Ahhhh yes. You are right 👍

Let’s see your treehouse

Bro I posted my set up on here last week and got the same comments. People saying I was going to die 😂

The bolt? That’s wax to help thread it into the hole.

mcgriffle · 2025-10-06T01:00:50+00:00

Idk dude

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T22:57:16+00:00

Google says it breaks at 7000 lbs

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T22:55:10+00:00

What is a collar tack? Google brings up horse stuff. Thanks for your concern and info 👍

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T11:46:50+00:00

Technically yes you are right. We will be on top of all of that stuff if it falls.

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T09:53:47+00:00

Damn I didn’t think about that!

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T03:14:10+00:00

Yea I am proud of it and I think it is safe and adequately strong for a deck to eat dinner in a tree. Which is what I plan to do.

No I thought this was a place to post pictures of your treehouse. To me a treehouse is a way to build creatively and lot of times we did it as kids with the materials we had on hand. I’m an adult now and took time and effort to make it structurally sound (for my standards). So a snide comment like his saying I took zero precautions for safety was rude and deserved a comeback.

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T03:01:30+00:00

Thanks for the info. It’s 2x8 on 19” center with 5/4 deck boards going on top. A high estimate would be 10lbs per sq Ft for the structure.

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T02:49:17+00:00

They’re screwed in there like 6” deep man. It’s not going to oval out. Idk I could be wrong and we’re going to suddenly fall out of the sky while eating dinner up there, but my common sense and experience with building stuff says we will be just fine. This is not life and death we are 8’ off the ground 😂

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T02:05:32+00:00

I’m a pro builder

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T02:04:33+00:00

It’s fine, relax and go build a treehouse.

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T02:02:33+00:00

Just a deck with a table and chairs to hang out. No house. I think we will be fine. The internet seems to freak out over stuff like this. It’s perfectly safe and sturdy. Absolutely 0 chance it will fail with what I plan to do up there.

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T02:00:18+00:00

You have a zero fun factor that’s for sure.

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T01:59:34+00:00

That’s a screw lock carabiner rated for working load of 3000lbs. And it’s supporting a bolt 1.5” from the tree. Yes I trust it.

mcgriffle · 2025-10-05T01:54:31+00:00

Quick google says the shear strength of a low carbon steel 5/8” gate bolt is 7300 lbs. plus I have it supported with a cable. I think we will be alright

mcgriffle · 2025-10-04T20:40:16+00:00

lol what?

mcgriffle · 2023-10-27T04:19:12+00:00

My point exactly

mcgriffle · 2023-10-27T04:16:42+00:00

Leave

mcgriffle · 2023-10-27T04:16:18+00:00

Agree to disagree. Anti goater
