Overview

Build Your Own Fantasy Tree house combines a child’s imagination and sense of adventure with an adult’s practical ability to turn dreams into reality. Sculptor David Parfitt offers inspirational ideas for 12 unique tree houses, and then shows you how to select a suitable tree, prepare the materials, build your structure, and finally apply the appropriate props and dressing to make your vision complete.

Instructions are given for building six different types of platforms, each of which is developed into two themed tree houses. Whether you wish to construct a simple structure around a single trunk, a tree house that spans several limbs, or even a swinging platform suspended between two trees, you will find brilliant ideas and sensible advice. There are photographs showing the construction stages of each tree house, and a beautiful shot of each finished work. The author provides working drawings and cutting plans, or you can use the ideas to develop your own unique creation. Whether you want to build a tree house for your children or to construct your own leafy hideaway, this book offers all the inspiration and instruction you could possibly need.
