Description

A treehouse is a superb idea, but how in the name of creation do you in fact build one? In this delightfully illustrated handbook, David Stiles, the unofficial world grandmaster of the treehouse, shows how.

Not assuming anything about the treehouse builder, Stiles starts with the basics: how you can nail, how to shop for wood, what sort of screws and nails to make use of.

Then it is on to an A-frame design so simple that it may be built in a weekend out of four sheets of plywood, followed by lean-tos, a tree hut, and a Tarzan-style jungle hideaway. There are also forts of each description, including a 21-foot-tall lookout tower modeled on one George Washington built to control the redcoats.

Stiles also adds a design for a snowball catapult, an igloo and even a Nerf-loaded cannon.

Written for children, with an adult peeking over their shoulder, Stiles’s TREEHOUSES, HUTS, & FORTS is a dreamer’s handbook, offering practical results.
