A Step-by-Step Guide to Building an Amazing Treetop Retreat John Harris - All books by this author Here’s a book for romantics—but with a practical flair! This beautifully illustrated volume guides readers through all stages of planning and constructing a treehouse. They’ll find plans for several different treehouse styles, from a simple but attractive rustic shelter to an arboreal dwelling featuring modern creature comforts such as electricity and cooking facilities. The author describes all necessary tools, equipment, and materials, and discusses the type of tree most suitable for each of his designs. Readers are guided through construction of the platform or foundation, frame, ladders, windows, and doors. They also learn the more complex aspects of construction, such as roofing, staircases, and connecting electricity for lighting and heating. The finished result can range from an idyllic playroom for children to a handsomely furnished space for adult leisure hours or even business conferences. More than 350 handsome color photos show every aspect of treehouse construction. From the reviews: “…awe-inspiring to browse through, as it features breathtaking photos of amazing tree houses…” —Publisher’s Weekly, December 20, 2004 “Treehouse of Your Own by John Harris is a fantastic book for the would-be treehouse builder. The book includes color photographs and step-by-step instructions about how to build some of the fantastic elevated creations in his book. … Admittedly, some of the projects require more than basic skills, but Harris provides all the motivation and explicit guidelines so even beginners can build a house in the trees.” —Daily News, Bogalusa, LA, May 5, 2005 About The Author: John Harris is a prize-winning treehouse builder, a medal winner at London’s famous Chelsea Flower Show, the author of a previously published book on treehouse construction, and the founder of The TreeHouse Company, a treehouse design and building company.
