Tree houses capture the imagination of the child in all of us, and they remain a popular kid-friendly oasis that can encourage kids to get outdoors, away from their screens.
Tree Houses You Can Actually Build shows even the most inexperienced weekend carpenter how to design and build a lifetime of memories for the entire family.
In this timeless guide, David and Jeanie Stiles explain basic building procedures through clear, simple instructions and nontechnical line drawings that illustrate every step of the project, from the earliest sketches to the final cedar shingle. The authors outline five basic designs that can be adapted to virtually any set of conditions, and throughout the book they emphasize safety for both adults and children. In addition to line drawings, the book contains a section of full-color photographs highlighting a variety of tree house projects, plus helpful building tips based on interviews with their owners.
