negative rigging of smallish timber

[karl1991]

Hi all just a quick question,

Awkward job coming up and i'm wondering if I would be able to negative rig timber down using a very basic setup, ie. Endless sling , swing cheek pulley and rope and if yes how much regarding size would be acceptable on the system, no base friction device though.

Thanks

What size sling? if the wood is that small does it even need rigging?

[karl1991]

2t rating as anchor for pulley with steel krab.

Just awkward, will be able to chuck so much but there is a green house and shed in front of the tree situated at bottom of garden and only a 2/3 ft crazy paving path.

If it's that small I wouldn't bother with a pulley and all that jazz.

Half hitch-gob-half hitch-timber hitch.

It's a skinny lime, 14 inch dia. Wish I was able to use the garden behind as access but it's an absolute no no!

If it's 14" diameter trunk then I would say that the branches you want to rig down would be very manageable.

Its not the branches he is concerned about.

The branches are no problem I'll rig them down, I'm on about the stem, I have a greenhouse and shed under the tree and a small path between the two roughly 2 or 3 ft wide, as a landing point, but i don't want it obliterated by dropping everything in one area then there's the risk of bounce or roll into the greenhouse, I won't be able to chuck the timber over the top of the greenhouse as there is a small veg patch next to the greenhouse, im hoping to chog the timber down on itself. Thanks

If you go very small it should be fine

Oh right yeah gotcha.
