Aurelivienne Treehouse Platform Kit

A treehouse platform kit — the beams, deck boards, brackets and guard-rail timber to build the raised deck that a treehouse sits on, the foundation of the whole project. Treated structural timber with the fixings (treehouse attachment bolts for a tree, or post brackets for a freestanding build) sized to a typical span; built by a competent builder, railed, and set over an impact-absorbing surface. Start the treehouse with a solid, safe platform.

• Includes: beams, deck boards, brackets, guard-rail timber
• Build: treated structural timber, TABs or post brackets
• Install: built by a competent builder, railed, 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.
