How can I extend a platform from a playhouse to a tree?
Standard UK treehouse that was here when we bought the place. I really want to extend a platform from where I’ve put a few 2 by 4s across so that it extends to the nearest tree. Tree is currently 1.5m away from the permanent structure. How do I start? I want it to be a simple platform for sitting/reading so would need a rail support around but that’s it.
I keep reading on here about how it’s best NOT to actually attach to a tree but this is a sturdy, poker straight pine approx 30cm diameter that I don’t have any particular emotional attachment to.
How can I go about this? I’m thinking a square, or triangle shape with the tree at the point, presumably this is doable for a basic DIYer with time and optimism..?!
