How experienced are you in topping trees and installing antennas?
IMO the safest way for a heavy older person to climb and then top a tree is to have the right safety equipment, years of experience doing this kind of thing and some other experienced person to help.
Other than that, if you're willing to risk life and limb, at least hire an expert to assess your materials and proposition.
Oh, and if you really end doing this, try topping and attaching an antenna to a... say 8' tree first. That way you can learn the basics from simple maiming, instead of more severe outcomes.
- sigmaprimus 6y agoI climbed trees when I was much skinnier and very young, as far as hiring someone..TBH I wouldn't even know where to start. I should have added that the branches on the tree are not important and could be cut.
- brudgers 6y agoHave you tried calling a tree service? To me, that would solve the "chainsaws in high places" part of the problem. It might also introduce you to people who climb trees and do side jobs on Saturdays. Also, have you considered how to arrest lighting? A high hunk of metal with a conductor to the ground is an attractive nuisance for atmospheric electrical charge.
