Check with the building codes in your area before you build the structure. The last and least most favorable solution would be a trip to the local bushes. This presents a poor image to new climbers while creating a sanitary strain to the local area. If you are working with a large group, scrap this idea. Women won t be game to this idea either.
Privacy is hard to find when there is a group of climbers high in the tree.
You'll need to care for your climbing tree once it has been selected. The first job consists of clearing out dangerous dead branches and irritating sucker shoots that grow off the trunk and large branches. You can use a hand-pruning saw for this task if the branches and suckers aren't too large. If dead branches are large requiring a chain saw and are positioned over houses or other structures, call in a professional. Place gravel under the tree if you expect a lot of foot traffic.
