I'm needing to get a new flagpole bracket that mounts to a tree. No problem. Except, I'd like to not screw it into the tree. I'd prefer to screw it to a 2x4, and then fix the 2x4 to the tree using a strap, of some sort. Tne strap I have in mind, is along the lines of a long radiator hose type of clamp. This way I can take the whole thing down, as needed. Also, it prevents the tree bark from "consuming" the bracket. I need a strap of 42". Does anyone know if such a thing exists, or, if there's a different kind of strap-type device. I was looking online, and nothing was popping up. I'll keep searching, using different search criteria. I suppose bungee cords or ratchet straps would suffice, but I'm looking for something less visible. *edit. I could zip together multiple long zip strips. Not sure how tight they'd hold the 2x4 in place. A little wobble is acceptable.
Camo rachet straps? Or... https://www.mscdirect.com/browse/tn...MIntXlzMTt6AIVCZezCh1liQL5EAQYAyABEgLGQ_D_BwE
Thanks. I saw those. Too small, unless you can connect multiples together. I'd have to talk to someone, to see if they can be hooked togethet.
Why not a steel cable you can spray paint brown? You could use a turnbuckle to tighten. You can buy cable by the foot at most hardware stores. Lots of hardware for cable too. Good luck
Yes, you can hook multiples together...but it says it goes up to 20" diameter...so that is 60 long, you said you needed 42"...which just happens to be the minimum for these too...
You can buy that SS band material in a roll, make them any length you want...I've seen them 20' long before...
Hmm.. interesting. The cable would be wrapped around the tree. So wouldn't the turnbuckle. Right? If against the tree, the turnbuckle wouldn't be able to tighten, unless there's a type I'm not aware of. Off to search for turnbuckkes.
If you have a sheet metal shop they can sheer strips of metal. They use strips to hang duct work from rafters.
We use a bander for banding skids of concrete forms snd 2x4's on the construction site. Know anyone that does commercial construction that would bring you banding and crimps/crimper?
I do not. My objective(s) are to keep it simple, inexpensive, and something that can be removed easily and put back.. Stringing zip ties/strips together, or, velcro straps, I think would be a solution. All good options. Keep them coming.
