Dynamic tree support

No more cables for me. I use the "sav-a tree" dynamic system from Sherrill.

I am not a fan of cables and am glad to use this rope in prefernce.

You know, I asked this question when jomoco was doing his cabling here in my and his hometown or territorrey(torrey-get it) and got no response- wounding the tree to save it versus saving it. Whatever,

yeah the green rope can take the elements for years. It has a good amount of stretch so its not good for much else besides supporting trees. Its like a buck a foot at Amercan Arborist. The web straps get pricey but you can use lags or better yet through bolts.

seems like the way to go, thats sweet swing for the little one. will the rope last as long as a cable under the elements though or is it something you should renew ever so many years?

I just think it should be dynamic.

They say it lasts a long time. I guess not as long as a cable but now you have inspections to do and HEY guess what? Its time for it to be redone after 5 years.

Its to easy putting this stuff in. No drills, cable cutters, hauling heavy non-plyable cable through the tree and etc. It really is a joy to work with. And just tell the HO's of the seriuosness involved and keep track of the systems you install. Sure, some will need attention of the years; a quick payed climb to inspected or use a sightglass from the ground.
