Be in a Treehouse: Design / Construction / Inspiration Hardcover – Illustrated, March 25, 2014

Great book, great price, quick delivery. Pete Nelson is an excellent treehouse builder and instructorI am currently designing a treehouse for my two grandchildren. I'm planning starting in April. This book helps with the foundation of a new world for me and our grandchildren.

My boyfriend and I surprisingly gave each other this same book as a Christmas gift, as we both love treehouses, and plan on building one together next year! I’ve rented 3 airbnb treehouses and now want one of my own.

Having already enjoyed Pete Nelson's television show and a couple of his previous books I knew that "Be In A Treehouse" would be a useful book for when it comes time to construct my own "get away in the trees". The book is broken down into easy to read sections on all the aspects of contemporary treehouse design and construction. Specifically designed hardware make treehouse building safer and more available - as long as you've got the tree (or trees) to support a structure. The book provides examples of treehouses that Pete has built as well as those built by others. Through the given examples Pete is able to illustrate pros and cons of methods of construction that he and others have developed over the years. Most importantly Pete tells us where he's failed, offering his solutions or lessons learned from those mistakes. If you are like me and love your trees and loved your childhood treehouse (or fort or clubhouse, etc...) then do yourself a favor and pick up this book.

It's a very good product.

Good book. Well described processes, great pictures, very informative. We can't wait to build our own treehouse!

I really enjoyed reading "Be in a Treehous"! Wow, what a "job" to have: building treehouses. The book has some very cool pictures of treehouses from around the world, primarily built by the author in the USA. The only thing I would have enjoyed more is if the author would have shared more technical information (dimensions, techniques, closeup shots); though I assume he doesn't want to give away his secrets in a book and thus not have people hire him or attend his workshops. If you like treehouses - whether you're planning to build one or not - you'll like this book.

Love all of Pete Nelson’s books. My hubby and I bought some amazing property along a river in Virginia’s Blue Ridge that has 100 year old hickory & walnuts trees that are PERFECT for building a treehouse village. Brings out the kid in us! We can’t wait!!!

I loved it. Pete Nelson's imagination brings the fantasy of a child to an adult. He has dedicated his life to make other people happy by providing the dream of having a Treehouse to enjoy. May God Bless him and his beautiful family for it.
