FAQ
Q/ Do I need a large tree for my treehouse?
A/ No, a large tree is not required, but if you do have one, fantastic. A treehouse can be built between a number of trees.

Q/ Is the tree damaged during the construction of a treehouse?
A/ No, the trees are never damaged. Trees are amazing things and are respected hugely on our part. Special brackets and limbs are attached to the tree during construction which do no harm.

Q/ What kind of materials are used during construction of a treehouse?
A/ We prefer to use as much reclaimed material as possible. This would include wood, windows and doors, roofing material etc. The bulk of the treehouse is made from wood. Sometimes we use fallen trees from the surrounding area, this adds to the story and character of the treehouse.

Q/ What’s the ideal tree for a treehouse?
A/ Any strong healthy tree is a good host. Some of the best are Oak, Beech, Chestnut, Ash, Lime, Cedar and even large fruit trees.

Q/ Do you have set designs?
A/ No, we do not have any set designs. Every tree is different and therefore we build the treehouse around the shape of the tree/s. This is one of the beauty’s of treehouses, each one organically unfolds depending on the tree. We have many ideas from our experience in building treehouses, but of course if you have your own ideas then we would love to hear them.

Q/ How much does a treehouse cost?
A/ It’s impossible to say how much your treehouse would cost, but we can give you an idea. The treehouses we build range in price from £15,000 to over £60,000 (approx. 21,000 to 84,000 Euros).

Q/ What’s the next step?
A/ The next thing to do would be to contact us, then we would arrange a consultation appointment. We would come to your house, look for the best tree, and find out your ideas and plans. Then you would receive drawings, plans and a price. The cost of this is 600 Euros, if you go ahead and we build the treehouse then this fee is deducted from your final bill. If you live in a country other than France then this cost would be higher due to travel and accommodation expenses, please contact us for more details.
