Freedom in the design of triangular constructions – a new development from ‘The Treehouse Shop’!

The “V-Bracket” and “45°-Diamond Bracket” supports enable the construction of triangular constructions. In contrast to the “Diamond Bracket“, the “V-Bracket” has a freely adjustable angle of maximum 60°. This allows you to design your triangle completely freely and to fit it into the tree in such a way that it avoids branches and optimally supports your platform.

Product Details

Variable angle (max. 60° acute) gives scope for designing the triangle
Can also be used as individual parts (e.g. individual side braces)
Chamfered screw holes: 8 x ø 8 mm each for wood screws, 1 x ø 12 mm for carriage bolt, guarantee optimum fastening of the wooden beams

Please read the Hardware Info before buying!

Technical Data

DIN quality steel
Black KTL coating
Weight: 2810 g
Sheet thickness: 4 mm
Height of triangle over axis of GTS: 29 mm

Field of application

Small to medium-sized platforms
One-sided cantilevered, eccentric platforms
Prefer “2-D platform constructions”
Bypassing branches
Pointed 60° angle for very large vertical loads

Difference “45°-Diamond-Bracket” and “V-Bracket”:

The V-bracket has a freely adjustable angle: from 60° acute to completely open. The advantage of this is that you can bypass interfering branches and have maximum leeway in the design of the platform (eccentric platforms)
If you work with different angles, the dimensioning and cutting of the timbers becomes a little more demanding.
Although it is possible to build “3D triangular constructions” with the V-Bracket, this also becomes somewhat more difficult due to the lack of a continuous back wall.

Caution: The 2 parts of the “V-Bracket” must always be used together. NEVER fix individual struts with the individual parts, otherwise the steel sheet may fail!!!!

Installation

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

Caution: The 2 parts of the “V-Bracket” must always be used together. NEVER fix individual struts with the individual parts, otherwise the steel sheet may fail!!!!

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.
