Shipping & Delivery
The position of the beams is important!
1. Tree growth: Trees grow 5–15 mm in diameter each year (annual rings). The more freely the tree can grow, the better!
2. Lever arm and load: The further out the beam, the greater the lever arm and the lower the load capacity of the GTS!
3. Trees sway in storms: This movement must be possible, otherwise the support structure and tree may be damaged.
A compromise between tree growth, movement and controlled load bearing must therefore be found!
How many rings do I need and where?
Not all GTS need to be equipped with rings! The best way to find out how many rings you need is to draw your platform with trees and GTS from a bird's eye view.
Platform as a fixed unit
When the floor joists (white) and support structure (brown) are bolted together, the platform forms a fixed unit – and all beam brackets are firmly connected to each other. It is therefore often sufficient to position one of the beam brackets with rings (red) in the desired position; the other beam brackets are then automatically limited within this clearance (green).
Fix the triangle at the top
With a triangular construction, the upper wooden beam is completely fixed. The lower Tribeam Bracket only needs rings on the tree side, as it is loaded in this direction anyway.
