Our treehouse is nearly 2 years old. We have treasured it everyday. It is built on a triangle between three trees. It has a deck and lotza room inside. We have a futon bed, wood stove/wood box, table and chairs. It is great. In webshots.com you can find photos of it. Just search treehouses.

My treehouse is constructed in an old oak tree and situated 42 feet above the ground. 250 square feet give us some possibilities to sit around and enjoy the views. Unless the leaves are there.

I built my treehouse in 1994 with the intention of adding on pods and bridges and moving my family into it. Cooler heads prevailed and it became my office for many years. Now my new "ground" house is built 50 yards away and the treehouse has been converted to a guest house.

Hello, I'm 15 years old and during the last 3 years I've been working on my treehouse in the trees in my backyard. Right now my treehouse has a total of 3 levels with many balconies. I have one level with a water proof, screened in room and on another level I have a screened in balcony. If you want to see my treehouse in detail you should visit my website (trust me my treehouse is pretty cool) or feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

We built a deck 14' up in the limbs of two hickory trees and placed the Tree House Cabin behind it. Lots of glass, (including stained glass), handcrafted cedar log stairs, baywindow... see for yourself :)

This is my first treehouse, but certainly not my last..can't wait to start another! I bought all the books and learned by my mistakes. My "Robin's Nest" has gas heat and lights as well as a half bath, is fully furnished and has a sleeping loft as well. Go shopping in RV stores for interesting items that can be adapted for your interior. Plan to go bigger and add a tiny kitchen in the next one. Any tips for sealing around the trees? I used a tractor innertube - and it works well (depending on which way the wind in blowing) - of course the one through the porch roof has never leaked!

I have built a treehouse in oak tree on a hill close to Vltava river. Slovak settlement, an oppidum (10th century), took place here. Its equipment is very modest. I wanted to use natural materials only. I have made experiments with roof from bark and pitch, but it wasn't very succesful. There are almost no nails in the tree. A very nice sight on the river over the forest is available.

When we were kids, about 8 years ago, me and two of my friends started to build a treehouse in a forest owned by one of them. We went there every week-end but one day we quarreled and let it rot. This didn't last, for when I met my friend again (the one who owns the forest), we decided to carry on as before. Now, the treehouse is not yet finished but it is a place where we come as often as possible with some other friends and it is our favourite place to party.

It's a simple House (2m x 4m - 6.6 feet x 13) builted for the kids on a 20 x 13 feet platform (4m x 6m). It's a 4 trees made with things we have on site (very rustic). The platform is 9 feet above the ground. There is another platform (radiant) 10 feet above the platform. It's covered by a roof and it's more like an observation platform.

I'm looking for advices to prevent the rain to damage the wood and to make the platforms slipery.
