And are you threading the tree first? Or did you mean screws? ____________________ 1993 RF400R - 2002 Bandit 1200 - 2012 1250 FA |

I fixed a fence panel and gravel board into a 60ft Oak tree in the corner of my back garden last year.
Mainly because I couldn't put a concrete post there because of the angle of the tree and the proximity of the roots
I sawed and chiselled a two inch wide groove at the base to slot a concrete gravel board into and then
screwed the fence panel directly into the tree with 4 inch stainless screws. I can safely say the massive leafy
old fucker couldn't care less, and has grown so big this year that I need to have it significantly reduced so my garden
can see sunshine again. So that's another 500 quid down the drain. It did leak a bit of sap immediately after doing
the job, but that's the extent of the trauma to the tree. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Oh Cheam!
Dont you have 'a man' to come and do things like that? Oh, you ARE the man!
Anyway, I have nothing to add. I'd stick screws in, but they are 'council' trees so expect much 'outraged of Cheam' letters to the local rag and MP.
Lovely village though. ____________________ Like a Yorkie - I'm not for the girls |

Echo the points about the banner being too low anyway. Get a longer ladder/grow some stones.
Bolts suggest you'll be drilling all the way through and putting a nut on the other side? I'm going to assume you mean screws.
A quick Google-fu suggests the trees are in the Cheam Village Conservation Area. Drilling holes/objects into a protected tree constitutes damage and technically is an offence without permission from the Borough Council first, which they'd be unlikely to consent to given the tree's prominent position and the fact that birch trees decay for a pastime once pruned/damaged.
If asked they'll only suggest a non-invasive method of attachment I.E rope or cable ties which are removed once finished with. Which given the scenario looks perfectly reasonable to me.
That said, even the most astute councillor probably won't even notice or care. My opinion? So long as the fittings are the smallest diameter possible, it'll probably be fine (legal status notwithstanding) since I'm of the belief that ropes/cable ties rubbing away the live cambium as the banner blows in the wind is probably more damaging than a few screws. ____________________ Yamaha FZ6 S2 |
