Because DIY doors are not prehung, you’ll need to build your own jambs and door stop using the basic configuration above.

A Dutch door has a top and a bottom that open independently (or together if you connect them).

Building Roofs

This is it. The home stretch. You’re about to become a certified treehouse builder. Or certifiable, depending on how the project has gone. By now your hands are a little callused and your skills honed. That’s good, because roof framing usually requires some experimentation and trial-and-error. Oh, yes, and patience.

If you framed your walls with extreme care and everything came out square and perfectly level, you could design your roof frame on paper and use mathematical calculations to find all the angles and locate the necessary cuts. But because you’re building in a tree, it can safely be assumed that you improvised here and there and had to wing it on occasion, or you might not be the type who cares much for calculations. At any rate, most treehouse roof building works best with a cut-to-fit approach.

After the framing is done, you’ll sheath the roof and install the roofing material. If the roof is free of intervening tree parts, you stand a good chance of keeping the interior of the house dry. If there are penetrations, you can try to seal them, but you should still find another place to store your signed copy of Swiss Family Robinson.
