Subject: A question about brackets
Hi all,
I am currently thinking about building a tree house for my lids. I have an old lime tree in my garden, which has three study boughs (branches). I thought that rather than build the tree house off the main trunk, I would put three platform supports running between the branches.
I wondered about the best way to fix the platform support beams to the boughs. I thought of metal U shaped brackets, which go underneath the bough, affixing at the bottom of the U to the bough, and then two right angle extensions that affixed to the platform support beam. Do such brackets exist? And are they to be recommended?
Any help or advice would be most welcome,
cheers,
T.
