Tree House
Hi All,

Back in the winter I was asked to build a tree house, but not to spend any money on wood, use what was lying around.



So here it is, a bit wonky as no tree was exactly straight.

The uprights are Cherry trees felled in the wood behind the tree house, the cross braces are Hazelnut as are the floor joists.

The sides are old pallet wood (coconut i am led to believe) and the roof is some boards left behind buy the builders after carrying out some work at the house.

Due to its location, the only power tools used were a petrol chainsaw and a cordless drill. oh, and a big hammer and nails.

I am pretty pleased with it for a couple of days work, and the customer is more than happy with the look/feel of it.

Nigel

Re: Tree House
Hey Drystone..

Thats an awsome treehouse based on the conditions you had to work in, and the materials given!

whats holding the cross sections of the supporting timbers together, is it just nails?

You could have used some of your instant grab on it to seal the joins in the roof too?

Do they actually use it?
