The Complete Guide to Building Your Own Tree House: For Parents and Adults Who Are Kids at Heart

This book was an almost word for word copy of the black and decker book, except for the case studies and the sample plans. Given that, it is actually better than the black and decker book. I just feel I shouldn't give credit for plagiarism. But perhaps both books are plagiarizing an earlier source.

Perhaps this is a shipping error but mine arrived without the CD. The book seems to include much of the CD content in its later pages, though, so I'm skipping jumping through the hoops of replacing the order.There is a nice variety of plans and reasonably detailed information about how to build them.

Very informative and straight forward. Offered sample plans I was able to use as a general blueprint for my construction. Built to last. Enjoyed every moment of created a pirate theme for my grandchildren. Phase 2&3 coming soon!!

As I write this review, there are eight others rating this book at four or five stars. None of these prior reviews are from verifed purchasers.I have read several tree house books, and this was recently published so I purchased it.Note that only half the book (chapters 1- 10) contains 'useful' content. The remainder of the book is a collection of plans (duplicated on the included CD, why did the publisher reprint all of it?) and case studies. The content is weak and supported by very few diagrams (e.g., Chapter 5 "Building the platform" contains no diagrams, and only a single picture).I cannot recommend this book and returned it. The "Black and Decker Build your kids a Treehouse" is excellent and aimed at an adult audience. If you would like a more kid friendly book, those written by the Stiles are perfect.

Weekend Project Book Series.)

I rarely write reviews, but was very disappointed in this book. He CD was missing - I noticed other people have the same problem. There wasn’t even a sleeve or glue spot where a CD ever existed. There are plenty of descriptions of accessories, bo diagrams - why not? Why wouldn’t they include pictures? The plans are basic - OK - but there are no photos of the finished products, just a basic line drawing. Not helpful.

Lots of books to choose from, and this one seemed the best. Very happy with this purchase and even went back and bought a few more for my fellow carpenters.

This is a great book. Lots of good information. I bought 3 books but this is the best one, very informative. Can't wait to get started on our treehouse

Great tree house ideas!
