Understanding how to build a tree house

If you build a tree house or fort for your children, they will play there for hours. Build according to the plan below and your treehouse will be safe, won't damage wood, and will last for many years.

1) Mark the floor of the house and mark the hole for the post with white chalk.

Place the planks on the tree so that they mark the edges of the floor of the house, and then attach them to the tree. Throw a pawn from the corner of the floor of the house to mark the location of the first pillar hole. Mark the spot with chalk and dig a hole about 60 cm deep.

2) Add gravel and place the first 10 x 10 cm post.

Place the gravel approximately 7.5 cm high and then insert a 10 x 10 cm pillar into the hole. Make sure the bar is straight upright. Attach the barbell to the floor so it doesn't move.

3) Place the three supports in quick-drying concrete.

Pour the quick-drying concrete mixture to the height of the pole hole 7.5 cm. Add water and make a wet solution to mix well with the mixture and remove air bubbles. Position the other two poles in the same way.

4) Finish the frame of the treehouse and straighten the corners.

Add two other planks to create a four-sided platform. Connect them by screwing the screws in the corners of the house to secure them in place.

5) Attach the posts securely to the frame of the treehouse.

Drill each post and frame and hammer in any thick nails. Then replace the caps and tighten securely with a screwdriver. Cut off the tops of the posts with a saw.

6) Build the stairs to the treehouse.

Join two pairs of 5x10cm planks together like a stair rail, then drill each rung equally with a portable drill. Squeeze the ends of the pegs and insert them into the corresponding holes drilled in both ladder handrails. Then secure them by hammering in nails.

7) Add beams and secure plank platforms.

Use stainless steel screws to secure the two 5x20cm crossbars across the platform. Lay the planks perpendicular to the joists, leaving a 1.5 cm gap to collect water and debris. Fasten them with screws to the platform.

8) Make the walls of the treehouse.

Build four walls of the treehouse with planks, pegs, and top / bottom railings. Take your time to position each wall on each side of the platform and then screw them to the platform with screws.

9) Cover the walls and close the treehouse.

Cut 15 cm of stakes from the outer cover and cover the walls of the house. Arrange them and secure according to the instructions with a nail gun. Tighten the screws to be sure.
