Talk:treehouse
3m is quite high, I'm sure there are many that are not that high ;) 20.133.0.14 08:44, 13 May 2005
I think it is more important to discribe what a thing should be like than what people are making out of it. Otherwise we would loose all kinds of values and assets because people corrupt things.
Just think about religion !!
In consideration of the purpose and advantages of a treehouse it would not make any sense building one less than 3m high. I`m a treehouse-architect and not even interestet in anything less than 20m !
Treehouses can be 50m, 70m high
Eucalyptus trees reach 140m...

You have not understood what I wrote above.
- If you are trying to be humorous, then you are correct: we didn't get your joke.
- If you are not trying to be humorous, then what you say is poorly articulated. Are you suggesting there are houses in trees, where people have their primary residence? Where would that be? Here, (US) a treehouse is a child's play area. It would unsafe to build one higher then 3m for young children...most I've seen have been at about 2m off the ground. Are you perhaps trying to describe a bird's nest? --Connel MacKenzie 12:28, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
a treehouse should be a house in a tree. If somebody builds a small cabin for his children without any installations that a regular house has so you can live in it it`s not a treehouse.
It is very sad that most old-growth forest and trees are logged down worldwide and people can`t imagine what a real treehouse is.
I`m reluctant to give up that reality though, just for little childrens playhouses.
I know many people dream of living in a real treehouse, without having a complete picture of how that can look like. I`m trying to be a treehouse-achitect and I want to shape the image of treehouses correctly.

- Besides the definition, you have failed to cite any sources that actually drop the hyphen in the word "tree-house." I see no evidence that the compound word "treehouse" is commonly used anywhere in written English. I recommend that this unhyphenated form of the existing entry should be deleted from Wiktionary.org as long its citations page continues to lack significant sources. --Velpaedia Jenkuklordanus 02:45, Friday, October 29, 2010 (UTC)
- It's very often written unhyphenated; see [1]. Equinox ◑ 21:11, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
