Building A Treehouse In A Beautiful Forest Alone - Part 7: Reaching For The Top

In this series I am building an off grid treehouse cabin in the forest. I build in a sustainable and ecological way in the wilderness and nature. This is episode 7 of The Treehouse Experiment documentary on my channel Building in Nature. The tree house is built in a big oak tree in a beautiful forest in The Netherlands. In this episode the walls are being built and the treehouse is taking shape. The beams for the first floor are installed and the roof structure reaches it highest point. I also experiment with Yakisugi (Not Shou Sugi Ban). Spring is taking over from winter, so the forest looks great!

I’m Ruud. A designer and filmmaker from The Netherlands. I design and make things.

I hope you enjoy the building process. Have a nice day!
