Tree House from the past/ old fort style


With spring on the way I'm excited to finish our tree house, so I decided to dig up some old archive tree house photos. This was a tree house I designed a number of years ago.  It features two platforms, a roof, slide, a step ladder and my favorite the wooden rope bridge.  We used straight timber logs with the bark still on them and it wasn't too hard to build (of course I was only there for the start of the construction).  If you don't have good tree house trees, build your tree house around the trees or plant trees near the structure.

Young entrepreneurs turn garbage into green - ksl.com

Here is some interesting news about a Utah business called Ecoscraps that takes food waste from restaurants and makes compost fertilizer for gardens to be sold at nurseries.  I'm sure places like Chuckarama make a lot of fertilizer.
