Be in a Treehouse: Design / Construction / Inspiration

Covers the basics for beginners but also has lots of pictures of advanced projects for entertainment or inspiration. Great book!

Pete Nelson delivers in this incredible book complete with photos, building descriptions and inspirational ideas. We watch Treehouse Masters constantly and absolutely love his work. This book also makes a great father's day gift as my husband hasn't put it down since it arrived. Great details and actual illustrations on how the treehouses were built. Love it and love the Nelson gang. We just need more new episodes of Treehouse Masters!

Great book, great price, quick delivery. Pete Nelson is an excellent treehouse builder and instructor I am currently designing a treehouse for my two grandchildren. I'm planning starting in April. This book helps with the foundation of a new world for me and our grandchildren.

Enjoy the book, but a little pricey!

Brand new book. Delivered ahead of schedule. Great content if you are thinking about designing and or building a treehouse of your own. Beautiful pictures, detailed layout sketches, excellent explanations of the how and why.

I really enjoyed reading "Be in a Treehous"! Wow, what a "job" to have: building treehouses. The book has some very cool pictures of treehouses from around the world, primarily built by the author in the USA. The only thing I would have enjoyed more is if the author would have shared more technical information (dimensions, techniques, closeup shots); though I assume he doesn't want to give away his secrets in a book and thus not have people hire him or attend his workshops. If you like treehouses - whether you're planning to build one or not - you'll like this book.

Having already enjoyed Pete Nelson's television show and a couple of his previous books I knew that "Be In A Treehouse" would be a useful book for when it comes time to construct my own "get away in the trees". The book is broken down into easy to read sections on all the aspects of contemporary treehouse design and construction. Specifically designed hardware make treehouse building safer and more available - as long as you've got the tree (or trees) to support a structure. The book provides examples of treehouses that Pete has built as well as those built by others. Through the given examples Pete is able to illustrate pros and cons of methods of construction that he and others have developed over the years. Most importantly Pete tells us where he's failed, offering his solutions or lessons learned from those mistakes. If you are like me and love your trees and loved your childhood treehouse (or fort or clubhouse, etc...) then do yourself a favor and pick up this book.

My boyfriend and I surprisingly gave each other this same book as a Christmas gift, as we both love treehouses, and plan on building one together next year! I’ve rented 3 airbnb treehouses and now want one of my own.

We have his first treehouse book, and this one just builds on the first success. We LOVE it. Great book, and instructional, too.

Habe mir zuerst ein anderes Buch zu dem Thema gekauft, weil ich dieses gar nicht gefunden hatte. Liegt wohl daran, dass es das Buch nicht auf deutsch gibt. Wer des Englischen allerdings einigermaßen mächtig ist, findet hier das beste Allround Buch zum Thema Baumhaus. Man findet von der ersten Idee bis zum fertigen Baumhaus alles Nötige einfach erklärt und, anhand von eigenen Erfahrungen des Autors, veranschaulicht. Einige Tipps, wie z.B. die Materialbeschaffung in den USA, bringen einem hier natürlich nichts. Trotzdem ist das Buch jeden Cent wert und ein toller Begleiter beim Baumhausbau. PS: Falls jmd. noch mehr Rezensionen lesen möchte, geht das übrigens auf der amerikanischen amazon Seite. Da ist das Buch sehr populär und auch sehr gut bewertet!

CS放送で見たとても素敵なツリーハウスがたくさん載っています。見るだけでも楽しいです。ありがとうございました。

Lo consiglio a tutti quelli che sono innamorati della costruzione con il legno e delle case sugli alberi!! Peter Nelson è un vero mago della costruzione di questi gioielli di falegnameria, oltre a essere chiaro ed esaustivo sui metodi di costruzione. Questo non è un catalogo, ma un vero e proprio manuale tecnico di costruzione di case sugli alberi.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband which is a great fan of Pete and his tree house building. This is one of two books I purchased and found it to be of good quality well written and illustrated. My husband will be thrilled.
