The Process
Design Stage
Let's get your vision for a custom play structure down on paper.
Consultation
1 Day
This is the initial stage of the design process where the client meets with the design team to discuss their vision and ideas for their treehouse. During this stage, the team gathers information about the site, the tree(s) selected for the project, and the client's needs, preferences, and budget.
Concept Design
2 Weeks
The design team develops a concept design that includes sketches, drawings, and 3D models. The concept design outlines the general layout, size, shape, and style of the treehouse, as well as any special features or requests from the client.
Detailed Design
2 - 4 Weeks
Once the concept design is approved by the client, the design team works on developing the detailed design. This involves creating detailed drawings and plans that outline the structural details, building materials, and other technical aspects of the treehouse.
Build Stage
Let's turn your vision into reality.
Treehouse Support
2 Days
Treehouse Attachment Bolts (TABs) are a the primary method for attaching treehouses to trees. TABs are engineered to provide a strong and secure connection between the treehouse and the tree, without causing harm to the tree, and allowing for tree movement while providing vertical support. Properly installed TABs provide a safe and durable attachment point for a treehouse, allowing for years of enjoyment and adventure. Post supports can be added to support additional geometries.
Platform Framing
3 Days
Building a platform frame in a tree is an essential part of constructing a treehouse. The deck frame provides the base and support for the treehouse. Building in a tree requires careful planning and execution to ensure it is sturdy, level, and safe for use. The frame should be designed to fit the unique shape and contours of the tree trunk and branches. The frame must also be designed to accommodate any special features or requests from the client, such as multiple levels or custom shapes.
Details and Finish work
2-4 weeks
The structure of the treehouse includes the walls, roof, windows, and doors, and will be tailored to the client's vision. Finish work includes the aesthetic and functional details of the treehouse, such as siding choice, painting or staining, and play elements. The finish work will be tailored to the client's preferences and style, and should complement the natural environment around the treehouse.
