| Rocky Point Mexico
Michael built this treehouse in Rocky Point, Mexico in 4 transplanted
Palm trees.
If Palms will grow in your area, Michael can build you a treehouse
in 4 Palm trees. |

| Will Travel to accommodate you
Michael will go darn near anywhere to get your treehouse project 'off
the ground'. Michael brings his expertise and will either bring a
crew or work with local craftsperson's at your site. In the picture to the
right a local worker from Hainan, of Li nationality is part of the crew
that built this treehouse in a Tamorinda tree on the Hainan Island, off
the east coast of Vietnam. |

| Live Oak, Florida
The treemendous undertaking to the right was built in 1998 at the 'Spirit
of the Suwannee Amusement Park' in Live Oak, Florida. Set in five Red Oaks
in the back and five transplanted Fan Palms out front. This treehouse
was built at a cost of $50,000/1998 dollars. No project is considered
too large or too small in Michael's business. |
 |
| Michael's Histree
Michael's Treehouse. Others call it Histree. Mike built this in
1997 when Jo Co Treestooges slapped a court order to cease and desist operations
@ the Treesort. This rather lofty, at 51 feet up a tree, treehouse was
built to give the entreepreneur a safe haven from Law Enforcement in the
event that they might try to physically remove him from the premises. Histree
is now used for guests as a ropes course, either hand/toe holds or using
traditional climbing/rappelling gear. |
 |
| Piratree
This is the Piratree Ship, which is a floating treehouse. You need three
substantial trees to support this treeship. 20" diameter Fir trees
ought to do it ok This handsome Treeship can be shipped as a unit
pre assembled, or to your site as a kit with plans and hardware. You need
two trees 12' apart to mount the stern and another 20'distant for the bow
to hang from. This one is especially great for the kids as it is quite
interactive. |
|
| The Treeplex
Here, to the right, we have the Treeplex accommodations. The Treepee,
Kid sized, is in the trees connected to the Cavaltree via. a swinging bridge.
The Teepee is on the ground and is a full size Teepee with electric outlet
if you'd like and a fire pit in the ground in the center of the floor.
These are simple platforms with canvas structures. These are not considered
Permanent Structures and should never need a Building Permit. These units
are fairly inexpensive to build. The smaller bridges (30'or less) are considerably
easier to build than the larger/ full sized suspension bridges. |
 |
| The Suite
The ultimate in Treehouse living. To build one like this you need a
small grove of trees, or one
'Big_Daddy'. @ 350 sq. ft. with a 250 sq. ft. deck, this is an ultimate
retreat, with bath, kitchenette, bedroom and loft. Three room comfort.
The Suite can be built at a cost of $150.00 to $250.00 per sq. ft. |
|
| The Complex
The Complex is like a couple of bungalows in the trees. One sized for
the adults and the other, kid size. The Complex are the units on the left
foreground and the Peacock is in the background on the right. Here again
we are looking for a small grove or a couple of nicely forked stout trees.
@ $100.00 to $200.00 a sq. ft. this is a honey of a treat. No two treehouses
are alike and Michael builds each one to the trees or stand of trees on
your site. |
|
| Hangin' out
When building treehouses you can get into situations where you are literally
hangin' out there in thin air. Safety is a major concern when working at
heights of 10' and above. One needs to have all the proper equipment. |
|
| Platforms & Bridges
The platforms & bridges can be purchased with plans and hardware
for assembly, or we can build them at your site. We need a tree at least
20" in diameter of the proper species. Fir, Oak, most hardwoods and some
Pines. The bridge pictured right is 90' in length, using catenaries . This
is not advised for the owner/builder unless you are a Contractor
/ Eng. versed in this type of construction methodology. More info
to follow on bridges at a later date. This type of platform can also
be used to build a treehouse on. We are building one at the Treesort as
you read this. |
