When do you need a Dynamic Support?

• A Dynamic Support is only needed if you are building in several trees and they swing in the wind. If all the supports were fixed, the joints would be torn with every gust of wind!

When do you not need a Dynamic Support?

• If all your trees at the attachment point are thicker than ø 60 cm and the platform is relatively close to the ground, the logs there will only move minimally – then you don’t need a slide bearing.
• With triangular constructions you always need a fixed bearing at the top, with a sliding bearing the construction would tilt sideways.

What should be considered?

• Always use the Dynamic Support in combination with Static Support! The Static Support is installed on the most solid tree, this is the fixed anchor point of your platform.
• With the Dynamic Support (thin trunk) the platform is then movably mounted – so the trees can swing freely.
• Make sure that the Dynamic Support cannot slide completely outwards, otherwise the lever arm becomes very large and the screw could be overloaded – use Distance Rings for this!
