Building a treehouse with the kids this summer
So I've been planning this for months and finally got the materials delivered last week. My 6 and 8 year old are losing their minds with excitement. I'm thinking 8x8 platform about 12 feet up in our big oak tree. Has anyone here done this before? I'm pretty confident with carpentry but want to make sure the safety aspect is dialed in. Planning to use lag bolts into the trunk and proper bracing. Any gotchas I should know about?
Your kids are going to remember this forever. That's the kind of summer project that becomes a core memory. Just make sure it's actually safe before they spend extended time up there.
