Raise the Bar When it Comes to Building a Treehouse

It’s no secret that we love a good treehouse. Here’s how you can build one that can set the bar high for playtime.

Building a treehouse can be more involved than you might think. So, before you get started on your new building adventure, make sure to take the time to make it safe for your kids.

When choosing the tree to build your treehouse in, make sure it’s a healthy one. Any healthy tree with about a foot in diameter, hardwood or softwood, should do the trick. Although, a single tree can be perfect for a smaller project, you can use multiple trees to create your dream space.
