Tree fort ideas!

[Wiz]

So i finally got around to cleaning the grove of pines that the previous owner used as a yard waste dump! Took 5+ hours of HARD DIRTY LABOR but im almost done.
Leaves us bout 20'+ circle with 3 huge pines and a couple smaller trees. The potential is endless. Figured i would fish for ideas. :) budget is non existent, so keep it cheap. :/

Google treehouse masters. Awesome ideas. You could modify it to fit your budget.

I don't have any ideas, but oohhhh I can't wait to see the end result! I pretty much grew up in the woods with my siblings, making forts, fishing, crazy kid stuff etc. Like you said it looks like a spot with a lot of potential.

Ever think of doing a dome treehouse? You could probably get scrap pieces of plywood and the dome brackets aren't that expensive.

You could check with places like lumber yards to see if they have any misc. wood that they can't use. Or places like Home Depot, lowes etc. they may have pallets that are being tossed out that you can salvage.

Google geodesic dome to see what I mean.

I deliver pizza so I am constantly picking up various things off of the side of the road. LOL and I Coast Craigslist free ads all the time for pallets and wood and such. Also that Dome idea sounds pretty sweet I'm going to have to look into that. I just really hope I can do this Justice

They use starplate fasteners. Box of 11 is a complete set. There are some on eBay now. About 100.00
