Q: Do I need access to big trees to build a treehouse?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you&rsquo;re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/treehouse-builders/">local treehouse builder</a> before you start the project.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell which way a tree will fall?

• <div><p>The felling notch you make before you make the final cut will determine which way the tree will fall. The cut will be in a wedge or triangle, and the tree will fall from the highest point of the triangle. You can use this, as well as the process described above, to estimate where a tree will fall. </p></div>
