How to Build Treehouses, Huts and Forts

This book provides lots of helpful information and I look forward to using that information in the future.

This educator & now novelist, as an adventure-lovin' boy, lived in the country and LOVED building forts, huts and especially TREEHOUSES! When I discovered this paperbound booklet of drawings, in color, I beat a path to Amazon to order it, YES! It sits proudly out front on one of my special shelves, in case I get a hankering to browse thru it over and over, now, as one of those adults!!! BUT, WAIT....this Yogi Bare, deep inside, IS proud of being a "secret treehouse boy." Never losing my sense of adventure and imagination!!!

My kids are desparate for a tree house or fort in the back yard. After pricing commercially available options, I decided that I could build one for a fraction of what a Play Nation solution would cost. So, I started looking for plans. I saw these Stiles publications (Treehouses and other Cool Stuff and Tree Houses, Huts and Forts.)at Amazon, and thought they looked promising.Well, "promising" just about describes it. There plan for Fort Bravo in this book fits the bill for my kids, and these come with material lists, but the detail - especially for building the roof - is simply inadequate. I've never built a house, so am unfamiliar with construction techniques for building a roof. Additional research will be required to build either fort.

Great book. Lots of neat ideas! I wish it had more treehouses and treehouse info, but whatever. It’s still good! Now if I just had a tree I could build in...

nice book, but too technical for anyone but an adult.

Interesting

Bought this book for a Christmas gift for a child that has a dream of building a tree house. Nice book and easy for him to understand and relate to for the age of 10-12

We have used this book time and again! The illustrations are wonderful and the details are very workable. The plans are very interesting and full of great information and suggestions. I am genuinely thankful for this book!
