step 1 - find the right tree.


i couldn't so i'm going to grow my own. i have started today by tilling a hole in my proposed grow site. i would like to finish this project with a nice loft up top. it may just become the rollitup club house. so here it begins.



the plant of chioce i think will be roadtrip. not for personal reasons, but because it is the one seed that i have that fits this project. it grows tall with long, straight, upwards reaching side branches. perfect for laying out the floor and wall supports.

so this is my hole. i am shooting for the stars. the skies the limit. does this size look adequate?

YES. i'm having a harvest party in october and everyone's invited. we need somewhere to kick it. we will hang out in the fort a few days then saw it down and trim it pretty.

So is a tree fort the same as a treehouse is to us Brits? Like a ramshackle wooden building you make up a tree to hang out in?

forget the fence, it'll move on its own...... make sure you weve the limbs after it's over 6'. you'll need to do some planing.


and forget the ladder, if you cant fly up there, you arn't allowed in:joint:
