TREEHOUSE TREE LAYOUT

When working with more than one trunk or branch get a line level and stretch a line at the elevation you want the treehouse at. Check out the side of the tree that beam will be attached to see if the tree is healthy at that elevation. This is something you will need to do so your platform has a good chance of coming out level. If the branches that you are going to attach too, lean out like on this tree, it is best to attach to the side or inside of the branch and not the outside. Sometimes it may be helpful to layout your beams and joists on the ground first to see exactly what elevations you put your brackets at.  Seldom do a group of trees or branches grow in rectangular shape. These four trees are not perfectly plum. To get true measurements you must measure at the elevation you are going to put the platform at.

We highly recommend that you call our Office if you are not experienced in buying parts for your TREEhouse Build Project.  Its ALWAYS better to get it right the first time!

Start by assigning a letter to each tree and getting the circumference at elevation of desired platform.

Measurements should be made from the same inside point on each tree as shown in figure #4.

Start laying measurements on paper by stating with 2 points. (Figure #1) AB-13ft.

Then get a compass and start marking your other measurements so you can triangulate your exact

location of the other trees to your first two. (Figure #2) AC-8ft, AD-11FT, BC-12ft, BD-7FT.

If your measurements are correct your CD measurement on paper 6FT, should match what you measured in the field (figure #3).

Draw in your trees using the diameters you got from the circumference of the trees. Diameter = Circumference /divided by Pi 3.14

The most amazing place to be! Treehouse living, Zipline excursions settled in the mountains of Oregon! Peaceful and fun place to be! The breakfast cook (Willie) has the most amazing recipes and formulas for pastries, rolls, and breads! The banana, peach coconut cobbler, lemon rolls, frittata and more is wonderful! What more can I say! Fantastic place to be!

My girl Natasha and I stayed here two years ago on Valentine’s Day and absolutely loved it especially at this time of year. Today is Carson‘s 18th birthday and this is what he wanted to do because he heard all about our trip and he invited his girl Robin and they’re staying in the Peacock Perch treehouse. It’s a great unique Airbnb and they will have a wonderful time. They will make wonderful memories they will always look back on and treasure

Great place to relieve your child-like mind and explore. Also a great romantic place for partners. If you go in winter you’ll have the whole place to yourself. Remember to bundle up and hike to the back of the property to explore all its hidden treasures!!

What an amazing place to stay! Beautiful craftsmanship, tree houses are amazing! On site horseback ride was great and zip lining was great. All equipment was well maintained and horses were obviously well cared for. I will be going back for sure!
