Abstract
A system and method for anchoring a tree is disclosed. A free end of an anchored guyline is looped around a tree. The guyline has been received through openings in the tension bar such that the tension bar is located between the anchored end of the guyline and tree. Tension is created within the guyline by pulling the tension bar. The tension bar and guyline are squeezed together and the guyline tied off at the tension bar.
Claims21
A method for anchoring a tree comprising the steps of:
- looping a free end of an unanchored guyline that also passes through an opening in a tension bar around a tree and through an open hole in the tension bar such that tension bar is located between the anchored end of the guyline and tree;
- tying a stop knot within the free end of the guyline at the tension bar to allow pulling of the tension bar and creating tension within the guyline;
- squeezing the tension bar and guyline together;
- and
- tying off the guyline secured with an anchor.
