This lively showcase of 30 wildly different and eclectic tree houses will inspire anyone who has ever dreamed of building a tree house of their own.

The tree houses featured in Tree Houses within Reach range from simple platform structures to raised office spaces, tiny houses to playhouses—and prove that a tree house can be creative, useful, and beautiful while still being affordable and accessible to those with modest building skills. With extraordinary photos and fascinating profiles of the stories behind the builds, author Deek Diedricksen has curated this collection of tree houses with his trademark eye for quirkiness, thrift, and reused materials—featuring everything from a robot-themed tree house with salvaged windows to a 38-square-foot pod that relies solely on trees for support. For those eager to start their own projects, Diedricksen leads the reader through the most important nuts & bolts of tree house building and offers tips and suggestions throughout. The book includes step-by-step photographs of a basic sample build.
