Branch Swing.

[High Scale]

Example of pretensioned lowering line, it worked very nicely unlike a later one I didn't bother to pretension which smashed two brick buttresses off the neighbors wall.

 

Tree is/was a Holm Oak and yes, it was raining.

Looked smooth. How did you pretension the load?

Fiddle block, that was the only limb we could do like that, the rest had to lower off it's self with a extra pulley into the neighboring garden, it was just too long and heavy and the drag from the neighbors was about the same anyway.

You got some pics of the set-up Carl? Sounds like alot dragging was avoided, which is good, especially if you don't want to piss yer groundies off ! lol

Well, Mr Tee took some pics of the same set up on Tuesday that he posted on the Treehouse.

Trouble is the access was crap so it didn't really make any difference, three of us on it yesterday, four today, Danners climbing plus they have to go back one day next week to finish the job, the guy that priced it said "Easy day for three" and priced it at 500 quid.

I hate getting my arse kicked on jobs like that. You end up paying more in bloody wages than you get from the customer

 

I see where the thread at the Treehouse was going now!
