COYOTE VALLEY TREEHOUSE

COYOTE VALLEY TREEHOUSE

Every tree is unique and will need its own unique, custom design. Barbara's first order of business is to climb up in the tree and brainstorm ideas. No idea is too crazy! Back at her desk, Barbara covers the walls with tree photos, studying the limbs & trunks and mulling over the possibilities. Then she draws her ideas directly on the photos. If you are interested in a Zip Line, Barbara and her husband, Jeff, will need to set up a temporary ride to do on-site tests for the real thing. They may also "stick-frame" the design up in the tree - a process that lets Barbara fine-tune the design, get precise measurements and lets you visualize where everything will go. Once the final design is selected, we build the bulk of the treehouse in our shop. This process allows us to deliver and install treehouses all over the world! Please contact us for more details - We guarantee you will love your treehouse!
