On Tuesday, July 14th, Master Tree Climber and Franklin Resident, Tim Kovar,  will appear on the DIY Network show “The Treehouse Guys.”

The Treehouse Guys are a partnership of Chris “Ka-V” Haake and James “B’fer” Roth and an assorted cast of characters (craftsmen, that is). Ka-V left his cave in New Jersey to explore the trees of Vermont, where he met B’fer, who was at the time, a rustic furniture maker in Waitsfield. The two worked in the shop and then started building treehouses together in the fall of 2000 for the non-profit organization, Forever Young Treehouses.

Eleven years later, and over 50 treehouses designed and built, the two branched out to form The Treehouse Guys. They are based in Warren, VT but travel all over to bring special treehouses to their clients. With their 15+ years experience they bring skill, knowledge and creativity to the job.

Kovar says, “He had friends who builds tree houses  around the country and they were approached about building a treehouse for “The Treehouse Guys.”   Kovar was on site assisting in the build stating, “it was important to build the treehouse to complement the branch growth and the dance of the tree when the winds are a howling.”
