Frequently asked questions about tree house builders near you

  • 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.

  • Possibly. 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Building a tree house in your own garden is legal in the UK, though you may still need planning permission depending on its size, height and closeness to a boundary. Always check with your local authority and be considerate of neighbours before you start work.

Whatever the purpose of your proposed outbuilding, such as a garden room, stylish summer house or something as simple as a plastic shed, at Checkatrade we're here to help you get a job done right.
