Black & Decker® Build Your Kids a Treehouse!
12/18/2006
In years to come, kids’ fondest memories might be of the treetop retreat their parents created for them when they were young. Black & Decker® Build Your Kids a Treehouse! (Creative Publishing international/February 2007/$19.95 paperback) is the complete guide to designing, planning and building a sturdy, safe and fun treehouse structure for children.
Black & Decker® Build Your Kids a Treehouse! begins with an inspirational chapter showing the many treehouse variations that are possible. Next, a chapter on basic techniques shows how the essential treehouse platform can be built and secured in any tree configuration—nestled high among the branches or designed so the trunk passes up through the center, and every variation in-between.
Then, separate chapters show the techniques for adding walls, roofs, ladders, access hatches and accessories. The final chapter of Black & Decker® Build Your Kids a Treehouse! gives complete plans for the treehouses, from the very simple to the surprisingly sophisticated. Each plan is easy to build with ordinary tools and amateur carpentry skills.
Inside, Black & Decker® Build Your Kids a Treehouse!, readers will find:
- Complete planning & design information
- Information to adapt treehouses to different tree configurations
- Construction basics
- Complete treehouse plans
