Talk:Tree house

Tree houses and tree forts
Should tree houses be considered a kind of "Fort"? There should be a distinction, forts are for defensive purposes, and houses for living in.


 * Apparently not when it comes to tree houses and tree forts. Pascal.Tesson 00:35, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * There are about 20 companies making their living by building treehouses - not forts ! Maybe it`s up to them to work on these articles...

 * A treefort is a treehouse. These two articles need work and input from people in the business.


 * I think there is a distinction; regular tree houses are build next to the tree, with the platform below it suspended on it (which can also be next to the tree, with a ring around it or even with bolts, ... ; tree forts seem to be entirely build around the tree, often with 1 or 2 platforms entirely around the tree; see an example

merge tree fort in here
I don't mind making a distinction between tree houses and tree forts but the content is better organized if this is done within a single article. Pascal.Tesson 16:59, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, the subjects can be adequately distinguished in one page, merge them. Vicarious 03:28, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The merge sounds like a great idea. Go for it. Edison 17:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Can you build a tree house in your front yard, in sun prairie?
Can you? bcause my kids want one and the only tree we can have it in is the one in the front. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.50.68.4 (talk) 20:33, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Merge from Children's den
Children's den has been proposed for deletion. I am suggesting merging the content into Tree house as an alternative to deletion. Tree house needs more coverage for its use by children. The major impediment to merging is the lack of sourcing at Children's den. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  14:44, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Is this a British term? The only link to this is from the British film A Canterbury Tale: 'Many local people, including a lot of young boys, were recruited as extras for the extensive scenes of children's outdoor activities such as river "battles" and dens.'


 * When I search on this term from Ohio, Google suggests this or this, i.e. indoor "dens" as in den (room). I think Americans would only think of outdoor dens as something animals live in, and they wouldn't necessarily be located up high in the trees. – wbm1058 (talk) 23:18, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing it's a British or other non-American term. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs) 🎄  00:45, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
