Treecraft Design-Build

Day 1 installing the Garmon playhouse in Denver! Tis the season for string lights and headlamps at the end of the work day 🫠.

Want a fireplace in your treehouse? We’ve got you 🤝🤝. I had a lot of fun painting this cozy little fireplace for the Catalpa Treehouse! Thankfully it wasn’t inspected because we did not install a chimney to go with it 😳.

Was a big day two on site for the Catalpa treehouse! Early morning load-out getting all of the wall sections, roof sections, platform, and spiral stair on the trailer in Fort Collins. By the end of the day we got the main platform up, braces in, all 4 walls set, landing platform decked, and spiral stair set! The wall sections were heavier than expected with the bump-outs left on each wall, but once we got them over next to the treehouse lifting them up was easy with the GRCS winch and pulley rigged up higher in the tree.

Flower boxes! We’ve made flower boxes to hang outside the windows of a treehouse before, but this time I wanted to fill them with something nice to start with for the clients. I figured a little fake flower arrangement would be an easy low maintenance way to keep the fun look going year round. Was pretty easy, with a foam block attached at the bottom of the cedar box to stick the stems in, and filling in around the flowers with some cedar mulch from my garden. These will get mounted just below the windows on the exterior of the Catalpa treehouse.
