*Minimum Recommended Tree Diameter ~10"
TAB Install Step 2
Using the Forstner/Custom Pilot Bit supplied in the Tree Fort Install Kit, drill 3” into solid wood (excluding bark).
*Be sure to clean the bit and hole often, as woodchips will build up quickly.

Allowing for Tree Movement
Important Note:
When building a treehouse that involves more than one tree, you must allow for independent tree movement and must never fix the trees together with beams or structural components. Our hardware has been designed to allow beams to safely connect to more than one tree, all while allowing movement.
