A Work in Progress

Construction time varies considerably, and is very much dependant upon the size and nature of the project. Stage One Large pressure-impregnated foundation timbers support the weight of the tree house. Braces fastened around the base of the tree or stilts secured into the ground provide adequate support for the structure. Stage Two The tree house frame takes shape around the trunk of the tree. The platform has been lined with ribbed timber decking to provide a safe, solid and level surface. Stage Three Next, the roof is constructed from smooth roofing joists and lined with 12mm marine ply. It will be covered with heavy-duty green mineral roof felt. Stage Four The roof is finished with Cedar shingles to create an attractive and long lasting weatherproof finish. Finished The Childrens play equipment has been installed, including a fireman's pole, rope ladder, traditional swing, and a 50-metre zip wire crossing the garden. A rope bridge also connects the tree house to an adjoining drinks deck for the adults.
