Cable and Lightning Protection System Inspection


Hardware in trees needs to be inspected periodically. There are a few things to keep in mind. Hardware and installation techniques should conform to the ANSI A300 Support Systems Standard. Hint: if you purchased your hardware at the hardware store, it probably isn't up to standard. Cabling systems work. Lightning protection systems work. Props work, Through-bolts work. In the right situations, that is.

Please feel free to leave a comment or send an email. If you're looking for a TCIA Accredited Houston Tree Service, a Certified Arborist or just someone who is serious about tree care, call the company I've been working with since 2002, Bartlett Tree Experts, at 713-692-6371. We'll set a time for me to come out, or, depending on what part of town you're in, John Jones orShane Hrobar. This is my personal blog: it is not affiliated with Bartlett Tree Experts, whose website you can visit at www.bartlett.com (I especially recommend the "Resource Library" under "Site Map".)
