How Does a Tree Tent Differ from a Traditional Treehouse?

Unlike traditional treehouses that are built into trees, our Tree Tents are suspended, allowing for a lightweight, non-invasive installation that protects the environment and fully immerses guests in nature. Engineered for year-round comfort, they feature insulation, a wood-fired stove, a skylight, furniture and durable materials. They're also highly customisable; allowing you to configure the colour scheme and layout that works for you.

Why Are Tree-Based Accommodations So Popular?

Tree-based stays offer a unique, nostalgic experience with scientifically proven health benefits. Research shows that time spent in nature reduces stress, improves sleep, and enhances well-being. Guests consistently report a sense of peace, relaxation, and rejuvenation while staying in a Tree Tent.

How Sustainable Are Tree Tents International Products?

Sustainability is at the core of our design and company culture. We use eco-friendly, responsibly sourced materials, such as:

• Garnica Duraply Plywood – Lightweight, durable, and sustainably harvested.

• Aluminium Frameworks – Rust-resistant, strong, and made to last.

• Marine-Grade Canvas – Durable, waterproof and looks great for years - just give it a scrub with soap and water now and then.

Our modular structures allow for easy repairs and upgrades, ensuring long lifespans and minimal maintenance costs—a key advantage for long-term ROI.

How Easy Are Tree Tents and Other Structures to Install?

Our accommodations are designed for quick, minimal-impact installation. Most units can be set up in a few days using basic tools, eliminating the need for heavy machinery. Tree Tents require just two sturdy trees and can be installed in under 48 hours. Our in-house team are experts in this (of course!) and can help with all aspects of planning and installation.

Can I Customise my Structure?

Yes! Each of our structures is customisable, and can be branded, too. You can pick from a range of colours, layouts and furnishing options to create your perfect haven. The Okra Dining Pod is also available in 2, 4, 6 or 8 seater options.

And whilst the Tree Tent only comes in one size (3m x 3m - perfect for sleeping 1 to 3 guests), we specialise in making our structures work perfectly with your site. Tree Tent village, anyone?
