I finished the basic structure of my simple tree house. The idea was to make something very straightforward and simple with 2 trees as a base.
In my first Steemit post, i explained how to do it in 3 basic steps and showed some pictures of the 1st step, https://steemit.com/life/@bubke/building-a-simple-tent-style-tree-house-step-1
Today, i am glad i can show you the result after completing steps 2 and 3.
For all clarity, i list the 3 steps again:
Choose 2 trees and connect them with 2 solid beams (6 by 2 inch)
Make 2 triangles out of lighter beams (3 by 2 inch)
Put the triangles on top of your solid beams, attach them to your trees if possible and connect them
==> You will have a basic tent-style treehouse structure.
As you can see in the picture, it is a rewarding little job. We sleep and eat there now and more naughty stuff (censored) :-)
I warned about not making it longer than 8 feet between the trees. I went up to 20 feet but i put 2 extra support beams in the middle, visible just in front of the structure. These beams now function as steps to climb up the treehouse.
To finalise it (not on the picture), I put a bit of plywood on the bottom so risc of falling out is a bit less and a bit of plywood on the top. For now, we just use some transparent plastic as a roof because it is much more fun when it is open and you can see the stars etc...
Take care
bub
I never saw a whole family have so much fun as u did making this!! Lovely idea if u have a couple of trees handy
Beautiful. I once lived in such a tree house. Best sleep I ever had, and the best view.. Said I'd never live in a normal house again...
We do sleep like babies in there which is kind of a miracle knowing that there are many snakes and other creepy animals around :-) It became a bit of a lookout post for other nighly animals also, we have barking deer, wild boar, indian gaur etc...
That sounds wonderful
Ooooh wow, really cool! And romantic!
Sounds like fun especially with the chance of seeing wild animals. What is a gaur?
Indian gaur is kind of bizon, biggest population is south india
Looking Great

STOPAmazing work mate, I build one similar (but looked much dodgier) when I was woofing in Tasmania, was great fun.
I like that you're a decentralized anarchist haha!
Thanks, nice to see that a post can still be read days after. Dodgy ones are the real thing :-)
