Strut-Connector Safety
Dimensions & Technical Data
Dimensions for strut
Wooden beams:
- Square timber length < 2 m (6,6 ft): 9 × 9 cm
- Square timber length < 3 m (9,8 ft): 12 × 12 cm
- Maximum strut length 3 m (9,8 ft)
Steel tube:
- Remove Hex Nut (angle grinder)
- Tube inner diameter: 25 - 28 mm
- Wall thickness depending on length and load 4 - 10 mm
- Maximum strut length 3 m (9,8 ft)
Assembly: Quick guide
- The strut must be firmly connected to the platform at the top with several long wood screws and, in case of high loads, additionally with a steel plate.
- The length of the strut to the tree can be measured roughly; it is better to leave it a little too long and saw it off later.
- Once a suitable spot on the tree has been found, pre-drill the GTS Safety with ø 24 mm and screw it into the tree.
- Then pre-drill the Strut Connector, assemble it and adjust it to the desired length with the turntable and screw it tight.

Assembly & construction instructions
Height adjustable
The height-adjustable disc allows the length of the strut to be adjusted retrospectively, making it easy to raise and lower the platform and position it perfectly in the water. To adjust, you will need a 36 mm open-end wrench (M24) or a pipe wrench, with an extension if necessary.
Super flexible installation
Here is a nice example of how easy it is to install the struts. The beam is cut to length at a 90° angle at the bottom and can be mounted at any point on the tree – no complicated angle cuts and no precision work. The tree can grow undisturbed and integrate the thin steel strut.
Load Capacity depending on tree
The load capacity per strut with the GTS Safety should not exceed 800 kg. It is therefore particularly suitable for smaller projects or for stabilising wobbly platform areas. If you want to install stronger struts, it is better to use the Strut Connector GTS or T-Plate.
