This third edition of BLACK+DECKER The Complete Photo Guide to
Treehouses covers every aspect of treehouse building, from choosing a
tree and safety considerations to adding interior furniture and even a
zip line.
Featuring extended building techniques in step-by-step photo-illustrated
instruction.
For kids, a treehouse is a room that never has to be cleaned, a
place for muddy shoes and bug jars and adventures real and imagined; a
house that you can paint whenever and however you want, without gaining
approval. For adults, it's a room that never has to be cleaned, a place
for muddy shoes and...well, you get the idea. But best of all a
treehouse is up in a tree. And that's just cool.
Filled with inspiring photos of finished treehouses and
easy-to-follow instructions for building your own, learn with your
family treehouse basics--choosing a tree, planning and design,
treehouse safety--followed by building techniques for:
- Platforms designed for various tree configurations
- Framing and finishing walls and railings
- Finishing interiors with paneling, shelves, and flip-down tables and
bunks
- Doors, both classic and in fun shapes
- Windows, including shutters and pop-ups
- Building and framing roofs
- Modes of access, including ladders, stairs, trap doors, and a
fireman's pole
