A summary

Learn how to make a simple non-permanent platform in the trees; great for the base of a tree house, or it could be used as a look out post, use it to get on to a zip wire, or even as a pirate ship!
Learn how to risk assess the trees, what wood to use and how to fix the platform in the trees.
Make a fixed wooden ladder & a rope ladder to get up to your platform.

You will be using square lashing to create the beams and the platform, and use a marlin spike hitch to create a really quick easy rope ladder to climb up to your platform. You will also learn how to make a solid ladder.

Cancellation policy

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
