Bespoke Garden Build

A Reclaimed-Pallet Treehouse Den

Northamptonshire

When a beautiful Salix contorta was lost to disease over winter, we kept the trunk in place and used it to support a hand-built treehouse from reclaimed pallet wood — a sneaky little hideout (and water-bomb HQ) tucked into the planted border.

  • Built on a repurposed tree trunk
  • Reclaimed pallet-wood cladding
  • Pitched shingle roof
  • Open viewing hatch
  • Hand-built timber ladder
  • Tucked into a planted border
