The Treehouse Guys Build Wheelchair Accessible Treehouses

Growing up I built my fair share of forts and snow forts to create an imaginary world for myself. One thing though that I really wanted (thanks to Calvin and Hobbes along with Bart Simpson) was a treehouse. Unfortunately the places I grew up in didn’t have a tree where one could be built. So to this day I’m still a little nostalgically envious whenever I see a treehouse. Now the treehouses I’m featuring today are much bigger and nicer than any I could’ve dreamed of as a child. Some are also wheelchair accessible treehouses for children of all ages and abilities to enjoy. Built by the Treehouse Guys (formally Forver Young Treehouses) they design and build treehouses for children’s camps and communities.

Treehouse Roots
The Treehouse Guys started with two men, Chris “Ka-V” Haake and James “B’fer” Roth. Starting in the year 2000 they started working together to build a treehouse for a non-profit. That led to forming an organization that has built over 30 treehouses since. Many have been for private camps for people with disabilities. While others have been built for public parks.

More Than A Treehouse
In some cases the word “treehouse” should be substituted for “cabin” because these are nicely constructed buildings. The insides of which are roomy and wheelchair friendly with hardwood floors. The ramps themselves are built solidly and correctly while still blending in with the design. I like how the sides of some of the ramps use nonuniform pieces of wood to give kind of a handmade feel.

Conclusion
Recently The Treehouse Guys expanded their focus to build treehouses for private owners and their backyards. But they still work to build treehouses for camps and communities. For more information and to view more of their treehouses, visit www.Treehouses.org.
