- How to put a zipline under tension and the proper way to attach the cable.
You'll see that a turnbuckle is not essential and in fact, it is safer without it because an element that is not on your zipline simply cannot fail.
Especially at risk are all those ziplines set up with a 1/4" cable and 1/2" turnbuckle. If you insist in using a 1/4" cable, at least do not use the turnbuckle and use the technique described in this tutorial to fine tune the tension. Be safe!
You were a HUGE help! Thank you so much for taking the time to post your video.
Feels good to hear it. Thank you very much.
Nice video. I really like the tip about installing the clamps in that order to distribute the load over them evenly. Looks fun.
Yes... I think the wire clip order is the most important info from this video. Thanks,
Outstanding tutorial... Nicely executed... Thankyou for sharing! 😃👍
Thanks for the comment...
Thanks for the video, I am building my own zipline and this helped a ton!
Adam Stephens No problem Adam, don't hesitate to send me an email if you need any advise at all.
Zip Rush awesome, thank you.
Same here, as I was having serious issues locating a Klein tool or wire grip locally. Had not thought of using more U-clamps with the come-along winch.
+Zip Rush what's your email address? I'm making one and have some questions.
Nice video, Awesome backyard..
Maybe you can offer me some advice, I'm hanging my Grandkids a really nice swing from a tree and I don't have the really good position limb, but I can run wire cable between two trees, about 20' apart, then using a D-ring or clevis, attach my rope. My rope will tie to D-ring or clevis, and they will hang on wire cable stretched between two trees. I can use a come along to pull cable tight, then secure with cable clamps like you did. I know not to saddle a dead horse, but how far apart do I install wire cable clamps? 6"? Any suggestions is appreciated. Thank you, John
hi, i want to make a public zip line, around 20 feet
can i use this technique to?
thanks before
Great video. However, could you have done all the clip adjustments while the come-along still had all the tension on the cable?
I am not sure I understand your question. The idea is to use the top adjustment (pushing the wire clips towards the tree) in order to regain some of the lost tension that occur when you take the come-along off of the cable. While the tension regained is not enough to re-tension your zipline, it will help to take a bit os slack. The key here is to always put more tension on the come-along than what you finally need because you will lose some to take it off.
Why tree is not secured from cuts by cable?
+DjVirusPL This zipline was only set once for an afternoon session... but in fact, there is protection on the top tree, you just can't see it on the video.
High Five!! Great Video!
You forgot to add some blocks to run the wire line around the tree to protect it from wire cut damage, next time THINK GREEN
Lke I said in a previous comment: "This zipline was only set once for an afternoon session... but in fact, there is protection on the top tree, you just can't see it on the video."
