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!
Living Tree House Guarantee
We Stand Behind All of Our Work!
Jonathan Fairoaks and Living Tree House stands behind all of their work in designing and building Treehouses. We guarantee our customers the quality and safety of our work. If anything on the treehouse needs to be fixed, Living Tree House will come out and fix any issues that arise.
In addition, Jonathan Fairoaks ensures that no trees are impacted in ways they can’t recover from. Living Tree House uses lighter materials with TAB style tree fasteners made by Treehouse Supplies, Inc. which are bolted into the heartwood. Holes, when made, are precise and surgically placed to minimize impact. Trees cope with the stresses and strains of holding a treehouse in exactly the same way that they deal with the force of the prevailing wind and other natural factors. We take into consideration each and every branch, making allowances for future growth and natural movement. As each tree grows it changes shape and adapts to the houses to contain them. We think of our treehouses as structures which float in each tree.
