Aurelivienne Premium Treehouse

Our flagship: a premium treehouse — a large house up in or around the tree with a covered veranda, a proper door and windows, a slide and a rope access as well as a ladder, and a built-in den, the centrepiece of a garden childhood. Heavy treated timber carried on load-bearing treehouse attachment bolts (or concrete-footed posts for a freestanding build) with full guard rails throughout; ships on pallets, the tree assessed by an arborist and the house built by a competent, experienced builder over a generous impact-absorbing surface, within the occupancy limit and inspected each year. A raised structure this size may need planning permission — check first. The treehouse children never forget.

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.
