Raising a Sphere

A sphere is easily moved around within the forest by ropes and tackles. I have slung them from tree to tree during placement or removal. They can also be helicoptered in to remote sites. Finished weight is about 500 kg (1100 lb).

Climbing the trees is the most difficult yet exhilarating work. Typically it takes a crew of 3 men a day to get a sphere rigged in the trees. Then it takes several more days to set up the stairway and suspension bridges. The whole set-up comes down in a day and vanishes without a trace.

The residency of a sphere is not limited to the trees. Any other solid objects like buildings or rock faces can work just as well.(Ensure this page is fully open before clicking on the photo gallery.)
