For a lot of children playing in a tree house is a part of growing up. It tends to be exciting and a fun place to mess about and camp in. As adults there is always the fear that children could potentially hurt themselves. However if you design it properly you can ensure that children have fun and their custom tree houses are a fun and safe place to play around in.
Before you begin work you need to check local planning permission and regulations. It may sound strange but there are varying views on this. Some local areas consider it to be an additional structure and therefore you are required by law to get the relevant permission before you can build it.
Having a different style will make it stand out. For example you may want to do it in the style of something from their favourite story or cartoon. The thought of hanging out in a base in the style of their favourite superhero or a hang out with their favourite cartoon character will be very appealing for them.
Some people debate whether or not you can call something a tree house if it has any point on the ground. Some people argue if you have to include supporting posts then it is not really something that fits the name. However if you want to keep your children safe and a support structure is necessary then you should do this.
The good thing about your own design is that there are less restrictions. You do not need to worry about whether or not it perfectly fits together. There is also the chance to add little extras that can make it more fun for the kids while they use it. For example you could include pulley systems that allow you to wheel up supplies if they are camping out.
When you are building you need to remember who you are building for. This may seem obvious but it is easy to forget that you are not building something for you but something for children to fit into. Therefore you should check the height of your children and keep everything in their proportions.
In terms of design you can add a number of things to keep it interesting. Having more than one entrance and exit often adds to the excitement, especially if you can include hidden entrances and exits. Pulleys and other additions that they can play around with also adds to the fun. Remember when designing whether or not this is purely going to be an area to play in or whether or not you want room for them to bring in sleeping bags to camp out inside.
Finally when making custom tree houses you need to check whether or not you need planning permission. This may sound strange but in some local areas this is a legal issue whereas with others it is a grey area and they may not care about having a tree house in your garden. However it is vital to check this before you begin building it so you do not unintentionally get into trouble.
