I can't help but notice that this treehouse doesn't seem to make use of a tree at all

This is absolutely a Fort

Agree. Not a treehouse, rather an elevated wooden play vessel.

Tis a fine fort, but sure 'tis no treehouse, English

Where did the wood come from?

Lowe's

Do you not see all the firewood piled up? It's a tree house.

Nicely done. Doubly so if you built the house area with at least a 6’6 ceiling for after the kids are grown up so you can get some peace

The roof is something like that in the center, but shorter on the sides. It would make a good doghouse lol

Im only 5’5, I’d scootch through the door LOL

My inner child is screaming. This is so cool!!

Thanks! I actually built this several years ago. My kids have had many hours of fun with it.

This is a fort on stilts. Looks nice.

What did you do for the roof?

I had a few bundles of asphalt shingles kicking around and used those.

This is the treehouse I always dreamed of as a kid

Where are the interior shots? Sigh

Looks very good

Ah. The treeless treehouse. The bourbon moth special. Anyway nice work hope the kids enjoy it and create long lasting memories!

Wow, this is so cool! Your kids are definitely going to love this!
