How to build a treehouse

Step 17 Enjoy!

The treehouse is a great little (36 sq. ft.) haven for the kids; they love it and so do all their friends.

Update 2012: I'm happy to report the treehouse is three years old now, it's suffered no damage from windstorms, snow, or tree growth, the trees are healthy, and it still gets lots of use. We've made a few updates over the years, adding a pirate's treasure chest, a swing, a braided climbing rope, a BEWARE sign we use out front at Halloween, and it's well-equipped with Nerf guns & water pistols. It's just big enough for two single air mattresses, so it's fun to sleep out in, too.

Well done! A tree house is on the ever expanding list of things to do before it gets too cold (I live in Minnesota). I also have some of David Stiles books for ideas but it's nice to see yours in action.
