How to cut branches at a height without a ladder: do-it-yourself "long-range" garden saw

Gardeners and summer residents regularly have to produce pruning fruit trees. This is usually done in two ways:

• the first - with a hacksaw and a ladder;
• the second is a telescopic garden saw.

At the same time, the first method is not very convenient, and the second is costly - a garden saw with a long bar costs from two thousand rubles and more. But you can not spend money on such expensive equipment, but make a budget but effective garden saw yourself. How to do it - read on.

What is required to make a "long range" garden saw?

You will need the usual hacksaw, paint roller and handle for him. If you need to make a saw for cutting branches that are located at a height of more than three and a half meters, a second cutting and a couple of worm clamps will come in handy. As a tool, you will need a welding machine and a grinder, as well as a set of keys and screwdrivers, which are found in almost every home.

How to make a device for pruning branches at a height?

Everything is done very simply. First, it is necessary to disassemble the roller - remove the roller from it, on which the fur coat is installed. After such dismantling, only the handle with the clasp should remain from the roller. Next, the handle is removed from the hacksaw - one sheet should remain.

The next stage involves joining these two parts by welding. That is, the clasp is applied to the canvas and welded. The principle of connecting the hacksaw blade with the clasp is as follows: the upper edge of the blade should be parallel to the direction of the handle. If the clasp is taken from a large roller, then it must be cut so that it does not go beyond the cutting part of the hacksaw.

After that, it remains to assemble the device, namely to attach the handle / handle to the roller mount, and on this a budget garden saw that can reach hard-to-reach branches is ready. If it is necessary to cut branches at a height of 4–5 meters, the handle can be extended by connecting two cuttings with metal clamps.
