This article will attempt to outline the basics that everyone should know before attempting any beginner or advanced level Tree House woodworking project. Hopefully this will make building your new treehouse or playhouse much easier for you and your loved ones.
The first thing to do before choosing your template or blueprint is to make a decision about where to build the Treehouse. Site selection will be an important part in choosing the design that can be built. Will there be adequate space for design choice? Does anyone know the types of trees to use, the best size or shape? Knowing such things can be a defining factor in which Tree House design one might choose. This brings us to the next topic of which treehouse plans are best for everyone involved.
When we have finally made an informed guess about the area to be used, we can choose the design or type that everyone is comfortable building with. After choosing the design, you can assess what equipment and the type of materials are needed to perform the task at hand. Some newbies or novices may be too scared to use certain power tools that could lead to a potential accident. Therefore, knowing the difficulty level of the project could also factor into design choices.
A good example of the difference between a pre-built and a DIY kit is when my friend bought his and I built our own. After my friend took two weekends to assemble the package, he realized that some crucial pieces were missing to finish the job. He then tried to return the kit only to discover that there were no more in storage and that his model was discontinued. Just to add fuel to the fire, he discovered that the maximum charge per child was very low. The one I built was easily customizable and could support my four children. These are another couple of points to keep in mind when learning how to build your own treehouse.
Finally, with all of these other steps done, the cost can be calculated and checked to see if it is within budget. Knowing what tools are needed and whether they are available or need to be purchased can also be a factor. What type of materials are going to be incorporated is another question in the price. But if someone were to compare the price difference between a store-bought pre-built playhouse package and a DIY one, they’d see that building your own is always cheaper, easier to customize, and more fun for the whole family.
