Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Treehouses shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Treehouses offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Treehouses at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Treehouses? Wrong! If the Treehouses is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Treehouses then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Treehouses? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Treehouses and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Treehouses wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Treehouses then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Treehouses site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Treehouses, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Treehouses, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Tree houses, treehouses, or tree forts, are buildings constructed among the branches or next to the Trunk (botany) of one or more mature trees, and are some distance off the ground. They can be, but are not necessarily, designed for permanent habitation. Generally, the term "tree fort" is used only for recreational structures and not permanent homes.

In some parts of the tropics, ordinary houses for living are built in trees or elevated on stilts to the same level as the trees, to keep the living quarters above hazards at ground level. They can also be used for storing food out of reach of scavenger animals.

Tree houses are the only solution for building of eco-friendly facilities in some remote forest-areas. The wildlife, climate and illumination on ground-level in areas of dense close-canopy (forest) forest is not suitable for human habitation.

As of 2007, there are over 20 architectural businesses in Europe and North America that specialize in building treehouses of various degrees of permanence and sophistication, from children's play structures to fully-functioning homes.

Tree houses are also built out of recycled materials and lived in by environmental protest communities all over the world. They are used as a method of defence, as it is difficult and costly for companies to evict the protesters and commence destruction of the environment.

Although they have traditionally been of wood, experimentation with new technologies and innovative fabrics has led to the development of viable temporary living structures that are more like "tree tents" than tree houses. These have recently been used by scientists documenting the flora and fauna of the little-researched upper canopies of tropical forests. See also
