My treehouse

It took a mere platform I see a friend had put on a bush in her garden for me to say "yes! " It's so simple and the result is so interesting! "

From that moment I thought about building my treehouse. The children were still very young at the time, so no question of the hut to raise 10m from the ground. I made ​​a first floor in a few hours one afternoon. He takes a few deck boards recovered and dismantled, strong poles of acacia (Robinia or rather in Europe) we use in our campaign to fence posts, a level course because it important to be horizontal. A hammer and nails and having a platform from 4 branches already gives the impression of having a treehouse is entirely your own.

When we say tree house, you do not necessarily think to build a wooden house to stay in the trees. The concept shack is part of our childhood games but not only: it is also the idea of a shelter for all, as could imagine our ancestors in ancient times to protect from rain , wind and animals. I think we have kept this idea in the back of our minds.

But a tree house, it is mainly to be closer to nature, or rather be in the middle of nature in it. Our cabin is constructed as a dotted line, not as a solid line. The walls are very symbolic, nothing is really closed to allow us to live in the natural elements, smell the scents of leaves, watch the fox goes to dusk, ducks in the pond, and even deer in the spring that came out fiercely wood beside ...

A house in the trees, so that children play whole afternoon. To be proud to have made ​​the construction yourself, from wood planks and recovered a few hours of tinkering and tricks.

To be in one place to itself, we have made ​​yourself, and read a book in summer or swaying with the branches on windy days.
