"TREE ATTACHMENT BOLTS (TABS) ARE UNEQUIVOCALLY THE BEST WAY TO ATTACH TREEHOUSES TO TREES."
Pete Nelson, Leading Authority in Modern Treehouse Building

most TREE-FRIENDLY

If the tree had a say in it...
... he would certainly ask you to build your treehouse using the Garnier Limb TAB (tree attachment bolt) technique, which has been tested and monitored by the most prominent tree enthusiasts and treehouse builders for decades.

​When compared to other 'popular' techniques that use the tree as support, what makes this technique stand out can be summed up in some strong bullet points:
  1. Minimal damaged surface
  2. Maximal respect for nutrition channels
  3. Healthiest load distribution technique
  4. Healthiest on the long term, allows free tree growth
"THE INITIAL SCEPTICISM THAT THE TREE WOULD BE SEVERELY DAMAGED BY TABS LOSES ITS SIGNIFICANCE WHEN YOU CONSIDER HOW ADAPTABLE AND RESISTANT MATURE, VITAL TREES ARE."
Vitus Wahlländer, Treehouse Structural Engineer & Founder of thetreehouseshop.com

Focus on safety, solidity and durability
At the center of everything stands the tree. It is crucial to assess the tree well when considering it to hold up a treehouse. Mainly, the tree must be healthy and strong enough to carry the intended load. But choosing the right attachment method for each specific case and applying it right is almost as important. And that's where we come in!

What makes the TABS we use stand out can be summed up in some strong bullet points:
  1. Best load distribution technique, uses the trees load capacities in the most efficient way which makes it the technique with the highest load bearing capacities of all
  2. Most support possibilities/most versatile technique thanks to specially developed hardware for multiple different cases
  3. No structural harm as tree moves or grows
  4. Way less need for maintenance
  5. Most (optional) safety features/options
  6. Overall best and structurally safest long-term technique
"THE TREE WILL INTEGRATE THE TAB INTO ITS SYSTEM LIKE AN ADDITIONAL BRANCHE. THE BOLT MIGHT LOOK BRUTAL AND INTRUSIVE, BUT ITS EFFECT IS THE OPPOSITE: IT IS GENERALLY THE BEST AND GENLEST METHOD."
Christopher Richter & Miriam Rüggeberg, Author & Founder of Baumbaron (+200 unique treehouse builds)

  1. Allows for most creative builds by far

THE 'OTHER' OPTION

Are pillars a safer option?
​Hard to say. Whilst a treehouse on pillars might look way safer than bolts at first glance, one should not forget the roots when ....

What makes this technique stand out can be summed up in some strong bullet points:
  1. Best load distribution technique, uses the trees load capacities in the most efficient way which makes it the technique with the highest load bearing capacities of all
  2. Most support possibilities/most versatile technique thanks to specially developed hardware for multiple different cases
  3. Lesser entretien/aanpassingen

  5. Overall best and structurally safest long-term technique
FACTS
✔ A global survey of 18 professional treehouse builders (with Pete Nelson among other prominent treehouse pioneers) shows that out of 2253 built treehouses, only two led to the death of the tree. This is LESS THAN 1 IN A THOUSAND!
