It's not the treehouse so much as the tree I'd be worried about. Today's treehouse hardware is all designed to ensure the tree can move freely (which, in turn, will help avoid transfer of stresses to the tree house as well). | |

So by using the tire we increase protection of the tree but also increase the risk of the treehouse falling down earlier in its lifespan? | |
| Jan 5, 2015 at 14:36 | comment | added | DA01 | @statHacker you could try it. My concern with that is that a tire has a lot of friction and I don't know that it'd let the beam smoothly move back and forth over it. | |
