Aurelivienne Freestanding Treehouse

A freestanding treehouse on posts — a real raised house with walls, a window, a door and a pitched roof that gives the treehouse experience without needing a suitable tree, standing on its own concrete-footed posts. Treated timber with a railed platform and a ladder; built by a competent builder on concrete footings, over an impact-absorbing surface, within the occupancy limit and inspected yearly. A treehouse for any garden, tree or not.

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.
