By Building a treehouse is a whimsical endeavor that requires careful consideration of materials and structural integrity to withstand the elements and movement of trees. Lunawood Thermowood offers a solution that meets these challenges with its dimensional stability, decay resistance, and eco-friendly properties.
Material Selection
When selecting materials for a treehouse, it’s crucial to choose ones that can withstand the unique demands of the environment. Lunawood Thermowood, crafted from Scandinavian PEFC-certified pine and spruce, is an ideal choice. Its dimensional stability and resistance to decay make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, regardless of climate. Additionally, being non-toxic and easy to work with, Lunawood ensures both safety and convenience in construction.
Structural Considerations
Designing the structure of a treehouse requires careful planning to ensure it integrates seamlessly with the surrounding trees. Whether supported by a single trunk, multiple trunks, or suspended from the trees with a steel cable system, Lunawood Thermowood offers versatility and strength. In examples like the Treehouse Extreme by Sullalbero SRL, a hybrid structural system combines timber and steel cables to support the treehouse securely amidst the branches.
Cladding Solutions
Lightweight, durable, and aesthetically pleasing cladding is essential for a treehouse. Lunawood Thermowood Nordic Pine cladding provides an ideal solution, offering natural beauty and resilience. Paired with wool insulation, it ensures a comfortable interior environment while maintaining a natural appearance. The Thermowood treatment process removes natural resin and imparts varying shades to the wood, enhancing its visual appeal over time.
Decking Options
For internal and external platforms within the treehouse, Lunawood Thermowood decking provides durability and stability. Its insulation properties balance temperature changes, creating a comfortable surface to walk on barefoot. In projects like the Treehouse Extreme, Lunawood decking laid atop a PVC base allows for efficient water drainage and easy maintenance.
Conclusion
Building a treehouse with Lunawood Thermowood offers a harmonious blend of durability, sustainability, and natural beauty. From structural support to cladding and decking, Lunawood provides versatile solutions that enhance the charm and functionality of any treehouse project, bringing you closer to nature in style and comfort.
