Installation Instructions

Please follow our installation instructions exactly – this is the only way to ensure a permanently secure attachment!

How it works:

• Two GTS are fastened one above the other, with a distance of 1.3 to 2.5 m.
• The cross beam is fastened to the upper GTS by means of a Static Support
• To prevent it from tipping, the cross beam is braced with a GTS underneath and the V-Bracket – a stable triangular construction.

Assembly tips:

• Vertical screw spacing min. 1.3 m; max. 2.5 m.
• Recommended for triangular constructions with a timber width of 7 to 12 cm.
• The larger the triangle, the more stable
• The more acute the lower triangle angle, the more load is transferred vertically.
• The more open the angle, the flatter the triangle, the more headroom under the platform – but also the more horizontal load for the lower GTS screw, which is not necessarily good (especially in softwood)
• Be careful with crooked trunks and root curvature at the base of the trunk! Consider the inclination of the tree and the branches – it is best to test with a gauge made of wooden slats in original size.
• To fix the supports we recommend ø 6-8 mm stainless steel screws (small holes), and ø 10-12 mm carriage bolts or hexagonal wood screws (large holes).
• It is best to prefabricate the wooden triangle together with the V-bracket on the floor.
