Adding posts and fencing to a tree platform

[yabai]

Hi,

i am building a tree house/platform for the kids. So far I have cemented in three posts (4" by 4"). I have then joined these posts together with wood and various fixings to make a secure platform.

I now want to put a wall around the platform. I have 3" by 3" posts which I want to secure onto the bigger posts I cemented into the ground. Once these are secured I can then join them together and panel.

What fixings can I use to secure the thinner posts to the platform? It needs to be safe as children will lean on the walls when they are in. Do you think two corner brackets will be safe enough? Is there a fixing that could screw into the top of the thicker legs and then the posts screw onto that?

Cheers for any advice.

Oh no, not again If you’ve no near neighbours you may get away with it but do you realise you need Planning Permission for it;

which your most unlikely to get.

I would also sugest you review your methods of construction if you want your kids to survive unharmed.
