The World Treehouse and Zipline Conference was once again held at Michael Garnier’s wonderful treesort, Out ‘n About Treehouses.

This conference provides a once a year opportunity for everyone from novice to professional to get together to share and learn the latest about treehouse and zipline design and construction.  You can stay in one of Michael’s famous treehouses or campout.  This wonderful venue, the great food, and interesting people make this an outstanding event! John Shulters, president of Ascension Studios, gave an all day workshop on using technologic for treehouse design.  John presented easy to use photographic equipment and techniques that can be used to create digital 3D images of trees, which can in turn serve as the foundation for the treehouse designing process.  This creates a scale accurate framework for using various 3D modeling programs such as Sketchup and 3DSMax  to design your treehouse. There were additional workshops and presentations on tree climbing skills and equipment, tree health evaluations, and treehouse building hardware. Put the WTZC on your calendars now for October 2014!
