Treehouse for visitor centre play area
This project follows many others that Cleveland Sitesafe has successfully completed for the RSPB at Fairburn Ings and other sites.

This project follows many others that Cleveland Sitesafe has successfully completed for the RSPB at Fairburn Ings and other sites.
Cleveland Sitesafe had previously supplied three vandal-resistant steel bird hides and one viewing shelter at the Fairburn site, and more recently a visitor centre at the neighbouring RSPB St Aidan's site.
John Hodgson, General Manager explained: "we were a little surprised to be asked to design and supply a treehouse, as our first thoughts were: did they have a strong enough tree to support one of our heavy duty steel structures?" It turned out that the brief was for a self-supporting structure so it wasn't a problem, and after a few redesigns we came up with the current structure."
The heavy-duty box-section steel married with timber cladding and colour of the climbing wall handholds, creates an impressive structure, nestled in a woodland glade at the visitor centre play area.
