Safety is of the highest concern to treestand manufacturers. In support of the treestand manufacturing industry, Stress Outdoor® has created a focused effort to bring an unsurpassed level of engineering experience and capability to the design and testing challenges faced by this industry. As experts in structural design, stress analysis, instrumentation, testing, structural data analysis, metallurgy and polymer science, Stress Outdoor® has the ability to accurately quantify life-limiting aspects of treestand performance imparted by static, dynamic and fatigue loads in isolation or in combination. Stress Outdoor® can include environmental-related degradation mechanisms of straps and corrosion of aluminum and steel in its performance analysis and testing programs to form a more complete representation or real world results and their impact on stand safety and performance.
