Great tips Pisgahmts! Too late for me but all you builders out there take note to his advice. Sounds good to me :)

[horses4eva3300]

what do you mean "crank" it in?

[tracytalks2u]

@horses4eva3300 you need a long handled wrench (at least a foot) tool to crank around the bolt into the tree. It takes lots of brute force and determination.

Its nice and all but isn't the tree going to die from all the bolts drilled into it?

[tracytalks2u]

@monkeysize Been a year and a half and the tree is looking great so far in all seasons.

We actually built it together and had our kids join in the fun - except for our son who was being surprised for his 10th Birthday. I designed it and worked on it for about 8 hours and then my husband came to help out and did do more than half the work. He rocks.

I've always wanted a treehouse. I'm 20 now and I plan to build one of these when I buy a house.

[Pisgahmts]

First of all, they aren't spikes. They are lag bolts. That's what's going into the "main" board holding up all the weight. It's also called a "Ledger". Tracy, you need to take those out and add a washer and a double coil lock or "spring" washer. The reason for this is extremely important.... The health of the tree! You monitor the spring washer for spacing. If there is a gap between each coil of the washer you are in good shape. If no gap, loosen the lag bolts so the tree can grow!
