Assembly & construction instructions
Load Capacity up to 1,500 kg
The load capacity per Strut Connector T-Plate should not exceed 1500 kg (at 45° pressure towards the tree). Two struts can be mounted on the GTS Allstar. Make sure that the GTS is not overloaded!
Plenty of design freedom
Installation is as easy as usual. The angle of the strut can be freely selected. The load should press the GTS towards the centre of the trunk. For very long supports, the buckling length can be reduced by adding intermediate struts.
Robust slot
The slot for the 8 mm sheet metal must be sawn out in the centre. You can do this either with a carpentry chainsaw, as shown here, or with a normal chainsaw. Simply attach two wooden slats as guide rails to saw out the slot precisely.
