How to Build Treehouses Huts and Forts

<DIV>A treehouse is a wonderful idea but how in the name of creation do you actually build one? In this delightfully illustrated handbook David Stiles the unofficial world grandmaster of the treehouse shows how. <BR><BR>Not assuming anything about the treehouse builder Stiles starts with the basics: how to nail how to buy wood what kind of screws and nails to use. <BR><BR>Then it's on to an A-frame design so simple that it can be built in a weekend out of four sheets of plywood followed by lean-tos a tree hut and a Tarzan-style jungle hideaway. There are also forts of every description including a 21-foot-tall lookout tower modeled on one George Washington built to keep an eye on the redcoats. <BR><BR>Stiles also adds a design for a snowball catapult an igloo and even a Nerf-loaded cannon. <BR><BR>Written for children with an adult peeking over their shoulder Stiles's TREEHOUSES HUTS & FORTS is a dreamer's handbook offering practical results. <BR></DIV>
