Ever wonder where your childhood went? How many years have passed since you had no worries? When you were all younger, you loved to climb trees and build little shacks. Well, you can now re-live those moments with the latest adult tree houses.
If you are thinking of building your own, always be sure that you have capable materials available. Any tree you use must be sturdy and safe with thick branches that grow horizontally to the ground. The minimum amount of thick branches must be at least three. Only use older ones with deep roots and thick strong trunks. If you are not sure whether you are up to this kind of a job don't forget that there are professionals that are more than willing to help you out. Only the best at this kind of work with many years of experience should be hired.
Some structures are hung from trees or built onto them. Many are now been designed to actually grow from them or even built right into them. People either choose to live in them for the sake of luxury, while others in order to help save the environment. Those that live in the jungle areas, have no choice but to build high in the trees. There are many animals that are looking for a quick meal so they have adapted to protect themselves and their families.
Some builders like to blend the classic notions of simple wood structures with modernist angles and other design elements. Not everyone prefers to have a rustic look that is hard to see from the ground; others like to stand out where all can see them. Each specialist takes into consideration what his clients wishes are and will do their utmost to create it.
If you are interested in building your own, one must remember that it must be strong and safe. Take into consideration that the tree needs to keep growing and must be able to move in the wind. Look for different techniques and go through all the tutorials that you can find, so as to avoid costly mistakes.
People are even starting to think ahead. Why not grow one instead of building. A combination of using scaffolding and other materials can be used to help direct the growth over a period of years. Vines and roots will begin to make a flexible framework. The windows can be made out of a flexible soy membrane that will shift as this begins to grow.
Different positions in the tree can be utilized, whether it is at the bottom or in the middle. Many are made with modern angles and clean lines. These will stand out from the natural environment. Some spheres are even hung from trees and rock faces. Webbing and ropes anchor them to their position. These are waterproof and impact resistant. The internal frame is made from wood and the exterior from clear fibreglass.
The Alnwich Garden house is one of the largest built, at some 6,000 square feet. The interior has a complete restaurant with fireplace, rope bridges, play areas as well as a learning centre. The whole thing was build using only natural materials found in the area.
Just because you have grown up, it doesn't mean the end to your dreams. With all the knowledge of today's world, anything can be done. Adult tree houses are made so that one can leave the rat race behind, even if just for a few days and enjoy life again.
