1. Determine a distance for your zip line. Typically 100-200ft. Be sure the trees you choose
to anchor the zip line are big enough (8-10 recommended) There should be no
obstruction in the path of your zip line. You want a straight clear path. Once you have
chosen your area and anchor trees, measure the distance from tree to tree to
determine your cable length.
Remember to add enough cable to loop around both
anchor trees, plus (if not included pre-made with your kit) an additional 4-6 feet for the
lower end safety link.
2. Stretch out your cable between the trees to be sure there is enough. If not pre-made on
your cable, make a loop on one end as shown below. Be sure to include a thimble.
Clamps should be approximately 3 inches apart.
This will be the high end of the zip line.
NOTE : Use black electrical tape to keep the cable from fraying on the end
