As custom treehouse builders, we often get asked: Are treehouses safe?

Our team is committed to safety through detailed craftsmanship; in fact, it is our top priority.

Keep in mind that our high-quality builds are not your average backyard treehouse , playhouse, or treetop clubhouse. We are insured professionals who have been building in the custom treehouse world for many years now, and take both our craft and your safety very seriously.

The safety of our treehouses is ensured by employing quality materials and expert tree attachment techniques which accommodate both tree movement and growth as time progresses. We work with engineers and use cutting-edge tools and specialized bolts in order to ensure that your treehouse project is as safe as possible for the people using it, as safe as possible for the tree, and is designed with a sophisticated understanding of human use patterns. The artificial limbs we use have been extensively tested to hold the heavy weights required in treehouse construction. Additionally, we strongly encourage engineer inspections and stamps for each project at the design and foundation completion stages.

Of course, given the height of most treehouses, and taking into consideration rope bridges, tight stairs and special elements such as tree decks and crow’s nests, users must use a level of care when accessing their tree top structure. As Asheville’s top custom treehouse builder, we design and engineer access methods that feel safe: some are as safe as entering a normal home. We have over 35 years of construction experience, and take pride that our luxury treehouses are built with precision and structural integrity due to thoughtful care from the design services phase through construction.
