I realize this thread is over a year old, but this setup sounds quite close to mine and I'd like to know how things ended up. Can you post photos? or link to photos? I'm starting a treehouse project myself and I'm debating on how to support the platform. I'm leaning toward the TAB supports, which it sounds like you used. Any more information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
