able to learn to make all of the things that I want to make. I just came across your channel and I’m thrilled that I did. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos and see what else you have made. Thanks for sharing! 😊😊

I had a side job for some very rich clients to build a tree house for their only daughter. 15'X25' deck in between 4 trees with a 10'X15' Tree house on top of it. The house section was up against 2 of the sides, leaving a 5'X25' deck on 1 side and a 5'X10' deck on the end. It had 3-4'X4' slider windows and a 6' sliding door. It had a full stairwell and railings all around the deck, along with a 40 amp electrical service. They also made me wire, insulate, bead board, paint, outlets, cable, bunk beds, carpet...the works ! I'm talking curtains, mini blinds, trim work and a small baseboard heater with thermostat. It was a mini house minus a bathroom and kitchen. It also had Indoor and outdoor lighting with Cedar shakes for siding and the list goes on. One of the funnest projects I've ever had the pleasure to build ! Their child loved that place for over 10 yrs and is still standing. Sorry for such a long comment, thumbs up.

What was your final cost? $60 for cedar walls was a great choice. That cuts down on the bugs too. Just sand it a little when the cedar smell dissipates or if bugs start to collect. If there's enough branches, greenhouse panels are really nice for letting more light inside. Research arbor slats and how a turmoil breeze helps to deter bugs from hanging around. They're a good add on for the gap in your roof and for a wall under the treehouse, where kids might picnic in the shade or sit out of a rain. Usually placed on the west wall which gets the most wind. Lake people may want to choose a northern or NW wall.
