The cables really only come into play when there is a lot of weight on one side or the other. Support system has made it through two winters now and some fairly high winds without any signs of distress. Thanks for the note. Will keep you posted.

I'm curious what diameter of lag screws you used for the tops of the cables and for the main supports underneath. I'm also trying to gather data on which support ideas work well and which ones don't. So please keep in touch with me over the years, and if the tree house support system fails or needs modification, please let me know what happened and how you resolved it.

Funny how times have changed. Great to hear from you. Will send you a note! Jim We were too busy riding over to the convenience store to pickup a can of beans. Funny how times have changed.

I don't think the cows could ever get into this one to ruin the camp-outs. Why didn't we think of doing this when we were kids? Brad Jim
