TREE ANCHORING WITHOUT ANCHORS ® D-MAN Anchor System - Plati-Mat Introducing a NEW development in underground Tree Anchoring Solutions. With the ever increasing desire to create beautiful landscapes in challenging urban environments and roof gardens there are many occasions where a standard tree anchoring system cannot be used due to the location of buried services or shallow planting areas. The award® winning D-MAN is a strong, compact and lightweight system primarily designed to replace the traditional kerbstone or sleeper deadman. D-MAN® can be used individually or in multiples and cells simply...

Designed to satisfy the requirements of a specialist market, traditional deadmen systems have enabled Platipus to offer effective solutions for planting in difficult urban environments, where buried services may be a problem. The systems use kerbstones or sleepers as anchor points and providing that the soil placed on top of the kerbstones or sleepers has been well compacted before placing the tree in the pit, the systems offer a fast and efficient method of securing rootball trees up to 12 metres high. In addition to our standard systems, we also provide individual bespoke tree anchoring systems...

This tree anchoring system, using our own webbing strap and bespoke tensioner, is ideal for small inexpensive rootballed trees on projects with a limited budget. Although designed as a low cost tree anchoring system, careful consideration and many years of development have enabled us to manufacture a strap tensioner capable of producing the high loads needed to correctly anchor and secure these trees. Both 25mm and 35mm standard strap tensioners have been specifically engineered to meet our usual high standards. • No more leaning trees due to insufficient tension from inferior cargo ratchets...

Basic tools are essential in the installation process. Other equipment makes the general process easier and quicker. Where multiple installations of trees are concerned we recommend you consider using powered equipment to install the anchors. Additionally you will find it easier to install the larger "RF" and "G" kits using either petrol or compressed air breakers.
