Cheeky Monkey Treehouses USA* produces rustic custom tree/play houses, log cabins, elevated platforms, towers and bridges for people of all ages. Cheeky Monkey treehouses are attractive, imaginative and built to last.
Your treehouse could be a quiet retreat in nature’s surroundings, a place of great adventure where children can use surplus energy, or the perfect entertaining spot!
A Cheeky Monkey Treehouse can be adapted to accommodate various stages of life from a young child’s magical playground to a “cool” place for teenagers to hang out, to a peaceful place to wile away the afternoon reading a book. With the highest level of craftsmanship, Cheeky Monkey Treehouses can design your dream tree house to your personal requirements.
OUR DESIGNS
Every Cheeky Monkey Treehouse is individually designed and custom built. The timber materials used are #1 grade cedar and pressure-treated pine sourced from sustainable managed forests. Our tree houses are based on a sturdy, insulated, water tight log cabin design with a fully finished interior. They are available in various shapes and sizes incorporating bunk beds, trapdoors, platforms and many other accessories. Every tree house is engineered to a high level of safety, strength and durability.
PRICE GUIDE
All Cheeky Monkey Treehouses are individual, therefore individually priced. Our tree houses start from $16,000. During a site visit we will give an indication of cost for the proposed design. Once a design has been produced an exact price will be attached with the approved drawing.
STRUCTURE
Our tree houses are engineered to last within the constants of materials used and tree capabilities. We ensure the highest quality of craftsmanship and care throughout the construction process and build with minimal maintenance in mind to ensure longevity. Our treehouses do not rely on primary structural support from a tree, but are rather built similar to a deck with sturdy posts attached to concrete footings. While Cheeky Monkey Treehouses strive to ensure your safety, due to the changing nature of a living tree, cracks and warping may appear. These are natural characteristics of wood and do not necessarily result in structural failure. We are happy to offer annual maintenance along with a structural stability check, please ask for more details.
SITE VISIT
During a site visit photographs, dimensions, sketches, information and ideas will be gathered. We will also advise and make suggestions with an estimate of cost.
When you decide to proceed, Cheeky Monkey Treehouses will gladly design and produce a personalized 3 dimensional scaled drawing(s). There is a charge of $500 for the design and drawing, which will be deducted from your original estimate if Cheeky Monkey Treehouses undertakes the build.
Once a design has been agreed upon, we can then place the tree house into the work schedule and a confirmed date can be given for the commencement of work. We always give a realistic start time. Occasionally minor alterations from the original design drawings are necessary due to the complexity of a tree house design.
PERMITTING
A permit may be required depending on the size of tree house and location. Please check with your local building department for information.
If the proposed treehouse is within sight of your neighbor, we always advise that you inform them of your intentions to avoid any future issues. If a structure is going to be attached to a tree(s), it is advisable to check for any tree preservation order (TPO) placed on the tree(s). Your town can advise you if any trees on your land have a TPO on them. A professional tree surgeon should also check the condition of the proposed tree(s).
Although we will strive to give you the best advice, all planning issues including, but not solely limited to, permits and Tree Preservation Orders, are the full and complete responsibility of the homeowner. Cheeky Monkey Treehouses can not be liable for any cost/action incurred by any issues arising from the installation of your treehouse.
