Luxist reported in November that the Beckhams gave their three boys an out of the ordinary tree fort, costing around $50,000!!!
The ‘TreeTent‘ from Neiman Marcus is a 13-foot tall pseudo-building boasting a 9-foot diameter, hardwood floors and a round mattress inside. That’s a pretty big tent/tree-fort/whatever it is!
While most of us can’t afford to buy our kids glorified tents costing $50k, we can explore other options.
Build Your own
There are a ton of places on the internet that have free plans and drawings available. All you need is a visit to your home depot and a few friends who know what they are doing. Heck, my dad nailed a few pieces of plywood to the tree in my backyard and called it a tree fort – I was perfectly happy with that.
Hire Someone To Build It
This will certainly cost you more than nailing some boards to a tree but there are some really cool designs available out there. Check out Tree Top Builders or The Living Tree House.
Buy a Pre-Made TreeHouse or PlayHouse
This is probably the easiest option and probably the best in terms of value. There are a number of places out there where you can get a cool tree house/fortfor relatively cheap and you don’t have to build it.
Whatever you choose if you have the tree or the yard for it, I guarantee your kids will love having a tree house. Or if you have an extra $50k, a tree tent!
