After the initial decision to allow someone else do the work for you finding the best tree house company is the next big decision you will have to make. This will take some research on your part because there are not that many to choose from and many will not be local merchants for you. If you take time and research the ones available perhaps you can find one that suits your needs and is closer than the opposite end of the country.

What you are planning may be as simple as a couple of boards nailed to thick branches with a ladder for access or as complex as a miniature cottage style room secured between two large trees on thick branches. Either way you will need to plan ahead and probably talk to a few professionals regarding the level of difficulty to build it and the cost of having it built for you. The decision to have it built for you open a number of options that you might have never thought of.

The trend today is to use earth sustainable materials for all new building. This allows for the lowest impact on Mother Nature, your trees and the yard. There will be various fasteners attached to your trees and the building being constructed. It is very important to be certain that the ones chosen for your project will last for many years and that they can be repaired or replaced inexpensively.

Many of the companies you encounter while doing the research necessary to make your decision specialize in smaller structures designed for family use. They can and will customize the designs to accommodate your dream structure and do not mind traveling to your home to show you the floor plans they have previously built. To some of the smaller vendors building two or three structures a year is plenty and they focus on the quality aspect rather than quantity.

Many of these same organizations do repairs and maintenance on existing structures. Some will even sell some of the accessories that they offer for their buildings on an over the counter basis. This is not true of all features but if they can acquire the piece for less money they will sell and ship it to you.

Accessories that are available are too numerous to list in their entirety. They include unique ways to access the room and play items such as swings and rope ladders for long term amusement. Some larger companies allow you to give them ideas and then construct the accessory you imagined. The market for their products is limited so they are very happy to accommodate you in any way they can.

Some designs include an orb that may be suspended on a cable and accessed by way of rope ladders or walkways from the adjoining trees. These are the more earth friendly structures and are designed to be kind to Mother Nature. Size is determined by the age and strength of the trees that will carry the load.

As you can see there are many options open to you when choosing a tree house company. Most will not be local companies but will send their staff to you to lay out and construct your fantasy home in the trees. When you have made the decision and can watch it start to take shape in the back yard trees you will have something to enjoy for as long as you own your home.
