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.

Details: Although we haven't begun our treehouse yet, this book gives us the knowledge of what we need to plan everything out. From tools to wood to what kind of trees to build around, this book is very useful. It makes the "Thought " of building into a reality we look forward to constructing. Although the book was ordered before Christmas, ( and Amazon said it would not get here by then), it arrived the first day after! Nice surprise.
Review Summary: Satifaction guaranteed!

Details: If you're looking for something to build that's simple and a no brainer, or interested in building a project more than just for the kids, this book has what you're looking for. Easy to read and comprehend and has very good visual aides. For an amateur in the knowledge of tree house construction I'm more than satisfied in purchasing this book.
Review Summary: Excellent for the Basics

Details: Not being a builder, this gave great ideas for basic approaches towards building a tree house... Everyone's will be different, but this gets you off on the right start... Highly recommended... Not given 5 stars, because the 5-6 ideas are either really basic or quite complex... I started with one of the really basic ones and added on some ideas of my own once the project was under way...
Review Summary: My grandchildren love it!
