tree is very important to choose the right tree, because it affects the strength and reliability of the house, as well as the safety of the child.You can not select the old trees with hollows and large voids inside, with lots of dry branches, with open back.Too young and immature trees is also not suitable for such purposes.

Tree house

Treehouse

not recommended to build a house on the branches of a willow, poplar or birch.Best option - it's apple, maple or ash tree with a trunk diameter of about 30 cm, with a strong root system, and the lack of a healthy bark parasites.It is advisable to choose a tree with a straight trunk, so it will be easier to mount and secure the base.

Preparations

selecting a tree, you need to properly prepare it.The fine dense growth on the lower branches and the trunk, you can safely remove the shears, but the medium-sized branches should be cut wisely.Illiterate cropping may detrimental impact on the tree and it withered.To avoid this, you can leave all the big branches and mount the base to house around them.

for construction need tools:

  • hacksaw or a circular saw;
  • hammer;
  • plane;
  • drill;
  • screwdriver;
  • roulette;
  • building level;
  • sandpaper.

will also need materials:

  • Edged board section 5h25 and 2,5h15 cm;
  • timber 150x150 cm;
  • support beams 20 cm in diameter;
  • galvanized screws;
  • nails;
  • metal mounting plate;
  • antiseptic impregnation of wood;
  • grease or oil mining.

Before working boards and beams necessarily treated impregnated and dried in the sun.This will prolong the operation of the house, protect wood surfaces from moisture and rotting.supporting beams length should be at 1-1.5 m longer than the distance from the ground to the base lodge.Beams need to dig in the ground, so after treatment with antiseptic lower part of each beam coated with a dense layer of grease, bituminous mastics or impregnated with oil mining.

first Stage - installation of supports

Carefully vymeryat distance between the main branches and define the location for the home platform.Projected base angles and note down these points beacons.With the help of the drill holes are prepared under the girders;hole depth not less than 1.2 m, the diameter is equal to 25-30 cm. At the bottom layer of poured sand 10 cm, then a layer of gravel.Lower the beam to the pit, put on a level and temporarily strengthen cinder blocks or struts of lumber.

A pit cemented themselves

And do pit cemented

All beams should be the same height and stand vertically.This tree trunk may be present between the support pillars or to act as one of the pillars.Kneaded mortar, pour it between the walls of the pit and the post, left to dry.When the base is hardened enough spacers removed.

Step Two - Installation of the platform

When the cement hardens , it is possible to make the platform

When the cement hardens, it is possible to produce a platform

to take the frame platform board, cut it to length.If the platform will be based on all the corners of the pillars surrounding the tree trunk bearing frame rails are fixed on the base perimeter.For this purpose each timber is raised to the floor level, horizontally aligned and fasten to both ends of the inner surface of the pillars.The resulting tying reinforcing the corners of the metal plates.

Mounting platform

Installation

platform further inside the carcass stuffed with additional boards, placing them parallel to each other at a distance of 20-30 cm. There, where the tree trunk, leaves a hole of appropriate size.Bottom frame inciting two cross boards, placing them on either side of the trunk.All compounds within the carcass reinforcing metal plates with bolts.

If one of the pillars is the tree, the platform is mounted differently.Bruce lifted to the ground level of the house and bolted to the two ends of the poles, and in the middle nailed to the trunk of the tree.Then similarly attached to the other timber.Both beams must be placed strictly horizontally.Thereafter stuffed other top rails perpendicularly lower increments of 0.5 m. Of course, all the platform elements are joined by bolts with steel plates.

third option mounting - without mounting pillars.If the platform is mounted exclusively on wood, 2 lumber nailed to the trunk at 30 cm below the level of the floor on both sides.Then, on top of the rest of the boards are laid perpendicular to the pitch of 50-70 cm, and connect them with the ends of planks.Should get a rectangular structure lying in a horizontal plane.Now install additional spacers: take the bars of the same section and attach them at an angle to the platform abutting one end in the extreme beams frame, and the lower end is connected to the trunk of the tree.

Step three - floor laying

Laying the floor

Floor Laying

to take the floor edged polished high quality board.Carefully check the timber on the absence of rough edges and knots, conduct additional grinding if necessary.Slice the boards on the floor size and laid out on the ground to mark.This is necessary to accurately cut holes branches and trunk of the tree, because the top gently to make cuts will not work.

Floor Laying

So spread the board into a rectangle, leaving a gap of 1-2 cm, measure the circumference of the barrel, and mark out the boundaries of the recess on the future of the house floor.Use the jigsaw cut the proper diameter holes and try on a tree.Gender should not be directly adjacent to the cortex, or with the growth of the tree house design will deform.If the blank corresponds to the drawings, can be mounted on the platform floor.

boards are placed on the frame as well as on the ground, at intervals of a few centimeters.These gaps are designed to drain rainwater.Krepjat floor using screws or nails.Ready flooring should lie in a horizontal plane, not squeak, do not falter under loads.

Step Four - The wall mounting

Installation of walls house

Installation of walls

first house on the perimeter of the platform you want to install a solid frame made of beams.Here you can take a timber of smaller cross-section, for example, 50x50 mm.Bruce cut the height of the walls and installed at each corner of the base, screwing to the support beams projecting anchor bolts.Intermediate strut mounted at a distance of 40-50 cm from the arc and fixed with their outer side of the base frame.You can not attach the rack directly to the floor, so the connection is reliable.

Corner and intermediate racks strengthened struts and then cased boards.The walls can be solid or latticed, it all depends on the preferences of the master.The number and shape of the windows, and their location is also selected as desired.The main thing that the openings were protected and the child can not fall out of the house.

in the roof, as well as in the floor, cut the holes for the large branches, unless otherwise set design does not work.Again, attach the roof covering can not be close to a tree, be sure to leave a small space around the cutout.

Step Six - setting stairs

Stairs to the house can be a rope, straight wood, light lattice, long or short, flat and steep.The options are so many, and choose the right is not difficult.One of these options - staircase in the shape of a shield with the slots.To begin taking timber 50x50 mm length 2.5 m and puts it to the bottom of the house at an angle of 75-80 degrees, i.e., almost vertically.Celebrating pencil cutting line and saw off the excess.Similarly, the second timber is cut.

Stacked rails on flat ground, on top of packed boards with a thickness of 2 cm. The width of the board is 15 cm, length of 50-70 cm. In each blank oval hole cut to the width of the foot and cuts treated sandpaper.The notch should be located on one side, at a distance of 5 cm from the end of the board.When plating blank board nailed so that the notches alternated: the first board with the notch on the right, the second - with a cut on the left, and so on until the end.
