Do you want to please a child? Building a tree house!

It's no secret that the house on the tree - it's an impressive sight. Certainly each of us has remained a dream - to build a house for themselves and their children. I had the experience of building the tree house, and I can tell you how to quickly and easily complete the task in front of you.

accident prevention

During the construction of the house is necessary to equip it with additional design that will keep him from falling. Generally, as the support threads used on which are fixed the boards and planks.

select materials

Materials - an important point. It is necessary to choose the most suitable for your type of wood and pieces of wood, planks, a hammer, a tape measure, in general, all the tools used by carpenters.

If this is you first experience, it is better of course to build a small house, which will weigh a little bit. The smaller house weighs, the less the likelihood of damage and further damage to the support - that is, wood.

Construction should begin by selecting a suitable strong wood, and only then begin to build a house. The diameter of the tree must be at least 400 millimeters. Calculated using the formula: P = 2πR required length of the tree circumference: 2 x 3.14 x 200 mm = 1256 mm. It turns out that you need the tree should be in girth at least 1 meter 26 cm.

Ways to strengthen support:

● Using two tie bars

● With the help of ropes

● Using the supporting pillars

One of the safest options will be fixed rope, as screws and screws are attached to the trunk of the tree itself, and you can easily damage it. method of attachment with nails, screws or screws to the trunk of wood is considered wrong and not environmentally friendly because it harms the tree.

Once you have decided on the type of fastening of a support, select the version of the access to the house. Naturally, with the help of a ladder, but you can use any version of a rope or a fixed adjacent to the support. The choice is yours.

Note the threads that will interfere with your home. They need to either cut down, which is not good, or somehow arrange it so that they do not interfere.

It is best to place reliance on thick branches. Boards fastened neatly on both sides and pulled together with the help of tie pins and threading, with then, they are stacked beams, which act as lag. You can nail them with nails or screws to fix the main thing that is not to the trunk and branches of a tree.

Do not forget the universal galvanized screws or screws for fixing structural trusses, which must be placed across the platform, and only then start. After installation, start the installation of the rafters sheathing. From the choice of roofing depends step lath. After sheathing make installation of roofing. Once the walls and roof are ready, you can begin the installation of handrails and fences. Leave the input for the subsequent installation of the stairs, and the rest area close the guardrail and handrail. Once the fence is installed, you can proceed to the construction of stairs, choose any of the above contact option.

Lastly, I want to mention two points.
First. Just in case as a roof you are staying in the simplest version (or lay plywood board), then that during the rainy weather the children could hide there, I advise you to close the roof tarpaulin.

Second. To the whole structure to delight you and your children, treat all wooden structures antiseptic. And at the end of construction to paint the whole house with special paint to protect it from UV rays and other atmospheric effects.
