Comments: I found your site about half way through my treehouse construction ... it's remarkable how similar our designs are in ashape & size. I am supporting the "odd" corner from above with 1,000 pound chain, instead of the post from below, but other than that the deck is very similar. I WAS going with a pretty standard rail design ... until I saw yours. I LOVE the rope look. Thanks for the tip! |

Comments: Thank you for putting in all the time and effort that it had to take to post this wonderful site! Its very refreshing to see someone doing this just to be helpful to others, no strings attached. I am raising my two daughters on my own and also always thinking of things to build/buy for them to have fun with that will also help them learn and grow. Thanks again!! |

Comments: Task: to find photos and info relating to kid's treehouses. Result: I was amazed at how many websites I had to visit before I stumbled upon your fabulous site. A well built treehouse located in a good website done by someone whose sole purpose was to help others enjoy their projects as much as he did. Well done!! |

Comments: A guy from my church and my dad started building a treehouse (well its on the ground but a tree grows inside of it) for me and my sisters and I have been looking up sites about treehouses. I really like them and now my dream is to live in one as a house! |

Comments: As my son and I build his first tree house, your site provided us both with fun and good ideas. The rope barriers really got his interest as this is what he is learning in Scouts right now. Thanks so much for your efforts and the fact that you, obviously, love your family very much. |

Comments: An excellent website. You have given me some very good ideas & inspired me to buuild a treehouse for my 11 year old son (& me too). (webmaster note: Having children is a good excuse to enjoy some of the finer childhood pleasures as an adult.) |

Comments: We are just getting started on plans for my 8yr old's treehouse. We have an an excellent huge old beech nut tree at the edge of the woods. It has massive branches and a massive trunk. Is there anyone in my area that could come take a look and give us some advice? |

Comments: Hey I saw your website and was amazed at the craftsmanship you put into it. I really appreciate you sharing your skills and evolution of your plans with the public. Thats what the internet is about! Free and Sharing! I made my own closet personal double shelved closet, computer desk and hutch set in my little room 4 rent. I just kept going to furniture stores to steal ideas and to consummate my own work of art. I really like the loft bed idea. I am about to embark on my own captains bed/loft bed combo. but it will only be about 1 foot high off the ground so i can fit my boxes and sports equipment under and still not be too high in the air. I liked your loft bed 2. Great photos! Well thanks for the ideas, and if you could send any plans you have for the Loft bed and the Convertible bed that would really help me out. Im thinking about using 2x4x8 Doug fir wood since its cheap, clean, and strong. What do you think? Also, I have had to make things due to money problems. I was married with a daughter before i separated and I made some crafty things to keep things going. I admire your work and your stories. Well take care. Keep building and showing it off. It helps us all keep doing it too. Mark from Southern California. |

Comments: Very cool site. I have the situation you have no time. I just need to start it for the kids, they have been bugging me for a while. Thank you for the help. I will be using your page to get it done. Noel from Virginia. |

Comments: Fantastic treehouse site! My house is nearing completion and I found it very comforting that I used many of the same materials (quality wood, galv. hardware etc.) as you did. My platform (8'x10') is situated between 2 medium maples and supported by two PT 2x8s. 45 deg. diagonal braces (2x4) at either end stabilize the structure. My railings are similar to yours but I have not installed the rope webbing yet. On the platform I'm completing a 6' x 6 1/2' playhouse in the corner. This will give an "L" shaped w ap-around porch feature. Really enjoyed your site. Will scan and send some pictures if you'd like. Thanks again,

Comments: Hi! I've enjoyed your website! I am currently building a tree house for my two daughters. The tree is an old oak, with a trunk that branches into 3 limbs about 4 feet off the ground. The floor, walls and roof are framed, and the floor has been sheeted wit 1/2 inch plywood. I will sheet the walls and roof with 3/8 inch plywood. Each wall will have a hinged plexiglass window, and the roof will have a skylight! The floor plan is an irregular shape, which has been a pain-most of the cuts are not 90 degrees. T e treehouse is about 8 feet off the ground. I am also going to have a bucket and rope for the kids to lift things up to the tree house. My wife is going to make curtains for all the windows. We're all saying that if our house burns down, we'll be able to ive in the tree house! If you send your email address, I'll send you some pics! |
