The following are just some of the things to consider when building a treehouse.

Where to Build a Treehouse. The first step is finding a sturdy tree that can handle the treehouse construction. Ideally, there’s a hardwood tree on your property that is old enough so its branches are at least eight inches in diameter. If you only have softwood trees, the branches will need to be bigger to ensure that they can handle the treehouse load. Ideal species of trees include maple, fir, oak, beech, and hemlock.

Weight and Stability. Despite the treehouse plans you may have in mind, there are a few practical structure designs that are necessary to include your platform should be as close to the tree trunk as possible. You want to make sure the treehouse platform is adequately braced. Ideally, you should add diagonal bracing to account for any uneven loads. Keep the treehouse load centered over the base of the tree. If you put it only on one side, it won’t be stable. If you are planning on building a large treehouse, try to spread the construction across multiple trees instead of just one. If you live in an area with high winds, keep the treehouse to the lower third of the tree to prevent uprooting in a storm. If you’re building on one trunk, do your best to keep the main platform level.

Don’t Restrict Tree Growth. Leave some gaps around the tree to allow for tree growth, especially around the branches and trunks that come into the treehouse. A good rule of thumb is two inches if the tree passes through the floor, and three inches if it passes through the roof. Avoid using anything that constricts the branches such as rope, straps, or wire as you risk strangling the tree. Include spacers between the beams and the tree to account for any movement.
