Tree House

Having your own tree house is a dream for many children.

In principle, building a tree house is not that difficult. However, remember about the reliability and safety of such a structure, because your children will play there!

So, before you start building, you need to choose a suitable tree. It should be large enough, with strong, thick branches. Old trees with a large crown are best suited for this purpose. Do not try to build the house too high - for safety reasons. The optimal height for placing a tree house is 3 m.

But what if there are no suitable trees on your site, and you want to please the children? The solution is simple - build a house on pillars-supports, a kind of hut on chicken legs. Remember that in this case the foundation and supports for the house must be very reliable, and it is better to entrust their construction to professionals.

If the house is built on a tree, take care of the reliability of the fasteners. To connect the elements of the structures, you can use ready-made metal connectors. First of all, you need to build a plank flooring, which will play the role of the floor of the house. The plank flooring can be covered with OSB boards.

Construction of walls

As for the construction of walls, the type of material used can be very different. For these purposes, the same OSB, plywood or even siding will work well.

And of course, a tree house cannot do without a roof. It can be covered with any of the available roofing materials, as in the case of a real house. Of course, a roof made of wooden shingles or straw will look best, but its implementation requires experience and professional skills. The final stage of construction is decorating the "facade". It is advisable to involve your children in painting the walls, as well as decorating the facade and interior with various accessories. Let them show their creativity, because this is their house!

Another important element of the design is a reliable and strong ladder that children will use to climb up to the house. Make sure that it is securely fastened and does not pose a danger to children.

Ready-made projects of such houses can be found on the Internet. As for the cost of building such an object, it is quite possible to invest several thousand hryvnias. A relatively low price for the joyful smiles of your children, isn't it?
