Stein Dual 'Impact loading'

[RC0]

This was a 75-80ft Beech, condemned due to meripilus.

 

‘Protect our lawn’ was the word, so we did our best.

 

Thankfully I was able to tie-in and escape when needed to the adjacent beech....I also set up a support line to share the load when folding the top. ...I’d have otherwise had to go significantly smaller such was the extent of decay down below.

 

Difficult to let the sections run with them being quite long and landing close to the LD....but with the appropriate hardware we were able to confidently bring them to an abrupt halt where need be.

 

Some photos of the latter stages. Thanks
