Fort Doublefun is a wonderful combination of twos: 2 slides, 2 swings, 2 flagpoles, 2 playhouses, 2 play accessories (drop leaf table & chairs plus Ship's Wheel) and 2 ways up via the Ship's Ladder & an extra-large Rock Climbing wall. Perfect for a gang of kids of all ages.

Corner Playhouse is designed to fit in any corner, up against a wall or fence, with minimum intrusion into the yard and maximum, fun play features. A small dynamo of a playhouse with a rock climbing wall, firepole, rung ladder, upper & lower play space and interior drop leaf table with 2 drop seats!

Adoorable Treehouse is fabricated from beautiful, old salvage doors collected by the client over many years and stored in their garage. Barbara fabricated the redwood frame around the doors, even using a single French door with glass panes as the skylight.  A Rope-n-Rung ladder leads up to the redwood Entrance Platform. Step through the front door into a unique room made from doors!

This custom Treehouse is built around 2 magnificent trees with a 16' long Swinging Bridge connecting the large Clubhouse with multiple decks on one end to the 3 levels of Tree Decks with Zip Line ride on the other end. Beautiful, elegant and fun!

Minnesota Treehouse nestles deep in the woods near an inviting lake, just waiting for kids to come take a Zip Line ride, climb the Rope-n-Rung ladder, cross the Swinging Bridge and hang-out at the Clubhouse with interior loft and firepole.  The Clubhouse is full of light from the overhead skylight and 4 windows with pull-up shutters. Left rustic with only a tinted tung-oil finish, this treehouse will weather beautifully to a silver gray.

Hillside Tree Forts turns the side of this hill into a fantastic play space - 4 different Tree Forts built into 4 different giant, knurly trees, with swinging bridge, monkey bars, super slide, firepole, rope net ladder, clubhouse and tree-to-tree Zip Line ride. So big a space it can't be shown in one image! 

The Activity Center is designed to provide plenty of challenging fun in a tight, controlled space. The 4 corner play stations are the launching point for each activity: Swing, Monkey Bars, Rings, and Track Ride.
