This thread is a MAJOR CLAIM.

Now that that is out of the way this may be the first Summer Set-Up Treehouses ever, but i have been working hard on it for a while now and i just wanted to CLAIM how epic it is. It is a 2 ramp set-up (1 normal, 1 urban) with endless options of rails. It is about 95% complete, just need to touch it up in some places and reinforce it a bit more. I had to use a tree cuz i my hill is not steep enough and i wanted to save wood. Plus the lower platform was already there. PM me if you want more dimensions. Here are some pictures of it.

Why not an artsy one too.

Rails in arsenal:
-8ft flat box
-10ft single barrel down rail
-10ft flat rail
-10ft single barrel flat rail
-10ft double barrel flat rail

This is gonna be an epic summer!

Fuck you..........FOR HAVING AN AWESOME SETUP.  Definitely needed a claim.  That is truly dope.  I wish I had some land, damn suburbs.  How do you like it so far?  You should so consider making some sort of stair case for the urban setup.

Those are awesome.  You guys could have a night time session and then hang out and tell ghost stories. 

Kids a few houses down from me have a setup that starts from the top of their roof.  They built a platform, but decided that using the roof was better.  I will be posting vid when we session it.  Also, someone needs to set up a rail over a pool.
