Treehouses You
Can Actually Build
David R Stiles,
Jeanie Stiles, 1998
Tree houses capture the imagination of the child in all of us,
and they have never been more popular than they are today. This
inspirational yet thoroughly practical guide shows even the most
inexperienced weekend carpenter how to design and build a lifetime of
memories for the entire family. With more than 200,000 copies of their
popular Weekend Project Books sold, David and Jeanie Stiles have become
America's First Couple of do-it-yourself woodworking. In Tree Houses You
Can Actually Build, they explain basic building procedures through
clear, simple instructions and non-technical line drawings that
illustrate every step of the project, from the earliest sketches to the
final cedar shingle. The authors outline five basic designs that can be
adapted to virtually any set of conditions, and throughout the book,
they emphasize safety for both adults and children. In addition to line
drawings, the book contains a section of full-color photographs
highlighting a variety of tree house projects, plus helpful building
tips based on interviews with their owners.
David Stiles, a recipient of the ALA's Notable Children's Book Award, is
a designer/ builder and illustrator who has written ten books. His
playground designs have won two awards from the New York City Planning
Commission. Jeanie Stiles has co-authored six books with her husband.

Treehouses: The Art and Craft of Living
out on a Limb
by Peter Nelson
Treehouses lift the spirits. They inspire
dreams. They represent freedom: from adults or adulthood, from duties
and responsibilities, from an earthbound perspective. If we can't fly
with the birds, at least we can nest with them. With lively writing and
beautiful photographs, Treehouses paints a fascinating portrait of this
ingenious branch of architecture. It provides a brief history of
treehouses, from Caligula through the Medici to Queen Victoria. It shows
how to design and build a treehouse, from picking the right tree to
shingling the roof. And it tells the stories of dozens of treehouses and
the people who built them, from simple platforms nailed together by kids
to arboreal palaces constructed and lived in by grown-ups. The
centerpiece of the book is a photo essay showing Pete Nelson building a
spectacular octagonal treehouse thirty feet up an old-growth fir on
Saltspring Island in British Columbia. With two hundred square feet of
floor space, cedar paneling, and leaded French doors, the Saltspring
treehouse is one of the finest specimens of the treehouse builder's art.
Anyone who has ever built a treehouse, or dreamed of it, or read Swiss
Family Robinson, will find Treehouses irresistible.
Larkin is the editor-designer of the best-selling Barn and Shaker and
the author of Farm, among many other books published here and abroad. He
currently lives in Cherry Plain, New York. Peter Nelson is a builder of
custom houses, both treehouses and ground houses, in Seattle,
Washington. |

the treehouse
book
By Peter Nelson, Judy Nelson, David Larkin
It seems that almost everyone likes treehouses. Smiles of recognition
turn into grins of enthusiasm as more people discover them and dream
about making their own private retreats or family play spaces. And it's
nice to remind ourselves that treehouses are built into the oldest and
most forgiving, living things on earth. Also, history records treehouses
as being built as deliberate follies, as challenges for arboreal
designers, for merrymaking, and for keeping the spirit of fairy tales
alive. But treehouses can also be social places. We will visit many that
were built to entertain, to hang out with friends, or as guest houses.
Trees welcome all types.
Detailed how-to information, including plans and drawings, is woven with
behind-the-scenes tales of each structure's occupants and stunning
interior and exterior photographic explorations. |
