STEP FOUR

Finally putting your tree-house together.

Materials                     

Nails                                            

Hammer                                        

Your cut wood                               

Your uncut wood                            

The tree or poles that you're using

You might need a ladder                 

  This is finally the last thing you need to do! What you need to do, it get ALL you pieces of wood together, and lay them on the ground, near your tree.

  First, of course, you need to put the floor of your tree-house in.  If you are using poles, you can simply put a few nails into each pole and slide the wood over the poles.  If you have a tree ... it may be a little harder.

  What you can do, is cut the wood in half, going across the hole.  Then put the halves together, and nail them together.  This could be a bit difficult, so if you can find any other ways to do this, you can very well try!

  Now, you can easily put the rest of the tree-house together.  There are a few ways to put the walls on.  You could put them exactly on the edge of the floor board (you would need a hanging ladder for this) or you could put them a few inches in (you would still need a hanging ladder).

  The nailing is rather simple, and you could do it numerous ways.  You could nail from the bottom into the wall boards, or you could try to nail from the walls into the floor.  The roof is also simple to put in, because you only need to put it on the walls, and nail.

  The nails should be placed about 6 - 8 inches apart, and they should go all around the perimeter of the wood.

    Lastly, we have included some "extra features" to make your tree-house the best.
