Tree houses aren't just for kids anymore

  • Mood: enventive
  • Music: mystical

New trends in tree house construction brings tree houses to new hieghts.  Now more and more adults are building and living in tree houses all across the globe.  More people are wanting tog et back to nature are doing it in a new fashion.

Living among the trees at tree top level is the lates trend across the globe.  These tree houses are not just for childern.  they have modern ammenities like a normal house.  Everthing from electricity, runing water, functioning bathrooms, to state-of0the0art solar pannels, wind generators, and water management systems.

There are several companies now xclusively constructing these tree houses for adualts.  Childeren have now lost the domination over tree houses.  With the adult invassion of this tree house market woodland and forest now have a new life.

Some tree houses even include elevators for haulling large quantities of materails.  These live in tree houses can be very simple to the very ornate.  They are also simple to construct if you follow a few simple rules.  first and most important is never attch any part of the tree house to the trunk of the tree.  Always build around the trunk and branches.  Otherwise as the tree grows the tree house could become unstable and collapse. Second rule is: always use more than one tree for support.  Use three to six trees of equal hieght and age.  This allows a uniform look as the trees grow and the tree house will last for a very long time.  Third rule is: Build around tree trunks and braches.  They will add structural support and Architecual style to your tree house.  Always use large posts for extra support.  You can even use trunk skirt support which is not bolted into the trunk.  It is actually wraped around the trunk tightly to add support. There are several magazine articles out there on this subject.  several web sites too.
