Will a fallen tree branch tear this product?

its according how big the branch is if its 3 -4 inches thick probably especially if it has a point on it

Branch has to be at least four or five inches thick. Coolaroo fabric is pretty tough stuff. You'll see.

You also might want to add a turnbuckle to the mix, so you can maintain constant tension on the cable.. Of course, you also might pull your tree down. :)

It can but not recommended because it can burn the folage depending on the tree type. You need to be clear what kind of problem you are trying to handle. Contact me at 928-343-2729 and I can help you determine if this is really what you need to be considering. I am a licensed chemical supplier. Thanks, Rick

I drilled a hole in a substantial branch and used the eye hook provided.... I then used some liquid tree repair around the hole to be sure the tree stayed healthy at the drill spot ... What is harmful to a tree is to wrap or tie rope around branches; this chokes the branch off from the rest of the tree....

Dear Olga, it would help if you would specify the question. You can always attach anything to something, somehow. Otherwise, I don't see a difference between a branch of a tree and a support beam of a house, as long as there is no stuff on it. I could easily attach mine to a tree branch w/o extra hooks or slings etc. You throw it over, pull the whole thing through its own end, thats it.

No, they would destroy it. I would try something that smells bad. Maybe pinesol not on the trunk on rags in containers near the tree.

I would think it would be fine. I have chipped ever-green branches that were wet without issue. I would run some dry stuff thru it every now and again to sort'a clear it out.

Yes, you will need some strong wire cutters. I just wrap the excess around the tree for extra support.

That's exactly what I bought it for, and I cut it into several pieces as my trees are small. However you will need supports to hold it away from the branches, as it weighs them down a bit since it is densely woven and therefore heavy for tender branches to support.

I have used this for the last year. My opinion: in an emergency yes (bad thunder storm); in normal traveling, no. It may eventually damage the awning material. Again, just my opinion.Bobby d.

Depends,at full extension out would break in half if poked in to the ground during your wipe out. If you threw it to the side and it didn't hit a tree out anything it should be okay. We use it for jet pack testing and it has held up pretty good

I have a small piece of property and carry this with me in the woods. I have cut small branches, invasive vines, and thrown it ALOT with out any worries of it breaking or hurting the performance. So in summation, yes, it will definitely handle heavy abuse and throwing at log, trees, stumps, etc. I have hit the hilt and handle many many times without any permanent damage.

This is made for attaching to a play set. I don't know how you would affix to a tree branch - I think the chains would slip? Maybe you would need these too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DTWB2QW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AXNAZD4R5CUSP

Not in my opinion. Mine didn't last very long before it hit a tree branch and the fiberglass whip pulled right out of the threaded metal piece, breaking the wire and rendering it useless. Yes, I had a spring on it. I replaced it with a Firestik, which has proven to be much more durable.

yes, but I would recommend something with a shorter blade height so you can fit it between close limbs (only applies if they are still on the tree). One of the collapsible hand saws are great for this purpose

It's perfect for hanging from a tree but it may be smart to protect the tree branch from damage by putting a piece of rubber hose over that part of the chain that rubs against the branch when the swing is in motion.

My rope broke the first week I had it. I would go to a fabric store and try to find something similar to it and staple it to the tree.Its just an Idea.
