How To Build A Tree House
By Jason Taingahue
Do you have kids that love to play outside? Do they sometimes get bored when they play outside as well? Why don't you build them a tree house then? If you keep reading on I can show you how to build a tree house. Its stacks of fun for the kids and best of all it keeps them out of mischief for a little while
The first thing that we need to do when learning how to build a tree house is find a suitable tree. Any tree will do as long as there is a suitable enough space or a space that can be made to fit in a tree house.
Once you have found a suitable tree to build a tree house in the next step that we can take when learning how to build a tree house is to make a ladder that will be leading up to the actual tree house itself.
For the ladder when learning how to build a tree house you will need 2 pieces of rope and several pieces of wood that are suitable enough to act as steps for the ladder. Now take the 2 pieces of rope and lay then side by side and tie the bottoms in a knot on each side and then slide the step on the 2 ropes. You should have flat steps with holes on either side so that you can slide it onto the rope and the knots will act as a stopper so the step won't slide off. Tie another knot about 3-6 inches up and do the same with the next step and keep doing this until there is about 7-8 inches slack at the top of the rope and tie that around some strong branches so that you can climb up the rope to the tree house.
The next step when learning how to build a tree house is to get a base, the base can be an old strong piece of board that will act as a floor for the tree house. The base will vary in size depending on how big the tree house is going to be. To get the base up there get someone to stand at the top of the tree house ladder and tie the base to a piece of rope and send it up. Make sure that the base is nice and tight in the tree house and use a level to make sure it is flat too, use nails if you have to as well for stabilization.
When learning how to build a tree house we need sides as well and four of them, so send up four equal sides so that we have walls and make sure that you have some windows and doors cut out appropriately for the sides of the tree house as well and send them up and place them in the same way we did with the base.
Now the final step for learning how to build a tree house is to make a roof. For making a roof when learning how to build a tree house, there are many options. You can either use old branches or get a roof sent up like you did the base and sides and place it in the same way as well.
Well you have now learnt how to build a tree house; you can even teach your friends how to build a tree house if you want with this method too.
It's simple and easy to follow, so what are you waiting for, go and start building a tree house. And when you do build it, you can invite my kids around to play in your tree house that you just built. At least I wont have to build it and it will give me a break from them every now and then.
