When my kids started hauling up blankets to make rooms in trees, I decided it was time to build a treehouse. This slideshow documents our efforts. Music by Sigur Ros.

  • What type of netting did you use for the bridge? What is it normally used for? Where did you purchase it? THANKS

  • @tonymark1526 it's playground/safety netting. Special ordered from incord.com Called and spoke to Robin Ritz, 860-537-7001 X118. I emailed photos, discussed, and they told me what I needed. Very helpful. 

  • Amazing work, really inspiring ! And love the song as well..

    What's your background ? How much did it cost ? Only your 3 kids helped you, or did you hire someone at one point ? Please tell me you did not let your daughter screw those screw manually and gave her a drill ?

  • @LouisFrancois No construction background. Learned on the job. Took all summer. Mostly kid help, a few times required adults. No drill for daughter until she can use the old fashioned driver :)

  • How much clearance did you leave for the tree to grow out? It doesnt look like much in the video. Great work though. The song though.. not good.. not good at all.

  • @stusvend 1.5 to 2 inches. I filled it in with some foam insulation which is flexible.

  • Awesome tree house. I never had a tree house, either. Some of my friends did, but none of theirs were nearly this elaborate (electricity!)

  • how much did it cost

    what is the size of the base?
