Our low-maintenance and tree protective mounting system for platforms
Awarded with IAPA Innovation Award Best Design 2014
Usually, wooden platforms are attached to the trees by clamping construction timbers. Due to the thickness growth of the tree this often leads to great damages - as a result platforms need to be dismounted and newly constructed.
Design principle
The x-centric platform consists of a wooden frame with radial, adjustable spindles. It offers quick installation, easy adjustment and better durability without harming the tree substance.
