Kilcock, on the Enfield road out there's a timber yard. The chap does all sorts of fencing panels/posts etc. I've heard he's quiet reasonable and does deliver.
As reguards building a treehouse, use pressure treated timber as it will last longer, also use 3" or 4" screws as opposed to nails and it shouldn't loosen up over time. Put a roof on it so it can be used in the rain and make a deasent quality stairs/ladder with handrail for peace of mind.
