Installation Instructions
Please follow our installation instructions exactly – this is the only way to ensure a permanently secure attachment!
What do you need?
- Pre-drill wooden brace: 24 mm Auger Bit
Pipe spanner or open-ended spanner for height adjustment plate M24 (SW 36)
Working steps:
The wooden strut should have a cross-section of at least 9×9 cm. Select the desired location on the tree and platform. Mark the drill hole and install the GTS. The plate should be turned almost all the way down (towards the centre of the strut). Now put your wooden strut on the plate. Assemble everything and clamp your plate and strut firmly. Finally, screw the plate and strut together with five ø 6 x 100 wood screws.
Alternatively, the “Strut Support Platform” allows you to use steel tube struts! The inner diameter of the tube should be between ø 25 -26 – so you can slide the tube over the strut. The wall thickness should be > 8 mm, depending on the length and load.
Note:
- The strut / GTS may sag a little during the first load – it is best to screw the plate and strut together after the final load has been applied to the platform.
- The strut may only be loaded under lengthwise pressure.
