Tree Houses: Accessories and Options

Don’t forget to include some tree house options! Our tree houses almost always include a few custom options. Frequently, our tree houses are installed with one or more rope swings. Sometimes they hang from underneath the tree house platform, and other times we put them on a high extended branch on the tree house tree or on a nearby tree. Many times, as we install the treehouse rope swing, the neighbors will ask us to put up a rope swing at their house. During one tree house project in Illinois, the rope swing was so much fun that three of the neighbors on the street just had to have one before we left town. We didn’t have enough seats, but we hung all of the ropes and mailed the seats when we returned to our tree house workshop in Pennsylvania.

We have custom built tree house zip line kits that use far bigger and stronger materials than the cheap kits on the market. Small zip lines can start from low treehouses or from the ground to another tree. Big tree house zip lines start high in the air and can be several hundred feet long. You can jump out of your tree house, fly through the air, and hop off when the ride comes to a stop. What a thrill! Of course, we can instruct you on how to properly use safety equipment if appropriate. In our job, nothing quite compares to the first time I send someone down their zip line and they scream with excitement all the way down.

Our most requested tree house accessory is a rope and bucket. The rope goes over a pulley and down to the ground. Many kids will fill the bucket up with rocks, run up the steps, pull the bucket up to the top, and then dump the rocks out, and then run down to fill it up again. Laughing all the way! It may seem simple, and it is, but it’s tons of fun.

Many kids want a treehouse to be their private space, and often want to pull the rope ladder up after them to keep the bad guys out. A good way to do this is to have the entrance to the tree house through a trap door. Then the children can close the door and defend the treehouse. If they think ahead, the children will have already hauled up their bucket of water balloons - well equipped to guard their tree house!

Tree Houses: Custom Construction

For the ultimate tree house project, consider building 2 or 3 tree house platforms in different trees connected with bridges. We build bridges out of cable, chain, and/or rope, and they can span up to 80 feet, depending on the suitability of the trees holding them up. Some of our tree house bridges cross streams or rough terrain, not only providing fun, but a practical passage to another part of your land. We use high quality safety netting on our tree house bridges – from the same company that makes netting for major theme parks such as Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Did you see the bridges in the Lord of the Rings or the Ewoks’ village? It’s all possible here at Tree Top Builders.

Whether you desire a simple, single-platform treehouse or a complex tree house spanning dozens of trees; Tree Top Builders can meet your needs. We are one of the leading builders of tree houses in the country and it is our goal to turn your tree house vision into reality. Tree Top Builders will provide you with a safe, remarkable tree house that will be the envy of every child in your neighborhood.
