Build Your Tree House Inexpensively and Simply- EASY TIPS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лип 2024
- Derek "Deek" Diedricksen (tiny house author, designer, and former HGTV host and builder) shows us a very simple (and budget friendly approach) to starting the base supports of a small to medium sized tree house or tree fort build. This method (one of many) can utilize salvaged materials and it is incredibly easy to do- while also allowing a solo builder to safely free up their hands while raising the other beams and girders to support the rest of the platform base. Often building with salvaged wood and found items in the various tree house he has created over the years, Deek is currently chronicling this entire build for this channel (as he has done with other forts, tree huts, tiny houses, and more, in the past). If you're a fan of tree house masters, but don't have to fortune to build what they design, this one is for the thrifty and "broke folks" out there- aka those not wanting to waste their hard earned money and just need a simple tree house for them or the family. SAVE a ton of money and time with this idea and some of the methods you will see in future videos. If you're looking for a lo-fi easy build for your kids, this might be the route to go (how to build a tree house)

Lemmy would be proud!!! You might unofficially dub the tree house "The Ace of Spades House" 😎 Looking forward to your build!! Take care and stay safe!!!!
Nice to see ya, Deek!
Coming back around to your channel. I FINALLY have a piece of property worthy to build my dream shack.
So cool! Congrats!
Sankyü you,
good idea,
nice to see others vid's...
Have fun...
looks like it's gonna be cute!
Can't wait to see the rest of this! I've always wanted to know how this is done. I'd like to put one of your A-frames on a platform like this.
Multiple trees always increases stress on the support with increased wind. Working on one now and hunting for ideas. Nice video
Multiple trees is the only way I've ever done it. I've been doing tree forts for thirty years I'm building an adult one right now. For me and my boys. Out on the trails, we're all in our 40s. The one we built when we were twelve still stands today i'm using four Trees boxing that out with two by 6s running 2x4s across that 2 bunched up 4x4s across the middle ply wood over the top, 1st floor 12ft up is now done we are now going 9ft above that and doing the second story. Contruction screws and the big boys for the foundation only, steps go up the foundation tree, strongest of the 4 like a ladder, all 2x4 pieces go up thru the first floor and second floor the same, the 4 wheelers go underneath like a garage top floor will have a 12 man tent 2nd floor will be modified with walls made from pallet frames and thin plywood
Zip lines and tire swing into the creek will be going up as well. Good Ol Texas life 😊
Is the full video out yet? What do you use for the permanently affixed side? Long lag bolts?
What ever happened to the build video?
Is there a follow up to this video? Thanks!
Deek how would you make this work for three tree attachment?
If you're concerned about the wellbeing of the tree, you should treat the holes you make with an arborist pitch to prevent insect damage and infection. Personally, I won't drill into a living tree. I prefer to drill 1" holes in my lumber, glue a segment of 1" PVC in the hole and run 3/4" nylon rope through those holes to connect my frame to a tree. I also only use good rope tying to secure the tree house to the tree, with enough connection points that half of the points could support the load, at any given time, so if some ropes need to be adjusted, the tree house will still be well-enough supported to stay in place. Most importantly, if I decide to ever remove the tree house, the tree won't show any lingering damage, and I won't stress the tree to death. The biggest mistake a tree house builder can make is killing a tree they don't intend to kill.
Hey Jay- I have used several different approaches and even decades later have never had a problem killing a tree- as I mentioned, they're incredibly resilient and seem to grow around, and heal around, just about anything (esp Oaks and Maples). I Appreciate you detailing your method- pretty interesting too, though I'd be worried that even several attachment points of nylon rope wouldn't hold up some of the builds I deal with. I also tap trees for syrup and they say the best method overall is to let the tree just heal on its own- no pitch, no plugs, etc- I've never had any problems with those trees either. Anyway, thanks for your input- sincerely! Take care
@@relaxshacksDOTcom Yes, after watching about a million YT bushcrafting videos I've heard them all say the same thing about trees: introducing a foreign object into the tree's wound is likely to impede the tree's healing process rather than protect it. Someone (I can't remember who) compared it to plugging up a human wound with a foreign object as the way both wounds coagulate are very similar. Personally I like trees more than most people. One of the things I admire is how they're always stronger than you think. Just my opinion, but a good rule of thumb is, are your actions more like that of a mosquito, or a beaver?

see magnetoculture,
yannick VD on youtube has videos in english
see also maybe andrea donnoli, and perma futur
and the facebook electroculture
a tree is like an antenna, the roots are the electrical earth socket,
there are energies which are reflected electrically in the soil, for example charcoal is very good in a vegetable garden,
so you can boost growth x2 or 3 easily,
see even a radish as big as a 1.5 liter bottle, and excellent in taste,
as you can kill a tree by connecting the branches to the ground via an electric wire for example
I don't think a nail has that effect,
but it must have an effect ....
(since the new electric current in Fr, and the 5G, we observe dead trees under the electric lines
- yannick did an FB group on this,
and 2 videos 'French forests' where he says he observes on google map islets in the forest of dead trees, for no apparent reason
(he is an agronomist engineer, and tries to recall these cultivation techniques, pyramids of ghizee or Irish tower for example,
but there are a lot of patents existing since a few sciecles, but not enough info in English)
@@fred-san Of course a nail has some effect - which is why I equated it with a mosquito. As we all know, the effects of a mosquito can range anywhere from annoyance to deadly virus. I hope you don't think I was trying to minimize anything. I have a profound respect for trees and I'd be the first to say something if I thought someone was doing traumatic or irreparable damage. However I can't wait to dive into all the info you've shared with me. Thank you so much! Always ready to learn something new. :-)
@@fred-san BTW took a peek at your channel - looks pretty interesting! Exactly the type of videos I like so I pre-subbed. :-D I plan on watching your videos very soon.
Hi, i can't find the follow up video as promised in the end of this video. I subscribed as asked , can you post the link as a response? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hella, I wanted to ask if u would recommend pallet wood an papercrete for building a 12x8 shed? I was thinking of feeling the inside of the pallets with papercrete to make it stonger.
I mean, you can do A LOT with pallets, but they also have their limitations (size, quality of wood, etc) and they take MORE time to work with.... the trade off is the money saved....
it's backbreaking breaking pallets apart and some boards are too thin.
Motorhead!!!!! RIP Lemmy
How are timber locks different from GRKs?
I believe that GRK's are actually more so a brand name (they make trim heads, all that stuff)- they also make large guage timberlok-like screws.... timberloks are basically outdoor rated (the ones I used) high strength huge screws with hex heads
How long of the timberlocks did you use?
do they still make Schlitz beer?
yes they do!

I painted all my wood before I added to tree
thank you for posting this! I've already sent it to Hectah the builder 😂
lol- nice! Hope you guys are well!
And if course- email me if you have any questions!
@@relaxshacksDOTcom thanks! We are, hoping the same for you all.
One of these days when I have more time I’d love to visit you guys just to talk shop and geek out on salvage projects
@@derekdiedricksen9170 of course, you are always welcome! I'll email you Hector's #
When are you gonna show the Tiny hobbit hole you were working on?
Soon- its done- just have to film a few last things and edit it. :)
