Many people are wondering if using a rope to fell a tree is worth the trouble. For them, they might be thinking "yes it is, I've done this many times and it always worked out". Well let me ask you this, how many times have you actually been on top of a tree and felt like you wanted to just climb down and away? Not many probably, so why do so many people try this technique, and end up in an accident?
There is no reason why using a rope should help you fall a tree, it is not as simple as that. If you fell a tree from the top you would expect the tree to fall down, but unfortunately it does not always happen that way. Using this technique will almost always result in damage to the tree or pole that is attached to the tree, and if the tree were large could even cause damage to houses or other property. Also using this technique when the tree is already damaged could cause injury or death to someone on the ground.
What a lot of people don't realise is that if they were using a rope to fell a tree off the ground, and the rope was not secure to the tree, and the tree began to fall, the person who was using the rope could potentially be thrown from the tree or pole. This could happen regardless of whether or not the rope was secured to the tree. Also in case of a bad fall, if you were using a non standard piece of rope which was not designed for using with trees, this could mean that it could easily break and could cause injury. Always take into account what is being used to ensure that you make the right choices and choose quality rope. The consequences of choosing a piece of rope that is not designed for use with trees can be severe and you may find yourself needing a tree service to remove it from the site.
Also, what happens if the rope isn't strong enough? Safety regulations for using a rope are designed to help keep people safe. Using a rope that is too weak will put your life at risk. If you do find that you need to use a rope that is less than eight feet in length or you are using a rope that is shorter than the tree, then you need to make sure that you aren't using it any way that could cause it to snap. The last thing you want to do is cause an accident.
Another important point that needs to be made about using a rope is that the rope should be left where it is. Trying to pull it off can cause the entire fall to occur. This is why it is important to get professional tree services to remove fallen trees safely. A tree service will know how to remove the tree safely and also have the appropriate equipment to do so safely. They will also have a trained individual on hand to deal with any emergencies that may occur. You will need to be aware of this when you are using a rope to help fell a tree, so you can be assured that you aren't going to cause an accident.
Tree removal by using a rope is a great idea, but there are a few things that you need to remember as well. Always remember that the entire process should be done carefully and securely. Never use a rope to help fell a tree if you aren't confident that you know how to remove the tree safely. If you are unsure about using a rope to help fell a tree, contact a tree service right away to ensure that you remove the tree safely and quickly.
