Product Description
Tree houses capture the imagination of the child in all of us, and they have never been more popular than they are today. This inspirational yet thoroughly practical guide shows even the most inexperienced weekend carpenter how to design and build a lifetime of memories for the entire family. With more than 200,000 copies of their popular Weekend Project Books sold, David and Jeanie Stiles have become America's First Couple of do-it-yourself woodworking. In Tree Houses You Can Actually Build, they explain basic building procedures through clear, simple instructions and non-technical line drawings that illustrate every step of the project, from the earliest sketches to the final cedar shingle. The authors outline five basic designs that can be adapted to virtually any set of conditions, and throughout the book, they emphasize safety for both adults and children. In addition to line drawings, the book contains a section of full-color photographs highlighting a variety of tree house projects, plus helpful building tips based on interviews with their owners.

I grew up watching my father renovate the houses we lived in, but I've never build anything myself. This year, I really wanted to build a treehouse with my two daughters, ages 7 and 9, and I really wanted it to be a mom-and-daughter driven project (with help with the heavy lifting from dad and older brother). I did a lot of research and bought this book based on the totality of the reviews. It is FANTASTIC. Even if you've never held a tool, you can use this book to build a safe, sturdy treehouse. With the book in hand, I had confidence going to the lumber store, the hardware store, and anywhere else I needed to buy supplies. We got the foundation up in two hours and it was SOLID. After that, we were able to combine different parts of the designs in the book to easily make adjustments based on our tree and our personal preferences. And we did it all with a hammer, a hand saw, a level, and a t-square -- we didn't even have to buy any new tools! Our treehouse is a gathering place for the neighborhood kids, and it was easy and quick to do. The illustrations and intructions are absolutely impeccable. I highly recommend this book.

This is an amazing book for building your kids a tree house. We bought this book a full year before we knew we were going to be able to build our kids a tree house. We have spent many hours drooling over all the great ideas and using it as inspiration for our project. I love the drawings and explanations in this book...they are very detailed and use basic terminology. They even include graph paper you can copy over and over. Most of the examples they use are basic and highly adaptable.I love the fact that they included using elements of nature and ways to reuse everyday objects found around the house. Safety seems to be paramount for the authors as well as explaining why to do and not to do certain things. The back of the book includes many pictures of actual tree houses, which are great for inspiraton, as well as many extra ideas and signs that can be reproduced. Our project is just around the corner and this is our "bible" for it. I highly recommend this book and believe you will not be disappointed with the purchase.
