A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of two or more independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions such as "and," "but," or "or." In the sentence "To build a treehouse, you would need wood, a hammer, a saw, and a lot of nails," there are multiple independent clauses - "To build a treehouse" and "you would need wood, a hammer, a saw, and a lot of nails" - joined by the coordinating conjunction "and." This makes the sentence a compound sentence.
