Installation

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

How it works

• Two GTS bolts are fixed one above the other, with a distance of 1,3 to 2,5 m: On the upper one, the cross beam is fixed by means of Static Support fastened.
• To prevent it from tipping over, the cross beam is braced with a tree screw underneath and the V-bracket – a stable triangular construction.

Installation 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)
• Attention with crooked trunks and root curvature at the trunk base! Take into account the inclination of the tree and branches – it is best to test with a gauge made of full-size wooden slats
• For fixing 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.
