Adult Tree Houses Are All The Rage These Days

By Nelda Powers


Live your childhood all over again and enjoy those special moments with all the comforts of home. Designers have now built adult tree houses fit for kings. Many use dozens of trees and the views are amazing. Nothing beats the peaceful feeling of hearing birds singing instead of cars hooting.

You all need down time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. These houses are made out of durable and hard wood. They can be made with a balcony for that extra peaceful feel. One can either be made for a romantic getaway or for the whole family to enjoy. Just imagine sitting in the lounge watching television and having a beautiful old tree trunk growing right in the middle.

Nowadays there are hotels of this kind that offer excellent service, with a large range of amenities. They are committed to ensuring that your visit will be as comfortable as possible. Some even offer Wi-Fi areas, restaurants and room service. If you have a dog and can't bear to leave him at home, bring them with.

The choice of style and size depends on the size of the trees used. Bigger buildings will require more than one, up to as many as three or four. Small shacks made from driftwood to hotels and cathedrals with a vast array of designs are breathtaking. These can be fitted out with stoves, burning wood, handmade stained glass windows and solar powered lightening.

Not all are attached to the trunk, there are some that are mobile and are hung from trees, buildings and rock faces. Usually only four anchor points are needed to support the weight. These have to be waterproof and impact-resistant.

People are even starting to think ahead. Why not grow one instead of building. A combination of using scaffolding and other materials can be used to help direct the growth over a period of years. Vines and roots will begin to make a flexible framework. The windows can be made out of a flexible soy membrane that will shift as this begins to grow.

If you are lucky enough to be able to make one yourself, remember that it must be safe and strong. The tree must be able to continue to grow and only those that are mature must be used. Depending on what your budget is, more than one tree can be utilised. Always look around for the different techniques and tutorials that are available so as to avoid costly mistakes.

Companies that make these dwellings hire extremely able builders and carpenters, with many years of experience. Some are even suspended from cables instead of been bolted to the trees. Those that live in jungle areas and have always lived this way can make them over 100 feet in the air to protect them from insects and animals on the ground.

Just because you have grown up, it doesn't mean the end to your dreams. With all the knowledge of today's world, anything can be done. Adult tree houses are made so that one can leave the rat race behind, even if just for a few days and enjoy life again.
