One of the good things about a bad economy is the creation of small businesses that encompass a lot of different industries. One of these, of course, is specialty construction. Many people have expressed an interest in treehouses for adults and a growing number of them have hired these companies to come and do the work.
No two tree houses are the same because no two trees are exactly the same. Each home must be built for the owner and the tree it sits in. Every owner or occupant of a tree house will have their own expectations and they must all be considered and acted upon if the entire enterprise is to be successful.
Shape is important. When you built that first tree house, as a kid, a platform was all you needed. It got you off the ground and safe from the pirates or wild animals you imagined were after you and your friends. Now, the design you have in mind will have to have a few walls, possibly a ceiling and comfort elements, such as furniture and rudimentary cooking and sanitary facilities.
Many people have simply built the same platform you did, as a child, and enclosed it with light material and allowed the tree foliage to prevent rain from getting in. Others try to create a ground house and simply lift it into place, using bolts as necessary to attach it to the tree.
The very special options you have when building a tree house makes the shape and the method you use to get it up there very important. You must use the imagination you have and that of those professionals you can hire to create a space that blends into the natural surroundings yet is all you. That is your challenge and something that belongs on the ground does not belong above it.
The amount of space for things is greatly exaggerated in a ground house. You will be quite surprised to see that a branch, growing in through a wall, can hold a table top and other limbs can have seating attached to them for relaxing and eating at that same table. Looking into all of the things you think you need will reduce that number to a manageable level.
The electrical service you need can be handled by a licensed electrician. A simple 110 volt system is all you will need unless you plan to have a full size oven and or dryer. The largest flat screen television will probably be out of the question but a radio and or home entertainment center, while cut back, will be easier to handle. Many of these building experts will be able to give you a measure of fresh water supplies and waste water drainage as well.
Take advantage of the growing interest in adult tree houses and get thinking about what you want and where you are going to put it. Hire the right company, based on their previous work which they will be proud to show you and get your head above the rest, as they say. Your imagination is the catalyst and their experience will enhance the project so you will have the home you want and be the envy of your neighborhood.
