Tree House Making Process

in #homesteading7 years ago

Hay steemian friend, come back with me @Sabatini in today's post. And dipostingan this time I will share about the making of a tree house, may already be familiar about this tree house.

Almost every child considers a tree house as a hiding place, fortress, or a playground that has magical appeal. The tree house is also a fun project for adults. Building a tree house requires careful planning and construction, but commensurate with the outcome. If you take care and care for your dream home home properly, you will have a "wooden house of protection" that can be enjoyed for a long time.

Choose the right tree.

  The health of trees is crucial to building the foundation of a tree house. Trees that are too old or young will not qualify as tree houses; and whoever goes in there will be very risky. Trees must be sturdy, mature, and still alive. The ideal tree for a tree house includes oak, maple, fir, and apple. You should ask a tree expert to inspect your tree before starting to build. An ideal tree has the following qualities:

-Stems and branches are sturdy and strong.

-The roots are deep and strong.

-No sign of parasites or diseases that can weaken the tree.

After choosing a healthy tree, you can start thinking of a suitable home design; or you can take the opposite step of thinking of the design first choose the appropriate tree. Here are some things to think about when choosing a tree:

-For a standard tree house 20x20 cm, select a tree with a trunk of at least 30 cm in diameter.

-To calculate the diameter of a tree, calculate the circumference by wrapping a string or ribbon on the stem at the point where you want the tree house to stand. Divide with pi (3.14) to get the diameter.

Choose a tree house design. 

It is important to have a ripe tree house design before starting to plug in the first nail. You can search for tree house designs on the internet, or if you have knowledge of buildings, create your own designs. You need to make an accurate calculation to make sure your design matches the selected tree.

Creating a small tree house model of cardboard / carton will help to see the problems that will arise.

In creating the design, do not forget the growth of the tree. Give enough space for tree trunks to grow. It's worth researching the species of a tree to determine its growth rate.

Determine the buffer. 

There are many ways to support a tree house. Either way, it is important to remember that tree houses move in the wind. The sliding or right bracket is important to ensure the tree house is not damaged by the wind. Here are three main buffer ways for tree houses:

Using a buffer. In this option, the buffer poles will be buried in the ground near the tree, rather than attaching them to the tree. This has the least destructive effect on the tree.

Using the lock. In this option, the buffer beam or floor base will be locked directly to the tree. This is the most traditional way, but the most damaging impact on the tree. You can minimize damage using the right materials.

Using suspension. In this way, tree houses in strong and high branches will be retained using cables, ropes, or chains. This method can not be used on all designs, and is not ideal for tree houses intended to bear heavy loads.

Specify login access. 

Before building a tree house, you must specify access to entry, such as a ladder, which allows people to enter the tree house. The way you should be safe and sturdy, so forget the old way of using boards nailed to tree trunks. Here are more secure login options:

Standard ladder. You can buy or make a regular ladder to climb up to the tree house. Stairs on the sleeping bench or level bed are also allowed.

Rope ladder. This is a ladder made of ropes and short boards, hung from the base of the tree house.

Staircase. The small house staircase is the safest way of access, if it matches your shadow of a tree house. If you choose this way, make sure you build handrails for safety.

Find out what you're going to do on the branch that's bothering the tree house. 

How do you build when there are disruptive branches? Will you cut it or incorporate it in a tree house plan? If combined, will you build a tree house around the branch or frame it in a window? Find solutions to these "before" builds. That way, your tree house will reflect the concern and readiness of the creator.

How's a friend? very easy way to make a tree house, do you guys want to make a tree house too?

If anyone wants to make a tree house you can follow the way like my post above, hopefully you like this post.

Good luck and thank you
