Prolong the Life of Your Treehouse!

During construction, allowance is made around the trunk and where the boughs pass through the walls and roof of a Treehouse, taking into consideration the tree’s natural growth and movement. This allowance is dependent on the maturity of the tree and its expected growth. Any adjustments that may become necessary are made as part of our annual maintenance program.

The raw materials we use are of the best quality and our methods of construction make for long-term use. However, all outdoor products require maintenance and regular inspection; timber is a natural product and over time moves, swells or contracts due to seasonal and temperature changes. Living Tree House operates a maintenance program whereby any items requiring attention are corrected, and the entire structure re-coated with a timber preservative. These measures will prolong the life of the Tree House, providing a perfect retreat for many years!
