Hi everyone,

I am looking to install cables around two large trees in my backyard with a point for rigging in the center. It needs to be very strong and secure. I want to find someone who knows what they're doing to account for trees swaying in the wind, etc. I'd rather not do a simple eye bolt in each tree, I'd like to wrap it around the entire stump.

Does anyone know of good riggers with experience with trees?

Thanks!

If these are established trees which it sounds like they are, then let them sway it will strengthen them. The other thing is what type of trees are they, some trees are very weak, like a China Berry others like Pecan, Mesquite and Oak will not be affected as much. The Oak does have a shallower root system and if the ground is exceedingly saturated may topple in a big, sustained wind. So I would say you need to state for sure the types of trees you have and repost your question
