Would you climb this?

[Gerbutt]

Not really, they're only half the height of this one, been topped, it sticks out probably 10 to 15 foot past them.

[Gerbutt]

It's quite a bigish shed, with electric and new to the chap who owns it. The green house isn't that big. It's the chap who owns the other shed and green house that I'll be doing it for. The tree's in the garden of a real old lady that he's friends with. What other equiptment are you thinking of to dismantle it?

Id get a MEWP round mate,have you not seen my driving skills with one:001_tongue:

[Mick Stockbridge]

It's a no brainer mate. Just let the insurers foot the bill for dropping it and the subsequent damage and av done with it. It aint like anyone's been hurt......yet!

[Matthew Arnold]

I was gonna say maybe crane it out. But if ya cant get a mewp in then the reach would be too great for a crane to lift it out. Plus the insurers would be having kittens if ya told them how you were gonna remove it.

Ha ha, if you were just going to run it over with a mewp I may as well just fell it:lol:

[Mesterh]

Quite possibly.

 

I have climbed trees like this before but they have been stable enough and I have propped them up a bit even if it was with just some ladders to take the weight a little.

 

If it does go though while your up there, well being pinned between that and a greenhouse wont be much fun.

 

Its going to be very awkward though if theres a green house right underneath chogging it down, and is it worth taking the risk of climbing and still flattening the green house?

[Mark Bolam]

Throwbag into the top, send a rope up and hang two of you off the rope.

 

If it doesn't shift any further you could climb it slowly cutting and chucking as you go. With some weight off it might even start to sit up.

 

If it does shift, you probably won't need to worry about the shed and greenhouse any more......

 

Good luck with it whatever. I'll watch the 'stunt fell' thread with interest.

[D Barry]

anyway of bracing it with a tirfor? and hang two of you off rope to test it? and find a sudden interest in whether god listens to prayers? good luck...

[Rob D]

Could you get a line into it (near top but where main stem still has strength) and onto a pulley in the connys on the left. Then down to a friction device (portawrap etc). Then a line to the same place - take out to the right and onto a tirfor winch. Try and get a couple of 6 by 6s under the main stem 6 foot up to pivot on and then pull the whole lot round to the right with the tirfor with someone paying out on the portawrap.

 

 

 

Great fun
