Tree Pods: The Next Big Thing

Why would you want a gazebo when you could have a number of tree pods in your own back yard?  A Canadian company in BC has developed ‘Free Spirit Spheres’ which let you live your dream of living hanging out in a pod house.  The company markets them as being cool for relaxation, meditation, photography, and bird watching.

“Spheres can be hung from the trees as shown or from any other solid objects like buildings or rock faces.  A web of rope is connected to any strong points available.  This replaces the foundation of a conventional building.  A suspended tree house uses the forest for its foundation.  The occupants have a vested interest in the health of the grove.  The supporting web also mirrors our connectedness to our surroundings.  Each sphere has four attachments on top and another four anchor points on the bottom. Each attachment is strong enough to carry the entire sphere and contents.” (Free Spirit Spheres)
