Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is the 13th video in a series hosted by Treehouse Master, Pete Nelson, on how to build a safe treehouse platform using our Tree Fort Hardware System. In this video, Pete and his son, Henry, demonstrate how to "block" and cut the joist layer of a small treehouse platform. This treehouse platform is supported by our Tree Fort Hardware System.
Our Tree Fort Hardware System (referred to as "Backyard Hardware" in this video series) is a simplified and more economical version of the standard & heavy duty treehouse hardware we use in larger builds. This Tree Fort Hardware System is designed for small scale builds, think: kid-scale tree forts, sunset decks or tree gazebos.

What a wonderful life.
Pete you are a living encyclopedia. Thank you. Hello from Russia
Thank you master for everything
Can't wait to put up a great little treehouse/writers' studio between two giant cedar trees in our backyard!
I.Love this channel x
Pete, thank you for sharing these tips. They're awesome sauce! 😄
Question! I’m no carpenter or really even done something at this scale, so I’m unsure of a lot os these kinda things. How do you screw in the other side of the blocking?
Pete, you forgot to explain to people that whom are not used to measurements or understand when you measure from longest to shortest or did I miss that you explaining this 🤔🤙🏼
I’m curious why you put the joist on top instead of between the beams ?
Can I just use hurricane ties instead? The rim joist combined with the plywood top should provide plenty of strength, no? This is how I made decks before...
How do you secure the left side of the blocking that's on the joist with blocking already on the other side of it? Drive screws at an angle?

This shows up as #14 (after Rim Joist vdieo) in the playllist, it should probably be swapped?

Dang, that wasn't supposed to happen. Thanks for letting us know - unfortunately I do not think we can switch them.
Thanks a lot for the video. You said quickly that the joist are also fixed to the beams, is it correct? I thought there were not, in order to leave freedom of movement

The beams need to be able to move relative to the trees but the joists have to be firmly attached to the beams. It would be very unsafe otherwise
No sound coming through.
there must be more secrets .. ;)
What kind of wood are the joists?
