An Introduction to Supplemental Tree-Support Systems, Part 2: How to Cable, and the Tools We Use to Make It Happen
BY ANDY JONES, CTSP, AND NICK GREENWOOD, CTSP
In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the need for supplemental support systems and the reasons we rely on cabling systems to serve as solutions for many structural vulnerabilities. In this article, we will cover some needed clarifications regarding the new A300-2023 as it applies to cabling. We then will revisit “proactive” vs. “reactive” cabling. Finally, we will cover the two primary types of cabling systems, commonly used hardware options, the tools we rely upon and the primary steps we take for proper installation.
