Ideally, you want a hardwood that is old enough so the branches are eight or more inches in diameter. If you only have softwood trees, the branches will need to be bigger to ensure that they can handle the load. Ideal species of trees include hemlock, beech, maple, oak, and fir. Consider Weight and Stability.

Your treehouse cabin platform should be as close to the tree trunk as possible, as you don't want the kids falling out of the treehouse. Also, make sure the treehouse cabin platform is adequately braced. Ideally, you should add diagonal bracing to account for any uneven loads. Center the Treehouse Over the Base of the Tree. If you put the treehouse only on one side, it won't be stable.

If you live in a location with high winds, keep the treehouse to the lower third of the tree to prevent uprooting in a storm. If you are building on one trunk, do your best to keep the main platform level. Don't Restrict Tree Growth. Leave some gaps around the tree to allow for growth, especially around branches and trunks that come into the treehouse.

A good rule is two inches if the tree passes through the floor, and three inches if it passes through the roof. Avoid using anything that constricts the branches such as rope, straps, and wire or you risk strangling the tree. Include spacers between the beams and the tree to account for movement. Consider extra-long large bolts. This gives you the freedom to mount items on the ends while also giving the tree enough room to grow.
