Wood for a tree house

[Saeed]

Hello all,

 

I am planning to make a tree house for my children using cut trees, ideally 6-7 inches thick and 6 foot long. Does anyone know where I can purchase these? I don't want to use industrial timber because it will not look 'natural'. Any suggestions will be welcome.

 

Thank you

I've got some, when can you collect?

 Sweet chesnut poles would be ideal i reckon

 

If you live near a SC coppice place would be handy.

Give us your location and someone will be able to help I'm sure.

Hello everyone, thank you so much and sorry for not being able to reply earlier. I live in Teesside (Middlesbrough/Stockton area); I guess could travel 30 miles or so up or down.

Bit far north for chesnut coppice poles  unless you can go pick some up or find someone local that  stocks it.

 

 

Could try theese guys looks like the have chesnut poles?

6-7 inch chestnut could cost around £12 - £20 each? What about peeled softwood fencing postsbefore its treated(children involved?) and they’ll be regular size for stacked? Just get some treated ones for the bottom layer. Presume your going to build it Davy Crockett style?
