Depending of the size of the treehouse, and the height off of the ground, we'll use different brackets or cables to attach the treehouse to the #TAB. Here we had a large single tree design that required these custom cup brackets. #fabrication #treehousebuilder #treehousebuildingbooks #treehouse #canopycrew #redrivergorge #treehousevillage

Like most things, when building #Treehouse's, common sense is key. #treehousebuildingbooks #theperfecttreehouse #treehousebuilders #treehouse #canopycrew

The second step is to install a treehouse attachment bolt. These bolts are specially designed to carry a massive load, have minimal Impact on the vascular layer of the tree, and allow the trees to move. My book The PerfectTreehouse goes into the installation process in great detail! #canopycrew #treehousebuildingbooks #treehouse #treehousebuilders #TAB

People ask a lot about the foundation of of a #treehouse. The first step is to find level. We use a water level which is an ancient but accurate method. You just fill a tube with water and hold it up to the tree. Once the tops of the water settles on both trees you know you have found level. Read more about it in my book, The Perfect Treehouse. #canopycrew #treehousebuildingbooks #waterlevel #treehousebuilders
