Tree House Designs

If you are about to build your first tree house, there are some important things you should know. Usually the peak season of building tree house is between the months of April-May. But if you are going to build one then you should start much earlier.

WINTER

This season has nothing to offer but cold and snow but there are still some tasks you must do outside. This is the one part of the season when all trees are bare and no leaves are in sight.

- Take pictures of the branch of the tree and imagine the house being built there.

- Remove any leaves to have access for spring time.

- Between the months of December and February, trim the branches and cut off the dried branches.

- Spend the planning inside your house and make all the details.

- Place where the ropes and pulleys should be place right.

- Prepare all your tools and materials.

- If weather will permit then this is the perfect time to put on bolts to your tree when trees are still bare.

SPRING

- Prepare the foundation of the tree.

- Prepare the floor platform.

- Put some test weights on the floor and leave it for one week.

- Prepare now the floors and walls.

FALL/AUTUMN
