The last time you were thinking of expanding your living space were you looking at a tree.Well, you probably were not; however, you may want to consider it.

There are no limits to the complexity of a tree house.A tree house can have all the amenities of a home on a foundation.It would just be in a tree.

To begin building your dream tree house you must built it on a solid foundation.The best or idea scenario for building a structural sound tree house is having:

Four trees evenly spaced with each tree supporting a corner of the structure.You could also have three or even two trees, but four trees is the best scenario.
It is best to use bolts and steel hangars when securing the floating point of load to the tree.It is recommended to space the bolts eighteen inches apart to even out the load.
