My son wants to build a treehouse. What are the safety requirements for a treehouse?

Safety requirements for a treehouse will vary depending on the size and complexity of the structure, but generally it is recommended that any treehouse built in close proximity to power lines should be at least 10 feet above ground level, away from overhead wires or other potential hazards. Additionally, treehouses should be securely anchored into the tree with strong straps and braces to prevent them from tipping over in high winds. Treehouses should also be made with materials that can withstand extreme weather conditions such as rain, snow, wind and sun. Finally, all electrical wiring should be inspected by a qualified electrician prior to use.
