What are the two types of rods used in bracing?

Dead-end grips
Thimble
Dynamic
Lag-threaded, machine-threaded

The correct answer is: Lag-threaded, machine-threaded

The correct answer identifies the two types of rods used in bracing as lag-threaded and machine-threaded. These rods are essential components for providing support to trees that may be structurally compromised or need reinforcement. Lag-threaded rods typically have coarse threads that allow them to be securely anchored into a tree or a structural element, offering stability through their grip. In contrast, machine-threaded rods utilize finer threads, which can facilitate easier adjustments and a more precise fit in connection points. The selection between the two often depends on the specific needs of the bracing system and the conditions of the tree being supported. Understanding these different types of rods is crucial for arborists when designing effective bracing systems that minimize risk and enhance the structural integrity of trees under stress.
