Congratulations!
You have been chosen as our hired contractor to create a new style tree house. Building a custom tree house is a journey that the tree and you take together. The result is quite remarkable as the structure and tree become one. During the creative process; tree house construction is much deeper than any list of steps. Its essence cannot be captured in a “how-to” manual. Building a tree house is a dream, an obsession, an escape, a work of art and an emerging science. To sum it all up, tree house building represents freedom. Tree-houses give us freedom from gravity, freedom from our obsession with industry, and freedom from traditional mundane structures.
What to do: Create a Custom Tree House that is uniquely “You”
Some teenagers and kids build tree-houses with stolen lumber from building sites. Some cities and arboretums hire professional tree-house companies to engineer and precisely build sophisticated tree houses and structures. Engineers tend to push the limits with their personal experiments, often creating spheres, futuristic or extra-terrestrial dwellings, or 8th wonder of the world candidate concepts because they like the design challenges. Part of the liberating aspect of this process is that it’s your masterpiece. Perhaps you want your tree house to reflect the glory and splendor of the the Lord of the Rings tree houses, Swiss Family Robinson’s famous house, or even the houses and rope bridges in the Ewoks’ village. Or perhaps you have a particular, personal inspiration for your design to make it your own.
Now you have vision and it’s time to talk about construction methods:

- What do we need to know?
- Workshops
- Contracts
- Jobs/responsibilities
- Take a walk around outside and find your "perfect" branch
