How much would a basic treehouse cost?

Answer 1

between 500 and 1,000 for a lowish platform with walls. once u start adding windows (2 - 5 hundred each) roofing materials or spiral stairs it gets much more expensive. a basic kids tree house can be as cheep as 4,000 if ur building it yourself and using scrounged scraps. 10,000 - 15,000 if you hire someone. running power to it is pretty easy but pluming is more than a couple grand by its self.

the houses are nice but i wanted some thing fun but more open. so i built a treePirateShip. it end up costing a little over a 1,000 but much more fun than a simple deck. all i did was curve the deck into a prow and make the walls in back and front taller. (used salvaged anchor rope for the port side with a rope ladder and some cannon ports on the starboard. a couple of CBS/PVC water cannons and they where holding the back yard for ransom in no time. hope this helped and best of luck.
