Aurelivienne Ladder & Handrail Kit

A fixed access ladder and handrail kit for a treehouse, a steady, safe way up and a rail to hold — the upgrade from a rope ladder for younger or more cautious children. Treated timber steps with a guard rail and the fixings; fixed by a competent builder to the platform and footed or braced at the bottom, over an impact-absorbing surface. The safe, everyday way up.

• Type: fixed treehouse access ladder + handrail
• Build: treated timber steps, guard rail, fixings
• Fit: fixed to the platform, footed/braced, over a soft surface

A treehouse is a raised structure built on or around a living, growing tree — plan it carefully. A tree-mounted treehouse must use proper treehouse attachment bolts that carry the load on a few strong fixings and allow the tree to move and grow, rather than many screws or straps that choke it; assess the tree's species, health and size for the load, ideally with an arborist, and build by a competent, experienced builder. Fit guard rails to any raised platform, keep to a sensible height, and set an impact-absorbing surface in the fall zone below. A freestanding treehouse on posts needs concrete footings. Keep to the stated occupancy and weight limits, supervise children, and inspect the tree, the fixings and the timber every year. A raised structure near a boundary or above a certain size can need planning permission — check your local rules. CE marked where applicable. The statutory 14-day right of withdrawal applies to consumers.
