  17. Arborbolts are for lightening rods on trees I thought, I put up loads of orienteering plaques. I used a spring which they put on small tree sign plaques, basically a cone spring. So cone spring and a timberfix hex screw, as tree grows bird box compresses spring. Then go up and loosen it off, tree officer was very happy with it and took a sample with him.
