I had a playhouse as a kid and I loved it. There’s something special about having your own space outside to be a pirate or princess. We’re moving soon and I would love to be able to find a house that has space for one for my boys in the future.
I think I like the less-perfect tree houses that look like they’ve been assembled with leftover parts and from nature’s surroundings. They feel a little more authentic and kid-like to me. Here are the tree house pictures that have me inspired:
Fun clubhouse accessories
- Bucket on a rope to pull things up
- Tin can telephone
- Mailbox
- Flag
- Ladder
- Slide
- Zipline
- Rope bridge or rope ladder
- “Keep Out!” sign
- Tire swing
I’m not sure how I would manufacture one of these creative structures — I’m not handy in the least — but that’s a problem for another day. Today is about the inspiration.
Everyone deserves credit for their work. I don’t have information for some of these photos. If you know anything about them, I will happily credit.
