    • Great info, perfect for anyone who wants a backyard treehouse
As someone who loves building things with my own hands, I appreciate how well Dan lays out the art and approach of building treehouses. As an engineer, I appreciate the way he has laid out the basics of loads and design, especially the way he has included some illustrations of why conventional framing approaches don't always work for treehouses. Most of the other books I've seen on the subject tend to get lost in the aesthetics, focusing on unattainable tree mansions. After reading through this book, I feel like I've got the knowledge I need to tackle my own backyard treehouse project. Highly recommended. ... show more

    • Solid book
I did like the book overall. It gave a pretty in depth view to basic treehouse building with solid pictures and basic set up. I think I was hoping for more. I've already built a treehouse I live in full time and I feel like the hardware recommended in this book is for hobby builders. Which is probably what 99% of readers are looking for. Overall I think its the best book available for diy treehouse building ... show more

    • Well written book with clear, practical advice
I just finished reading this book cover-to-cover, and it is fantastic. I am an avid do-it-yourselfer who writes for a living. This book is very well written with clear instructions and practical advice. I feel far better prepared to begin my treehouse project than I did before reading this book. I highly recommend it. ... show more

    • Fun book for your treehouse book collection
Fun book for your treehouse book collection. An enjoyable read with a goof collection of tips and photographs. No treehouse book so far has been a true stand alone book and this one ins not either. It is however a great addition!

Good, informative book.

    • A Ton of Information
I bought this book thinking it was going to be about building a treehouse for kids but there is way more information on here. The author definitely knows what he is talking about and does a good job explaining it all but I was looking for something a little more dumbed down. All the information needed is here but you definitely have to read through it all to find it. I would've given 5 stars but I feel it could've been organized a little better. ... show more
