Transporting a 14-foot Steel Tree, Part 1 - Kevin Caron

[earlie47]

I'm waiting to see the installation. How are you going to hold it down?

[kevincaron]

The tree will be held down with 1/2 inch anchor bolts that are welded to the rebar frame that is in the concrete pad. The pad is 5 foot wide by 4 foot deep. Watch for the video next week on the installation.

Kevin, You're a rock star! I didn't know you had that fancy lift at your shop. Sweet!! I can't believe that thing only weighs 800 pounds. It seems like each bar would weigh at least 50 pounds and there seem to be many of those bad boys.

Thanks! The studio was a auto repair shop. I just turned in to a welding studio. I was hoping to use the inground lift cylinder that the tree was sitting on to lift it up. However it was just on stable enough for me so I went with option number 2. The steel bars only weigh in at 15 lbs. each.
