Can it be used to top off a tree like an arborvite? I have them on 3 sides of an 16x32 pool enclosure.

I'm not that familiar with arborvites, but when i googled it, the trees looked like shaped pointed decorative like trees? This saw will work best on fairly stiff branches. If your trees have small very flexible limbs, i'm afraid the teeth won't grip to cut.

Hello Susan,I would not recommend this tool for that type of tree. That tree is more of a hedge than a typical tree with large limbs. There is also a correct way to prune this type of tree and you should follow that procedure in order to continue to enjoy the beauty and benefits of the tree. I included a website underneath for you. I hope this helps.http://extension.unh.edu/resources/files/Resource000594_Rep616.pdfregardsfrank

Maybe. I tried trimming the top of a Holly tree but it is hard to saw vertical branches (or trunk) when it is rather tall. With 2 or 3 extensions (12 or 18 ft), the saw has enough weight that I can't hold the blade sideways and cut vertical branches. I works best on horizontal or near-horizontal branches. If the branch is not too thick, you can buy a pruning adapter that can be used in place of the saw blade, which may cut up to 1 or 1.5 inch branches.

Susan, I also would say no. It is more for limbs hortizontally or close to it. You may try and use a long handled pruner model just as long. It will shear off the top as long as it is not over 1" diameter trunk. Mike

Susan,I would have to say NO. I had Aborvite's at my previous home. If I'm not mistaked, the "Tree" has no real limbs. Which this is ideal for.I'm using it now to trim dead Palm tree "branches", which you can saw horizonality. -Ron

Yes, depending on the height. I have a line along one edge of the property too high to top off.

Susan, I doubt that the Gilmour saw could be used to top a tree. For the saw to cut effectively, the limbs need to be fairly stationery and not move back and forth. Since you're topping a tree, I wouldn't think the limbs on top of the tree would be stationery enough. But for pruning limbs, the saw is outstanding. Best pruning saw I've ever owned. Best of luck in your tree trimming!

Susan, I would also say no. This type of pruning saw is primarily for trimming landscape tree limbs or pine/spruce trees. The blade is very aggressive. Arborvitae have no "limbs" per se. The type of pole you're looking for would have a lopping blade at the end with an extended trigger or rope to snap closed when pulled. Something like Fiskars model 9240 Telescoping pruning pole (on Amazon's site) would work well.

I'm not familiar with arborvitae, but from pictures, they look like evergreens which tend to be softer than the oaks I've trimmed. If the part of your tree you are trying to top has a fairly rigid trunk, the saw should work. If the trunk sways easily, but is relatively heavy, you might be able to use the sway to help cut (with some practice). If the trunk is lightweight or you need to trim small branches, you probably need a pruner attachment.

I honestly don't think this pool would be good for that. The sides were pretty flimsy, and we actually ended up throwing the pool away at the end of the summer. We had to use patio chairs to try to prop the sides up after the first few times we used it.

I am not sure, but the top step would probably be even with the top of your pool. I would check with the manufacturer.

I will tell you that I have an older pool and it worked. From what my pool guy said they for overlap as well. my pool is a beaded system. Sorry since I am not a pool expert look to see if your pool is beaded or not that that might help.

This is for inground pools and they do not have 30ft pole. So answer is no.

I don't think so because the base of it at the top is flat. Now, if you had another piece of wood going across your angle that might work.

I didn't try that, but I don't think it would work. There is no way to really clean the surface of a tree to adhere the spikes. Wouldn't the tree bark eventually fall off? Maybe if you wired them or tied them onto a level surface. I saw another comment that the spikes degrade in sunlight too, so that might be a problem.

No, it's not going to reach all the way across your pool. The top of my pool is 15ft, and I use a 18ft cover, being a little big is fine. I just fold mine under, I don't believe you want to cut it.

I applied it to 2"x 16" rounded edge on the the Jacuzzi bench and has held up for a year now. I recently used it again around pvc to plug a leak. I would suspect it will work around the skimmer and bond with rebar.

Wouldn't see why not. Get the rectangular size that is sufficient to cover the entire pool. Lay it out flat over the pool. It will initially likely extend beyond the edges of your pool. Then using a pair of sharp scissors, you can trim it very easily as you follow the contour of your pool's edge. The cover we purchased was somewhat larger than the pool (ours is rectangular), so it was a matter following the outer edge of the pool with the scissors to obtain the perfect fit. Hope that helps.

You could also put another rope around the tree and then run the cord from the Aqua Sphere through that. My anchor point is about 2.5ft from the pool, and that is just the limit to where I can easily stretch the cord to stand up in 3ft of water.

I don't see why not. We use ours to drain the water off the top of the pool cover.

I wouldn't use it for that. Too much for plants only good on gutters if there's not a lot in them.

Not really. It needs 2 pieces of 18 inch long 2 x 4 to go above the horizontal wood. So unless this piece of tree branch is relatively straight. It will not work that I can think of.

Either way will work. Ours is on our wood pool deck but we use canopy weights and use the cord provided on the fabric top to tie it off on the rails of the deck. It works great.

I think it can. The mounting plate is a flat piece of metal with 4 screw holes. The plate would probably not lie flush against a tree trunk, but if you use long screws, it would be secure. This product is heavy duty, and not a flimsy piece of metal.

I would think so. Our pool is 32 by 16 and we use one of those dark blue "bubble wrap" covers over it to help heat it in the spring. That is about a half inch thick and it will all roll up on there. I would suggest this - we didn't buy the pole for it. We used Sch 10 PVC pipe and it sags quite a bit. I'd suggest you buy the pipe that comes with it.
