Treehouse Building Series - #1 TABs and GLs

There's something about a treehouse that sparks within us a sense of adventure. Being in the trees, connected to nature in a way that only a treehouse can, it’s a delightful feeling that we can all relate to. Most children dream of having their own treehouse and if we're honest many of us don't outgrow that dream. Putting all the concepts and pieces together to build your own can be a daunting task. But thanks to the modern treehouse movement there's never been a better time to build a treehouse. In this video series we'll go through the most important elements of building a treehouse that's safe for your family and the trees. From the hardware, to special techniques, and lessons learned, we'll show you how to bring it all together to make your dream a reality!

Awesome video Josh! Love the beard intro. This is so inspiring!

[@Jjcoolstuff]

+NelsonTreehouseSupply thanks so much! Means a lot coming from you guys!

[@christinalynn8143]

A little variety, necessary. A few solutions. Popularity here, no such surprise, beyond that a little, only as that, the idea. A sweet retreat. A vacation retreat. A home, a house. A kids playhouse. Yay!

By the way, thank you so much for these videos!

[@Jjcoolstuff]

You’re welcome! It’s so rewarding when people find the information helpful and useful.

[@ModernDayTech]

Great video series!

[@Jjcoolstuff]

Thanks MDFM. I appreciate you taking the time to watch some of my other videos and leaving comments there as well. I stumbled upon your video on tile tracker in the past. I knew your name sounded familiar. Nice to make a connection.

[@ModernDayTech]

Yeah I have a few Tile videos, lol. I'm pretty impressed with your tree house and the way you did the videos. Keep up the great job!

Thanks for the video, any idea where I could get TABs in the UK??

[@Jjcoolstuff]

No, I’m not sure. The companies I know about are all US based. I’m sure they’d ship them to you, but as heavy as they are it’d cost a small fortune.

Awsome Video, but why do you need a sliding bracket at the top of the yoke, wouldn't the free movement of the joists on the UMHW be enough? I have never built a treehouse before but am trying to figure the best and easiest way for me, which seems to be this video. Almost everything is pretty clear except for the UMHW.

[@Jjcoolstuff]

Thanks for the comments and questions. You’re right that you don’t need a sliding bracket and the UMHW. I didn’t use sliding brackets in my treehouse build but just made reference to them for people building in more than two trees or not using yokes. The UMHW is hard plastic that I attached to the bottom of the joists. I just drilled a small pilot hole in the UMHW and then attached with a wood screw. Maybe the weatherstripping that I applied to the top of the yoke makes it confusing. That’s just to help the wood last longer and does nothing for the movement of the treehouse. Hopefully that clarified things a bit. Feel free to ask more questions and update me with your progress as you continue to prepare for your build.
