Question: Bracing the base pf your platform with 2 x 4.
Options:
To take any wobble out of or base we will add two braces. First we will cut a 45-degree angle out of the top ends on each 2 x 4. This is so that you can attach the 2 x 4 to the inside of the platform. We will form a V with your 2 x 4 so that they overlap at a straight part of tree but also cleanly abut onto the inside of the platform. Attach the top of the bracing to the platform from the bottom and on the inside. Make sure both are completely flush before you drive nails into them.Drive an 8" lag screw through the overlapping 2 x 4's at a sturdy point on the tree. Use a washer with the 2 x 4's and the lag screw for best results.
