I have tree straps that are too short for many of these big ol' West Coast trees, and I'm very excited about my newly learned ability to splice line. So I picked up a hank of Amsteel to make some extenders. My question now is: How long can I make them without hurting the trees?
My tree straps are currently 6 ft. long. What's the longest I can make my extenders while still making sure that the tree straps are still supporting the weight? I'd like to be able to maximize the length of my straps without harming trees by having the Amsteel cutting into the them. Thoughts? Maths? Other ideas for how to accomplish the same goals?
I'll be camping out after a wedding this weekend, so I'd like to get a workable setup together soon without having to order any other materials or supplies. Thanks!
