The original Garnier Limb® is 12-1/4” long, with a 6” perch and a 1” Boss/Collar. Made from 4150 steel quenched and tempered R-32 hardness.
Garnier Limbs® are the foundation of a treehouse, by anchoring the treehouse to a tree. GL’s® are designed to hold the load out away from the tree in shear. Standard Garnier Limb's® are used from simple kid treehouse's to standard treehouses.

These bolts are high quality, precision cut, and require the right installation tools. One note, we used two separate bits to drill out the deep hole and the 3" boss hole. The two holes were not exactly centered resulting in the boss not perfectly lining up with the 3" hole. I recommend using the all in one bit sold or rented...it makes a difference
Easy to use
Looked good and works
I just got my 2 test GL's and I love them, they are really strong very well build I is a great product designed by Mr. Garnier, he is a genius. I am waiting for the 15" to go back in stock now ;)
I was shocked at how easy this was to actually install. It is doing wonderfully after a couple of weeks. No concerns at all and looking forward to years of great support. :)
When the time comes to perch your offspring high over a steep ravine, in an attempt to remedy an aching absence in your own childhood, choose the name pros trust: Garnier!
These bolts will make you wonder why Jimmy’s treehouse didn’t blow away with the first strong breeze.
When you ask your contractor friend for advice on materials, and he says, “I’d use pressure-treated lumber,” and that’s what you already bought, then you’ll say, “Oh,good. I was worried that I was overbuilding it,” and he’ll say, “Oh, you’re definitely overbuilding it.” That’s when you’ll be glad you invested in the heaviest pieces of solid steel that ever arrived by post on your doorstep.
Long before your project is finished you will marvel at these satisfyingly solid connection points.
Dream big on your Garnier Limbs!
Plus, I received my order VERY promptly, even as the fires in Oregon were spreading. I hope you all, your loved ones, and your tree creations are safe and sound. Thanks for your inspiration and for equipping us to pursue our crackpot dreams!
Solid metal beauty!
I love these bolts. They are designed well and built strong. I purchased these with the standard sliding beams. They are a great fit. This was an important decision for me to ensure the foundation of the treehouse is strong. I have no worries now with these in place.
I'm pretty amazed at how easy it was to install, and even more so about it's design and strength. The treehouse we built using the Garnier Limb isn't going anywhere.
