Course programme

In this course you will be given a creative insight into how to build extraordinary treehouses. It covers the technology and principles needed to design a treehouse that meets your needs, along with ideas and practical skills that will enable you to build your own treehouse. You will also be given ways to approach most of the situations that you are likely to meet in a planning a treehouse and inventive ways of solving the problems associated with this fascinating activity.

During this course I will give you all the information that you will need to make a basic treehouse, one that will be adaptable enough for your tree to make its own, and for you to elaborate on to make a glorious treehouse. I will also offer suggestions on creative ways of customising your structure. We will cover design considerations, making platforms for the three basic types of tree, materials and fastenings and safety issues.
