practical and helpful!
Format: Kindle
I am impressed by the technical information. It gave me a lot of ideas. Thanks for writing a great resource!

Well written book with clear, practical advice
Format: Paperback
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

Solid book
Format: Paperback
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

Great info, perfect for anyone who wants a backyard treehouse
Format: Paperback
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

Fun book for your treehouse book collection
Format: Paperback
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 book!

Good, informative book.

Really basic
Format: Paperback
Not a book to buy if you have any building experience at all. Info is super basic, and anything treehouse-specific is just stuff you can look up online anyhow. If you have never built anything before and don't know how to frame a wall or distribute weight on a beam/joist system, go ahead and buy this book. If you already know how to do that kind of thing, it's a waste of money. ... show more
