If you love going on trips with your tent, be prepared to have your mind blown! This awesome and increasingly popular trend is capturing more and more of people’s interest. Now, who doesn’t like an exploration of nature but also seeks to have a bit of comfort and security when sleeping in the wild. Tree-houses are one solution, but a costly one and surely not one that would be handy on your next trip in the forest. That’s why tree tents are a perfect alternative! Lightweight, portable, and with less impact on trees than their wooden counterpart structures, the tree tents have a simple yet clever design.

When you see this actually available for you to acquire, you won’t believe it was just a college project a while back. The hanging tree tent, or The Roomoon as its makers branded it, is made from a stainless steel frame, push pins, lightweight sturdy pine boards, and covered in canvas, with zippered openings throughout, so you can enjoy the surrounding landscapes to the fullest. Be sure to check out the entire set of photos featuring this amazing piece of design. Grab a piece before they become the norm in adventure seekers!

The eco-PERCH concept is based on Blue Forest’s famous tree houses. It’s natural, organic geometry maximises the relationship between the inside space and the outdoor setting, ensuring the structure sits harmoniously within the landscape. This versatile accommodation unit offers guests an unrivalled experience and provides clients with a vivid resource for PR and marketing, helping to set them apart from the competition. The building sleeps 4 people and is delivered, assembled and commissioned in approximately 5 days (subject to site preparation). The eco-PERCH design is flexible and can be adapted to suit your site where existing infrastructure is already in place. With options to assemble your building on the ground or in the treetops there are infinite possibilities for creating accommodation with a difference. This unique structure was unveiled for the first time at the Grand Designs Live exhibition, a few weeks ago.

We must recognize that a tree house is unusual but interesting. But if we want this, we must follow a few steps. The first step to having your own tree house is choosing a tree or trees (some tree houses span two or three trees). But for this you must to be a little bit “crazy”. Think about who will use the tree house — adults or kids. Tree houses for kids should be kept close to the ground for their protection. The perfect tree for a tree house is not too young, not too old and must be healthy. Apple, oak, ash, fir and beech are some good choices. Diseased or damaged trees will be unstable — your house might not last very long and you might not be safe inside it. Trees can be diseased at the root (at ground level or underground), in the trunk or at the core. Other warning signs of an unstable tree are lightning or excessive wind damage.

Additionally, the thickness and angle of the branches makes the difference between a strong or weak support system. Limbs grow naturally in all sorts of sizes, shapes and angles and the strongest limbs are those growing at 90-degree angles. Steer clear of building in elm or sycamore trees — both of which are prone to disease. Also avoid any tree with a short lifespan, shallow roots or position on a slope.
