Frequently asked questions about tree house builders near you

What tradesperson will install a tree house for me?

There may be local tree house installers near you that specialise in this specific field. However, if you can't find one, a carpenter or garden landscaper may also be able to help you with your tree house project.

Do you need planning permission to build a tree house in the UK?

As a tree house is an external additional structure, you may require planning permission prior to installation. Always be sure to check with your local authority first.

Do I need a tree to build a tree house?

Ideally, yes. But if you don't have a tree you can use, it's not the end of the world. You can still build a tree house in your garden using support legs that a tree house installer will be able to build for you.

What kind of foundations or support does a tree house need?

To make sure your tree house is safe and structurally sound, make sure you've ticked off the following:

• A proper survey of the tree(s) that you plan to build your tree house

• Secure fixings

• Safe access via ladders or stairs

• A strong deck/floor structure

• A safety rail, if adding a veranda or porch

• Weather-resistant materials

How long does it take to build a tree house?

For a typical garden treehouse, construction may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on size, height and complexity. Bespoke, luxury or large installations will take longer.

Can adults use a tree house or is it just for children?

Absolutely. There's now many tree house builders and high-end companies creating treetop offices and hobby dens for both children and adults alike. Designs include insulation, lighting, and decking for a home-from-home set-up.

If you plan adult use, discuss design, height, access and safety features with your builder at the very beginning of the project.
