Build Your Own Treehouse: A Practical Guide

by Maurice Barkley

A tree house enchants young and old alike. Whether it is a private club hangout or a hiding place from the world. These structures may be manmade, but they're constructed to look as if they are natural offshoots of the tree. With Maurice Barkley's expert guidance, you'll be able to create your own small retreat in the sky. Barkley explains the entire process, including choosing one or more trees, selecting the right materials and tools and how to make a platform. Barkley also provides plans and instructions for completing a basic building with windows, a door and a porch. An illustrated look at the magical tree house village he created rounds out this inspiring-and practical reference.
