3. Properly relate the sizes of a tree with an area of \u200b\u200bthe future at home, taking into account the weight of building materials.

Important! Compliance with this rule will help competently calculate the load on the plant in order to prevent its destruction under the weight of the design and man. Be sure to consider in this regard, how many children will be able to be inside the house at the same time.

6. Collect the base frame on Earth.
7. Secure it on the backups.
   

    

   Important! Carefully check the strength of all places of fasteners, especially in the joints by oblique lines.

                                    

8. Lay several boards on the frame by creating lags.

    Important! If you prefer to the rope method, be sure to check the permissible load on it and the integrity of the rope.

              

13. Treat all gaps and cracks with a resin-based sealant to eliminate rain ingestion and ensure the irrepressibility of the room.
    

     

    Important! After completing such a simple procedure, you will not only increase the comfort of staying in a tree in a tree to any weather, but also the strength of the entire design, and accordingly, extend the life of its operation.
