Treehouses bring out the kid in everyone. Whether for a child in your life or as a relaxing getaway, a treehouse is a fun project to build that can test your creativity and be incredibly rewarding. That’s why Popular Woodworking Books is working with professional treehouse builder Django Kroner, owner of The Canopy Crew, to create a book on how to build treehouses the right way (projected publication date of June 2016). From backyard getaways to elaborate treetop vacation retreats, the book will give you ideas, inspiration and the important foundational know-how you need to build a treehouse that is safe for you and for the tree. To give readers some more insight into the project, we sat down with the author to chat about his background and what his book will offer.

Really interesting to see woodworking and treehouse design featured in a popular magazine. Projects like these show how craftsmanship, creativity, and careful planning come together to create something truly special. That same attention to detail is part of what makes games like Crazy Cattle 3D so enjoyable and engaging.
Treehouses always bring back that childhood sense of creativity, and it’s interesting to see the focus on building them safely and thoughtfully. On quieter evenings when I’m not working on hands-on projects, I usually unwind with something simple like the Rocket Goal game. It’s a light, fun way to relax without overthinking things.
Building a treehouse is one of those creative projects that blends craftsmanship, imagination, and a bit of childhood nostalgia into something truly memorable. It’s great to see experienced builders like Django Kroner sharing practical advice on designing safe and durable treehouses while still encouraging creativity and adventure. After reading about fun DIY projects like this, relaxing with a few rounds of Undead Corridor can be a great way to enjoy some action-packed entertainment indoors.
I really enjoyed the way this piece highlights craftsmanship and intention in treehouse building. Working with wood at that level feels less like construction and more like creating a living space that respects nature. That mindset resonates strongly with places designed for mindful stays, where structure and surroundings matter equally. It’s one of the reasons I’m drawn to destinations that offer a Yurt Retreat experience, blending natural materials, thoughtful design, and a sense of calm. Whether it’s a treehouse or a celestial-style yurt, the idea of sleeping in a handcrafted space, surrounded by forest energy, adds depth to rest, reflection, and connection with the environment.
