Editorial Reviews:

Tree houses capture the imagination of the child in all of us, and they have never been more popular than they are today. This inspirational yet thoroughly practical guide shows even the most inexperienced weekend carpenter how to design and build a lifetime of memories for the entire family. With more than 200,000 copies of their popular Weekend Project Books sold, David and Jeanie Stiles have become America's First Couple of do-it-yourself woodworking. In Tree Houses You Can Actually Build, they explain basic building procedures through clear, simple instructions and non-technical line drawings that illustrate every step of the project, from the earliest sketches to the final cedar shingle. The authors outline five basic designs that can be adapted to virtually any set of conditions, and throughout the book, they emphasize safety for both adults and children. In addition to line drawings, the book contains a section of full-color photographs highlighting a variety of tree house projects, plus helpful building tips based on interviews with their owners.

User Comments about the Tree Houses You Can Actually Build: A Weekend Project Book (Stiles, David R. Weekend Project Book Series.)

The title says it all. spelled out nice and easy for me, the non-builder, to build. i actually am going to build one of these.

The basic drawings, pictures, and instructions in the book provided this amateur with the necessary guidance to erect something that was not only FUNctional, but also safe enough for my kids to play on. My kids and I had a blast building our tree house. It's a memory we'll hang onto forever. ;-)If you're looking to build a tree house, and you're not a master carpenter, I recommend this book. And I'm guessing the tree house will last nearly as long as the memories.Relying heavily upon this book, we designed and built an extremely sturdy and FUN tree house.

Works for kids, works for adults, very clear and very helpful. Very graphics oriented and the sketches make the text very clear.Unfortunately does not even mention escalating tree houses beyond the backyard project - if this were a full-revalation book, you would see the new engineering miracle, the Garnier Limb.We were quite pleased - PS we are hard graders, hardly anything gets a 5.

I think you have to be a master carpenter to actually do any of them in a week-end but the detail is pretty good.odd thing is, I bought this book and already had it at home. I must have really liked it.

Color pictures of some fantastic tree house ideas. Can't wait to start one of these ideas. No limits on imagination here. One caution: Don't let the kids see it first.
